Axios Founders: Who Broke the Media? Depending on who you talk to, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen are either the swampiest of swamp creatures—the epitome of all that is wrong with political journalism, suction eels on the hull of the good ship of state—or, alternatively, two of the most interesting, successful entrepreneurs in the new media landscape.

He once told me that he couldn’t do an interview because he was rehearsing a cabaret show for his bungalow colony.
