1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Seven o'clock seven twenty Actually, as you know, every Wednesday, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: you know what that means, Truth or Troll. Take it 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: away a mic. 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: And now America's favorite game show where you get to 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: decide on the Kooner Report. 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: This is Truth or Tall. 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: Today's entry for truth or Troll comes from former Washington 8 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: Post executive editor Marty Barron, who recently went on PBS 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: to explain why he thinks the Washington Post is going 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: down the tubes. They're being too soft on Trump. 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: Eleven days before the presidential election in twenty twenty four, 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 3: they killed an editorial for that was endorsing Kamala Harris. 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: He said the paper wouldn't endorse ever again for president, 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 3: and hundreds of thousands of subscribers canceled at that time, 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 3: aggravating the financial problems that they had. Subsequent to that, 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 3: did all sorts of things that made things even worse, 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: peering at the inauguration on the stage with Donald Trump 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: buying the Millennia so called documentary for an exorbitant price, 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 3: buying the right Amazon buying the rights to The Apprentice, 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: and Amazon had bought the rights to the Millennia's documentary 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: as well, and then completely changing the opinion pages, so 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: that essentially they have no columnists who are really left 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: of center, and they're very deferential to Trump, and I 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: think they lack a moral a moral core, and so 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 3: all of that has driven subscribers away. 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: It's an interesting way to look at it. All, Right, 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: So what do we think here? Is he just trolling 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: here or is he being just deadly serious? 29 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: Oh? I think that's the sad part, Mike. He's being 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: very deadly serious. This is the woke mind virus at work. Mike. No, Look, 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: you've got the Post which has been hemorrhaging money. They're 32 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: losing a one hundred million dollars a year, and Jeff 33 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Bezos is saying, I'm tired of subsidizing it. Like, guys, 34 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: you got to start making some money. And so they've 35 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: laid off what is it now over three hundred almost 36 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: four hundred journalists. Their sports section, which was garbage anyway, 37 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: is gone. What is it? Their book section gone? That 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: was garbage as well, So you know, no, look, you 39 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: go woke, you go broke. And that's the problem with 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, and frankly with the entire so called 41 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: fake news media establishment media. They were so predictably anti Trump, 42 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: and they you know, it was hoax after hoax. They 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: pushed the Russia collusion hoax. They pushed the Hunter Biden 44 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: laptop a hoax. They were propping up Biden claiming that 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: he was fit, when obviously everybody could see he was senile. 46 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: So after a while, nobody takes you seriously. And that's 47 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: ultimately the problem with the Washington Post. It turned into 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: a Democrat rag And frankly, you know, you want to 49 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: get Democrat talking points, I'd rather go to the New 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: York Times or Politico or watch MS now. At least 51 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: they're more entertaining than these blowhards over at the Washington Post. 52 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: But no, this guy really thinks their problem is they 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: weren't anti Trump enough. I don't know how much more 54 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: anti Trump the Post could have been, Mike, Honestly, the 55 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: only thing they didn't do was call for Trump to 56 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: be killed. I mean they hinted at it. They were 57 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: wink winking it, you know, wink wink. Somebody should take 58 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: them out. I mean, you know, democracy dies in darkness. 59 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: That was their big slogan. So you know, basically, he's Hitler, 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: So they called him Hitler, fascist dictator, authoritarian blah blah 61 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: blah blah. You know they're like, well, we weren't anti 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: Trump enough. Well, okay, I guess what call for him 63 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: to be executed, you know, to be assassinated. I don't 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: know what else to tell you. So here's another moonbat 65 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: who's out of a job. And let me just say this, Mike, 66 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: these are the same lefties at the Washington Post, these 67 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: limousine liberals. Okay, these elitists who were gleeful when the 68 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: economy was shut down under Biden and under Fauci in particular, 69 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: and millions of Americans lost their jobs or they were 70 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: the ones who said the job or your job. So 71 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: when others lost their jobs because everything got closed or 72 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: they didn't want to take the job, the Washington Post 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: was cheering it, laughing, saying, good, they all deserve to 74 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: lose their jobs. Now that these losers lost theirs, they're 75 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: acting like, I don't know what it's like, the equivalent 76 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: to a war crime. And there they are with their little, 77 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, cup in hand. They got to go fundme 78 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: page going, I swear, saying, you know, please please can 79 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: you help give us money so we can you know, 80 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: deal with this, you know, with us being unemployed. By 81 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: the way, they got a lucrative compensation package. They're not 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: going hungry for a long time, believe me, Mike. So 83 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: to answer your question, this loser, I hate to say it, Sadly, 84 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: he's not trolling, he's telling the truth. But that's me 85 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you.
