Jimmy Dore and Trish Wood Talk Politics, Media, and Free Speech
We used to value questioning authority right and doing your own thing. If you don't think for yourself, you're smart. Anywhere, anything I look at, whether it be war policy, whether it be russiagate, whether it be the covid policy, whether it be vaccines, no matter where I thought shine a light, I see that they're fucking lying in conjunction in concert with the media, is lying with big corporations, with big pharma and the government, and they're lying to you, and it doesn't take, it's not hard to see.
