That has changed in our current media environment.

And as I've been saying lately to folks on my show, when 60 Minutes is in trouble, we're all in trouble.

And when Barry Weiss is spiking a segment on Seacott,

and the gulag that they're running down there in El Salvador, a torture prison, basically, that the US is basically in business with, that's a big story.

That's a big problem.

And when she can spike a story like that, because they're now owned by the Ellisons, which are MAGA friendly, that's a massive problem for this country.

And I've been describing it this way.

I think we have a system of state compromised media in this country.

We do not have a free press the way that we did a couple of years ago.

If we have major corporations that are in charge of our media outlets that are under the thumb of the current administration, then you really don't have freedom of the press.

You have corporations running media companies that are subject to the whims of a Mad King president.

And that is a huge problem for all of us.

Just the other day, the anchor of the CBS Evening News ended his newscast by saying, we salute you, Marco Rubio.

I mean, not only was Walter Cronkite spinning in his grave, I was hoping he would come back from the great beyond to choke the living shit out of him.

And say, what the fuck are you doing?

Also, get the fuck out of here.

We all love America.

That's why we're doing this.

The reason why I do my job and I like doing my job is I love this country.

I fucking love this country.
