The Media Mob

Meet the HuffPo Twins


MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 4—A pair of 26-year-old twins, Matthew and Peter Slutsky, are freelancing for The Huffington Post. They make short films and they're up from Washington to document campaign events and to produce what they described as "serious journalism."

But sometimes you only have the material the subjects are giving you. This afternoon, they were making a video of a sleepy Mike Huckabee event that the "mainstream" reporters were openly mocking among themselves.

"I saw Obama earlier today and I have to do this? This is infuriating," said one radio reporter.

Messrs. Slutsky were walking around with their shoulders slumped and looked a little sad. They admitted a personal loyalty to Barack Obama but said that their real personal goals over the next few days would be to land stories on the front page of the Huffington Post.

I've seen some of the Slutskys' work -- great stuff, guys!!

Jeremy (not verified) says:

These guys are producing top-notch stuff, including clever and insightful videos covering the primaries. Why they don't have their own syndicated radio show yet I cannot fathom.

Noah H. (not verified) says:

I agree. The Slutsky brothers are brilliant, someone should get them a show ASAP.

Z (not verified) says:

Jeremy, I could not have said it better myself. I will definitely be following them throughout the election.
