This is 710 WOR.

Where the Mark Simone show starts now.

Well, a first snow of the year, not here.

Manhattan wouldn't dare snow here.

It looks very nice out, actually, cloudy, but dry.

But around the tri-state area, you'll see some snow here and there.

And upstate, you know, those crazy people live way up there. I shouldn't say that. We have people listening up there. But if you live in Buffalo, I don't know how the hell you do it with that two feet of snow every two seconds. A lot to get to today. We'll get to Comey and Tish James. We'll get to Matt Lauer. We'll get to the casinos. We'll get to

plenty to talk about today. You're in a very strange era. We've never seen anything like this

before. I've been going on for 10 years. It gets worse and worse and worse. And it all started

with Donald Trump

coming down that escalator and for whatever reason the fake news decided they could just

take the gloves off and really go after him you know the media was always a little slanted you go

back and you watch Dan Rather years ago it was slantedanted. Even our old friend Walter Cronkite,

but slanted meant you'd use a rougher adjective when you were talking about the Republican

than the Democrat. It didn't mean you'd out and out, just run fake news. That started with,

well, actually give Dan Rather credit. It actually started with

Bush. They made up that whole fake thing about him going AWOL and the National Guard wasn't true.

They made up that whole fake Halliburton scandal with Dick Cheney. So that was the real beginning of

real fake news. But it was only done then when they had to do it. You know, once or twice every year they would come out with a fake news story and push it.

Now it's every day.

They've decided in their crazy minds, with their Trump derangement syndrome,

that they're justified in breaking all the rules, throwing away all rules, all standards.
