the truth is, Lauer did a fantastic job at the meaningless campaign coverage
we've come to demand from our media. At some point, networks decided they could
ask questions and the answers would just be someone else's problem. Specifically,
yours.
I wouldn't blame it on the moderator here, I would actually ask the
viewers to really look at what Donald Trump is saying.
Mr. Trump said he would have ordered his generals 2 cease oil from our enemies
isn't that against the Geneva Convention? Or is that a good idea?
Well, I'm no military lawyer but I think that people can look at the
definition of war crimes and come to their own conclusions
You heard her, average American! In your plentiful spare time when you're not
working your two jobs or watching your screaming kids,
why not spend 20 or 30 hours studying the Geneva Convention
so you know whether or not it's ok to steal another country's oil? That's so
much easier than asking reporters and moderators to do their fucking jobs!
I do not believe that it's my job to be a truth squad
Well it should be because if you haven't noticed, we the people suck at it
I want to put up one more number from the latest fox news poll, the likelihood
that the Clintons were selling influence to those who donated to the Clinton
Foundation -- very or somewhat likely, sixty-six percent, not likely or not at
all
thirty percent, which basically is 2 to 1. Howie, folks believe this is, or was, pay
to play
Look they only have 24 hours, there's no time to report the facts and what people
feel are the facts, you got to choose one!
Guys, we are swimming in bad information.
Our dads are on Facebook -- chemtrails are not real, dad -- why can't the media just
tell us what's true and what's bullshit?
Well, you have to call the guy a liar, and that's the problem, that's a difficult thing for Matt Lauer to do,
because it sounds like an opinion.You're not supposed to have opinions in this
business
Yeah but calling a liar a liar isn't an opinion if you can prove it,
that's what we call a fact! The idea that news network execs traded their balls
for ratings --
that's just my opinion. And look, I know the newsrooms are trying to fact-check
the geyser of mendacious vomit that spews nonstop from the Trump campaign
they even invented the lower third lie detector just for him!
Unfortunately only immigrants read subtitles, but facts without context are
as bad as lies. Case in point --
They destroyed Blackberry's with hammers in the State Department
that's not what the presidents do--
Hang on hang on hang on hang on, Evan Perez, hammers? Fact check that for
me please on the fly
Uh, yes they did, Brooke uh -- They did.
Good, you checked a fact! But you never bothered to mention that government officials are required to permanently delete the data
on old devices, they destroy them to keep the data safe. We can't read nerd mags
for you, CNN, we're busy with our Geneva Conventions homework!
So, absent a more reasonable explanation, I guess we'll just believe this
People who have nothing to hide don't smash phones with hammers, they don't.
Some would say destroying evidence --
What kind of backwoods mafia thing is this?
They used bleach, they used the hammer to clean up the crime scene
Is this Goodfellas, or is this the State Department?
Her proxies proceed to smash them with hammers --
2 of them -- 2 is too many -- Just for the record, I'm not judging.
No, don't judge, Anderson, judges are biased. Except for the judge that sends
that mafia cunt to jail.
The problem is news organizations simply are not equipped to cover a candidate
whose entire being is a lie, they're built to present us with a choice
between two qualified, decent public servants with different ideologies who
could both do the job of president without starting World War 3 on their
first day in office because a random Iranian flipped off one of our boats.
Maintaining the image of fairness requires them to portray Hillary and
Trump as equally flawed candidates even though they know that's incorrect.
On the one hand, you have the most breathtakingly unqualified ignoramus to
ever heave his spray-tanned bulk within striking distance of elected office, a
race-baiting bully who, according to two meticulously researched biographies is a
tax cheating, investor swindling, worker shafting, dictator loving, pathologically
lying, Attorney's General-bribing, philandering, mobbed-up, narcissistic
serial con artist, who hasn't got the attention span to read a fortune cookie,
much less a fucking intelligence briefing.
But, but on the other hand
Hillary Clinton used a private email server. See? Perfectly even.
Next up on the place for politics, the neck and neck Senate race between a
Rhodes scholar and a petri dish of fecal bacteria. Tweet us your thoughts,
we'll be right back
