0:00	·	the moment that you give me a specific
0:02	·	example, an actual example. I'll give
0:04	·	you just wait.
0:06	·	I think it's worth showing you this.
0:07	·	It's about 35 seconds or so. We've seen
0:09	·	it before, but it's a compilation of all
0:10	·	of or not all of because that would take
0:12	·	us literally all day. Uh many of the
0:15	·	people who lied us into all of this
0:17	·	nonsense so that someone like Piers
0:19	·	Morgan would have tweeted what he
0:21	·	tweeted and now have to apologize for
0:24	·	it. And then uh during 2021, we should
0:28	·	be able to manufacture a lot of vaccines
0:30	·	and and that vaccine a key goal is to
0:33	·	stop the transmission. Get vaccinated.
0:36	·	It's not only good for you and your
0:38	·	family and your community, it will have
0:41	·	a very important impact on the dynamics
0:44	·	of the outbreak in our country.
0:46	·	Now, we know that the vaccines work well
0:48	·	enough that the virus stops with every
0:52	·	vaccinated person. A vaccinated person
0:55	·	gets exposed to the virus,
0:58	·	the virus does not infect them. The
1:00	·	virus cannot then use that person to go
1:02	·	anywhere else. It cannot use a
1:05	·	vaccinated person as a host to go get
1:07	·	more people. The vaccines will get us to
1:10	·	the end of this. I really want to give
1:12	·	Piers some credit here, and it's not
1:14	·	just because I had him in here a couple
1:15	·	days ago, and I enjoyed a conversation
1:17	·	where we really did have some push and
1:18	·	pull. Again, you'll see that on
1:19	·	Saturday. um why is it that he's able to
1:23	·	to apologize for what he did and said
1:26	·	during that crazy time? What is it about
1:28	·	him as a human being that allows him to
1:30	·	do that while none of those people have
1:32	·	apologized? Did Rachel Matto ever
1:34	·	apologize for what she said right there?
1:35	·	which again was which as I always say
1:37	·	was either the most generous version you
1:39	·	could say is that she had no idea what
1:41	·	she was talking about and she was just
1:42	·	reading a script or she but but that's
1:44	·	probably not exactly true or she was a
1:46	·	liar or it was because it was serving
1:48	·	her interests or serving her corporate
1:50	·	masters for 20 million bucks a year. A
1:52	·	lot of people would say an awful lot of
1:53	·	crazy stuff but what it gets to is that
1:55	·	there is that mainstream media airlock
1:58	·	that every now and again gets busted
2:00	·	through. So I I love showing you this
2:02	·	clip. It's probably been a couple months
2:04	·	since we showed it to you last time, but
2:05	·	I think this is one of the best clips
2:07	·	from Real Time with Bill Maher in the
2:08	·	last like five years. This is Russell
2:10	·	Brand on the nonsense over at MSNBC.
2:13	·	It's
2:14	·	disingenuous to claim that the biases
2:16	·	that are exhibited on Fox News are any
2:18	·	different from the biases exhibited on
2:19	·	MSNBC. It's difficult to suggest that
2:22	·	these corporations operate as anything
2:24	·	other than mouthpieces for their
2:26	·	affiliate owners in Black Rock and
2:29	·	Vanguard and and unless we start to
2:31	·	embrace and and also mate like just
2:34	·	spiritually, if I may use that word in
2:36	·	your great country, we have to take
2:38	·	responsibility for our own perspectives.
2:41	·	I've been on that MSNBC, mate. It was
2:43	·	propagandist nut crackery on I went on a
2:47	·	show called Morning Joe. It was absurd
2:49	·	the way they carried on.
2:50	·	Morning Joe.
2:51	·	Yeah. I don't know what it was. It
2:52	·	wasn't morning. There was no one called
2:53	·	Joe there. No one could concentrate.
2:55	·	They didn't understand the basic tenets
2:56	·	of journalism. No one was willing to
2:59	·	stick up for genuine American heroes
3:02	·	like Edward Snowden. No one was willing
3:04	·	to talk about Julian Assange and what he
3:06	·	suffered trying to bring real journalism
3:08	·	to the American people. And I think to
3:12	·	sit within the castle of MSNBC throwing
3:15	·	rocks, have Fox News is ludicrous. Make
3:18	·	MSNBC better. Make MSNBC again.
3:22	·	My friend, I would love I would the
3:24	·	moment the quiet territory, you can win
3:26	·	on Russell. Russell, darling. Um, the
3:30	·	moment that you give me a specific
3:32	·	example, an actual example. Okay, I'll
3:34	·	give you just wait. Wait, wait, wait.
3:36	·	It's not about bias. It's a false
3:37	·	promising because you don't actually
3:38	·	know anything about any of these
3:40	·	organizations you're talking about. Even
3:41	·	on MSNBC once big deal,
3:43	·	my darling, it was more than enough.
3:44	·	You can't such a single you have a
3:47	·	single actual fact.
3:48	·	Do you want an example? Do you want an
3:50	·	example? The ludicrous, outrageous
3:53	·	criticisms of Joe Rogan around
3:55	·	ivormectin
3:57	·	deliberately referring to as a horse
3:58	·	medicine when they know it's an
4:00	·	effective medicine.
4:03	·	Madowl turning up on the TV saying, "If
4:05	·	you take this vaccine, you're not going
4:07	·	to get it." When it hadn't been
4:08	·	clinically trled for transmission, you
4:10	·	have to listen. Do you think you could
4:12	·	improve America by determinately and
4:15	·	avowedly condemning Fox News without
4:18	·	acknowledging that you're participating
4:19	·	in the same game? Did you not just
4:21	·	listen to Bernie Sanders? Someone who
4:23	·	plainly legitimately believes in this
4:26	·	country and believes it's possible to
4:27	·	change, but is bound by corruption, is
4:30	·	bound by the lobbying system.
4:32	·	Meanwhile, that guy, John Hollerman,
4:33	·	that we played that clip a couple times,
4:34	·	he blocked me on Twitter. What can you
4:36	·	do?

