This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

I haven't put this out there before anybody just loses their ass.

But the headlines is Haley Welch, also known as Hock Tool Girl, to join the White House press team as Carolyn Levitt's assistant.

Crack!

Not true.

But it's on Twitter.

Yeah.

But you know what's weird about that, Todd? That sounds like it could be true. Right. That's why. Because they hire a bunch of dumb asses and she's one of them. So that totally sounds like it could be true. That's obviously. Disappointed. It's not true. I haven't seen that. This is why I'm kind of disappointed. not true. So bad. Let's just lean in. For the guys of the onion,

because this show

should be something the onion should be able to do. That's a great onion headline. And now they can't because, you know, if somebody beat them to it. Yeah, the onion is great. I see onion headlines and obviously you'll see the banner. but if you just read it without the banner, you'll go, huh, ha, because they don't know how to top it themselves anymore. Sartire today is hard. It's real hard, man. The guys of the onion are sitting around going, are you kidding me? The onions still doing a great job. Oh, they do. They still kick ass. And they have a headline on their front page right now. Agriculture Secretary demands U.S. farmers invent five new melons by Friday. Yeah. Alan Dershowitz, Sue's Farmers Market vendor for refusing to sell him child. I like that one because he's a doucheback too. That's funny. Yeah. No, they're still kicking ass. Oh, get me wrong. But Todd's totally right about that. You can't tell sometimes. I also went after somebody on Facebook this morning, and I usually don't because she posted something. She said something with some governor's saying. Okay. And she didn't verify anything. Somebody asked, what do you know about this source? Nothing. And then I said, well, why post it? And then she replies, do you want me to do the free labor? Do it yourself? And then I say, yeah, yeah, I do. Be a responsible social media reporter. Fact check and verify. And then somebody else jumps in and says, you're the one who posted it. It's your responsibility to make sure you're posting accurate information before you post it. Nobody does that anymore. 100%. Nobody cares. Nobody gives a rats out. But if it's on Twitter, if it's a screenshot of a tweet, then it must be true. Then all I have to do is hit retweet or share it.

That's right on Facebook, wasn't it, Todd?

Can you teach a class mark in critical thinking?

Can people be taught that?

I try.

You look at this stuff, but because of the nature of today's media, you should maybe go

somewhere where you find something believable or find it on multiple sources

and then go ahead and post it because it's been checked by others well this is a problem with

AI right i mean i'm i'm an i'm an i fan but this is the problem with having it report the

quote news because it can't discern between what's you know real and what's fiction and well and

but that's an interesting take from someone i've never never heard that before. I can post whatever I want. It's up to you to check and make sure if it's real. She was caught. She was caught and she was just, but. No, no, no. I think that attitude is very prevalent. Yeah. That's, I'm going to talk about that in class for sure. What it is is the new sitting around hearing somebody saying something out loud. It's the same thing except it's less people before you see it. Right. Yeah. Did you hear? And you go, in those situations, you just kind of walk away. Oh, okay. Now I'm going to walk away from that one. Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, but the scale is much larger. Oh, it's huge. It's huge, right. But the problem is, too, the platform, like you talked about like this, and this is a fake story, but about the press aid, you look very credible when you're standing there in that arena, you know, in the white briefing room with the seal behind you and the podium.
