Summary

If you want to see how backwards this country has become from a media perspective, look no further than the Trevor Bauer story. Bauer was suspended by MLB back in 2021 after being accused of sexual assault. This week Bauer released a video showing very clearly that he was framed by his accuser. On Wednesday MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was on ESPN's First Take and Stephen A Smith didn't even ask Manfred a question about the Bauer story. Awful! Learn more about your ad choices.

1:18.0	In other words, that Trevor Bauer was indeed innocent and that this particular individual was out to frame power
