NewsBusters Podcast: Rutgers Racism and the Farce of ‘Fact Checking’ with Brad Slager

We begin the NewsBusters podcast with a viral video taken from the MRCTV account. It’s an edit of an interview Rutgers professor Brittney Cooper gave to The Root, a website whose motto is “The Blacker the Content, the Sweeter the Truth.” Apparently, the truth is that white people are villainous and should be removed from Earth: 

But most of today’s show is an interview with Brad Slager of RedState and Townhall about his recent pieces on the “fact checkers,” or as Brad also calls them, the “truth mavens” and the “viscounts of verite.” 

President Biden’s latest punctiliously pre-screened and watered-down  “town hall” on CNN was an opportunity for “independent” fact checkers to evaluate Biden. But Brad found a lot of defending Biden, on how his hand gestures weren’t racist and how any mention of his failure to visit the border might be missing context – in 2008, he once rode in a limo near the border. As if that means the border crisis isn’t a real issue.

You can listen to this podcast (complete with a soothing Zima finish), wherever you like podcasts.
