It’s indictment season, which means Trump is the only thing liberal-corporate-media is talking about (of course not the fact that Biden is ending Medicaid for millions of Americans). But as stuffed as MSNBC and CNN are with wall-to-wall Trump news, the cracks in the story are beginning to leak.

The seven-year old story of document fraud and hush money is so boring, uninteresting, and irrelevant to Americans who are facing real problems (like Biden ending Medicaid for millions of Americans) that even the Trump-crazed media pundits like Tapper, Todd, and Maddow can’t seem to get it up for the story.

They pretend to be solemn for the tarnishing of the office of president, but when hush money is the first indictment for an office that breathes war crimes, regime changes, and drone strikes, the details of the case put even the tinniest-hatters to sleep. (But not bored enough, apparently, to give any attention to Biden ending Medicaid for millions of Americans).

Plus, Marco Rubio accidentally gives the best argument for ending US-dollar supremacy, and oh boy, does Matt Walsh have a hot take for you: turns out, slavery was actually a good thing. Without it, we wouldn’t have Matt Walsh.

There’s so much BS in the media this week, which means Katie and Aaron have a lot to throw down on. It’s our Thursday bonus episode. Let us know in the comments what corporate media monologues, interviews, or anything else you want to see on the next Thursday Throwdown.