[Texas Eagle]

What an a$$hole. He challenges Brand to give an example of PMSNBC bias and then won’t let Brand talk. All he can say is, “Non-responsive. Non-responsive. Non-responsive.” What does that even mean?

[ansel12]

We go to these videos thinking we are going to see Russell Brand or whatever the title says, but it always turns out to be some talking head with a tiny clip the talking head is talking about.

[FreedomPoster]

Thanks, based on the top two comments, I’ll pass.

And I generally like Russel Brand, he’s an interesting dude. Got red pilled during Covid methinks. I haven’t seen him on X lately, wonder if he’s getting shadow banned. Will have to take a look at his feed.

[SunkenCiv]

It means he is what you just said. The proper response to such Demagogic Party media shills is to have some early morning trash pickup guy notice what's left of his ass in a dumpster. Figuratively of course.

[SunkenCiv]

Wow, and you keep going back?

[SunkenCiv]

Here’s the link to the full Bill Maher episode, for those who actually want to see it:

[ansel12]

Going back to what, random fake thread headlines from various posters?

Why don’t you improve rather than be a smart ass?

[dznutz]

It is aggravating watching a video based on a title only to find out most of the video is some unknown guy commenting and it contains a little blurb of the actual person referred to in the title.

[Texas Eagle]

Thanks for the link. Russell Brand is quick-witted and hilarious.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure. Standup comedians are adept at handling hecklers.

[Dan Zachary]

Russell’s take on this... https://youtu.be/0A0dOUC149M?si=MJFH1j3WleIEzYE3

[Texas Eagle]

Idiot Sanders doesn't know the difference between equity and equality.

And that question about Unions was pre-planned. Please.

[Rural_Michigan]

Russell Brand is a hero. Walking example of someone who was walking in the shadows and saw the light.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks!

[SunkenCiv]

Well put!

[Berosus]

If Maher or anyone else wants an example of [P]MSNBC bias, just point to the time when they interviewed Niger Innis, a black Republican, and when his face appeared on TV screens, a subtitle spelled his first name with two Gs.
