The Lie-Able Sources Podcast: Baby Guns, a Newspaper Raid Stuns, and Biden Runs (Away)

Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarky.

For starters, Rachel Maddow has had a rather poor month of August. Having on Hillary Clinton will always appeal to her core fan base but it will also be sure to deliver some risible content — especially when discussing election denialism and threats to democracy. But even before this, Maddow has a segment that needs to be heard to be believed; she claims a gun maker is marketing weapons for babies and toddlers. Oh yes, she was completely serious.

Next, there is the struggle in the press to cover Joe Biden as he basically ignores the tragedy in Hawaii, refusing to even mention the plight in between his vacations. Then in some recent speech, he delivered enough content to keep the fact-checkers busy for the week — except, just like Biden, they have taken the week off. And then we look into the disturbing story of a small Kansas newspaper that was raided by local police in a third-world-country-style suppression of the press.

Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.
