    "Thanks For Risking Your Life"
    Lewis Black, heir to the George Carlin throne of the comedy rant, and practitioner of his signature blend of frustrated optimism, lets loose again on his familiar punching bags of hypocrites, corporate swindlers, and governmental incompetents. Black doesn’t have set-ups to jokes so much as he has volcanic build-ups, twitchily rumbling up to eruptive punch lines. Black performed this set just days after the rest of the country shut down (the show was allowed to go on because it was in a sovereign Native American venue), so his commentary covers our current Corona-induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over The-Orange-One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Lewis Black doesn’t take political sides; whether he’s exposing the wide-spread systemic failures of both parties, or pin-pointing the micro-stupidities within pop culture, commensurate rage is jettisoned in favor of deploying an overwhelming force of comic condemnation, punctuated by his ever-present arsenal of F-Bombs.

    Except this, Fox News with two different Presidents:

    'Siding with terrorism.'
    Trump goes to Saudi Arabia;
    'Groundbreaking and historic.'
    This actually happened.

      Thanks for the heads-up. I have a neuro condition and my mom, who means well, but buys any sales pitch she hears keeps trying to get me to take prevagen. I wouldn't because as I try to tell her, these supplements are unregulated by the FDA and are just modern day snake oil.

    Yup - it's the talking heads. Editorial pieces are OK if that's your thing, I guess,, but they aren't news. By definition, they are opinion pieces. They even call them that. But the 24 hr news cycle has to fill the time between Prevagen ads with something, so it's 30 seconds of actual news and 3 hours of opinionated twits passing stupid theories and opinions. I don't watch any news except the occasional BBC feed if something big happened. (Russia invading Ukraine for example). Even then, once the story is told I switch off - I don't someone telling what to think about the news.

    I spend 7+ hours a day behind the wheel as a Medical Courier, Monday through Friday, and I listen to left wing, right wing and independent [read "Libertarian" usually] news and podcasts. It's not suprising to see what parts of the individual stories get edited out based on their political slant. It has made me a more aware voter and citizen of the USA.
    The truth of the matter is this, in my opinion; Sometimes the right is more honest, sometimes the left, but the libertarians are just laughing it up 100% of the time. And they are correct; we are idiots.

    Thats why most of the times, if they have not really excellent novel guests but just the usual payed talking heads, i stop watching after the first 2 minutes when they showed the news and the opinion bullshit starts. When you have watched their usual crew for a while you should be able to guess what they would say anyways as most of them are rather unimaginativ in their opinions anyways.
