Wasn't sure what section to post this in, but this is great example of the complete irrelevancy of anything that comes out of the media's mouths. This is of course nothing new, but it's great seeing it on video showing clear examples of blatantly lying and spinning.

This is probably a good video to show to friends who have "faith" in mainstream media, it's short, sweet, and to the point.

Another good one. Mics go off (or so they assume), and mainstream media commentators say the complete opposite of what they've been saying on air.

In the post 911 days Jon Stewart became popular, some sane voice who told the truth between the lines ( not in absolute terms) in the format of the comedy from the corporate studios that garnered large young audience. It was estimated his one hour program reached 20% to 30% young audience at that time. Here is what he has to say about latest Trump story in his own style on CNN.

Jon Stweart was also the recipient of the 2022 Mark Twain Award for American Comedy. A bunch of comedians like Dave Chappelle, Neil Oliver, Steve Carrell, and Stephen Colbert speak to who he was for them as a man and a friend. He sure helped me back when I was a young'un trying to get a handle on the neocon forever wars.
