BuzzFeed's big Trump scoop implodes, the media botcha hit on Christian high school students, and the media try to target me with selective editing.

This show is going to be lit today. This is the Ben Shapiro show.

Well, for those who don't know, the term lit is something that the kids say these days.

It means that things are going to get hot. I'm a little angry, a little angry over this weekend. I have a few words to say about the media's awfulness, about their general inability to do anything remotely approaching telling the truth. I can't wait to get started. But you can, because first we have to talk about how you invest. So the fact is, there's a great article that just came out in the LA Times about market volatility, driving investors back to traditional havens, things like gold and bond. Maybe it's time for you

to diversify. Maybe you should be looking at diversifying your savings plan. And the people you

And the media are terrible at their damn jobs. I mean, terrible at their jobs. Because it turns out that many of them are not interested in being honest. Now, this is not every member of the media. There are some members of the media who I am sure are interested in being honest. But for the media, it is all about jumping to conclusions, about creating the clickable piece, about ensuring that they are the first on a story, even if they are dead wrong on the story. And we saw this over and over and over the last 72 hours.

Multiple stories the media put out were outright false. Outright false. At the very least,

in a long time. And it's disgusting.

It's disgusting because let's start with the March for Life, okay? Not with me at the March for Life. We'll get to that. But let's start with the March for Life. Here's what happened in the March for Life. I was there on Friday, and there were hundreds of thousands of people there.
