Summary
In this extra special episode we go over ex NYT executive editor Jill Abramson’s terrible book, “Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts.” I only read the parts that were about Vice when I was there and I counted TWENTY, yes TWENTY major factual errors.

| 0:59.4 | Like Ilhan Omar, she said Obama's just a pretty face that got lucky. |
| 1:07.0 | Obama pretty face. |
| 1:09.2 | And I looked up the quote and she never said that. |
| 1:14.8 | It's two separate things they're conflating. |
