>>William Haynes: Today we're gonna be talking about a lot of news, about news, which is
I'm not going to make that newsception joke. I'm William Haynes, you're watching SourceFed.

For those of you who are unaware Russell Brand is comedian, actor, radio host, author and
recently started an online news source called The Trews: True News with Russell Brand.
Which is great to me.
Recently Brand has made news over his criticism of TV host Sean Hannity who is very easy
to make fun of. In the video Brand stated that the anchor when speaking of the Israel-Palestine
conflict is only “interested in shouting, and pointing, and simplifying things.” And
after hearing Brand say such a thing one might think Brand himself is pointing fingers until
you look up clips of Hannity saying things like:
When I do an interview, I too like to yell at people and make them feel like they're dumb.
Because everybody knows THE LOUDER YOU ARE
THE SMARTER PEOPLE THINK YOU IS.
Hello everybody, I'm William Haynes, how are you doing today?
Also in the video Brand meticously criticizes Hannity’s interview with Yousef Munayyer
of the Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center. If you say those words in a sentence a lot
of people get scared because of ignorance.
Brand’s main point is exemplified when he stated “Sean’s not interested in truth
– Hannity is only interested [in] pushing a particular perspective.” Which is what
you do when you have something called a power complex and want to use fear to climb your
way to the top, like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
For those of you who are unaware there are a lot of things happening in Israel and Palestine.
A lot of people are dying… often. It’s weird to me that a lot of people aren’t
even aware that things are even happening in the Middle East.
Some people think the Middle East is a new store they can buy skinny jeans in at the
mall. And I’m pretty sure the government hired Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus to distract
us from what’s really going on in the world and it’s working. #Conspiracy
I 100% of the time will read an article about Justin Bieber because it’s fun looking at
people who are dumber than me, not looking at people who are dying more than me. That
makes me sad. And I do think it’s ok to sometimes fill our brains with this as long
as we remember it’s just jokes and only matters if you need something to laugh at.
I step off my soap box, but not literally. I'm standing on one right now. I need to do that for my job.
Probably the most notable part of the video is when Brand compares Hannity;s likeness,
to that of a Ken Doll which I think is giving him too much credit. If a Ken doll was a real
guy he’d be slaying the kitty and stealing women from me constantly. I think I’m going
to stick to my comparison of his mentality to Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine though.
Now we’re going to play a game called Who Said It: Emperor Palpatine or Sean Hannity.
“I hate when people use my tactics against me” … Sean Hannity.
“I am the senate.” – Emperor Palpatine
“Your faith in your friends is yours.” Emperor Palpatine
“I like guts in my leaders.” … Sean Hannity
So in conclusion, Russell Brand is once again spot on even though he’s kind of crazy but
I personally love it. Look at that man’s hair. He has genius hair. Geniuses have to
have crazy hair, E.g. Einsten, Bill Nye and the 11th Doctor. I know he’s ficitional…
But the doctor is real in my heart. Who’s real in your heart, let me know in the comments
down below. Have a good day.
