0:09.6 | Sarota about the absolutely monumentally horrific situation in East Palestine, Ohio, where |
0:17.6 | they were poisoned by toxic chemicals, casually, and everybody in the government's like, |
0:22.2 | yes, and the media as well also did that. I mean, they're covering it, but it's just not |
0:29.2 | nearly the hair on fire that it deserves. |
0:30.8 | Well, so they are covering it, but there was actually a media matters report that I did |
0:35.1 | a monologue on that you guys could check out about how out of all the television news coverage, |
