Welcome to the Eric Mataq to show. You know they say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line. Or at least make it a double even triple line. Now here's your line jumping host. Eric Mataq's.

Hey man, Albin, how you doing? Okay, we get a lot to cover. It's crazy. It's crazy. You ready? Yes. Okay. I hope people are listening intensely and intently. What's the difference between those two words? I don't know not much. Okay.

Basically, we've got a lot to cover. Number one, happy belated Memorial Day weekend. Happy to you as well belatedly.

I had a like a caregiver weekend. Like, like, if you think, Hey, what do you do on Memorial Day weekend? What we draw we drove to our elderly parents to care for them. First in New Jersey. And then we went up to Damburi to see my dad and my mom. My mom's recovering beautifully from the knee replacement.

You know they replaced the knee. This is the good news folks. And thanks for your prayers. They replaced her knee with another knee because they know you never know sometimes these doctors get confused. The next thing you know, you got a problem. So she's recovering marvelously. Praise Jesus. Am I allowed to say that on this program? Praise Jesus. And my dad scheduled for a splin neck to me June 25th. This is what happens. You get older and you start talking about this stuff. Right? Like your parents go there. But that's good news. And I have we have other good news today. For two weeks. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say

I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say that's good news because my bad news is that week. When people 73 hours

and thousands of completely concerns, that's good news to anyone they took a lot of things, they are not going to ask and, but it's not gonna happen.

I open up the New York Times and here night, I'm going to tell you this is a little trick that I'm going to tell people something. Now you're going to learn something.

People who ever read the New York Times, you probably don't know this, but I'm going to tell you right now something that you should never forget.

The New York Times, well before I explain it, if you open the paper today, over the fold, I mean above the fold, they have three headlines.

The third one on the right, all caps, Trump embraces shadowy plots, eroding trust, theories from fringes, agencies undermined by claims of spy gate and deep state.

Okay. All right. But then there's a little thing that says news analysis. Do you know what that means?

Oh, yes. It means that it's not news. It's opinion. It's opinion. But it's this tiny thing. Now most people who read the New York Times, they pick it up. They don't know that, but it's a little like a disclaimer that says this is opinion.

But it's over, it's above the fold on page one. Now what this is like. Yeah, up a right hand corner. This is like if you ever buy American cheese singles like the craft singles, right?

And you think, well, that's American cheese, right? Yeah. Guess what? What? It's not. Hey, it's something called if you read carefully, I'm teaching, I'm a teacher.

It's a teaching. Call me Rebbe. If you pick up any kind of thing that looks like American cheese, okay. Some of it is American cheese, but most of what people buy and throw on their burgers is technically not cheese. It is called cheese food.

Okay. So if you read on the label, it says cheese food, real American cheese will say American cheese, but legally you can't say American cheese. So the craft singles and all that kind of stuff, it's it's cheese food. It's like Velvita or something that's been processed or whatever. And they kind of sell it. And it looks like, hey, it's great. You open it up every slice, whatever, but it's actually not cheese. Right. But most people don't know that, but they've got this claim around there says cheese food, but who reads that who knows what that means? Nobody knows what that means.

So that's like when they have cream filled and it's spelled C R E M E. And then know sometimes we'll all accent over the first E. I don't get the cream filled with for pastries and stuff when you get. So it's not actual cream. Right. Little debbie's and you look and it's not cream. Oh, it's not cream. Okay. So. So so back to the New York time. So when it says news analysis, it is not real cheese. It's fake cheese. But what I'm saying is that I open up the paper today and it says Trump embraces shadowy plots eroding trust theories.

And so I'm saying that from fringes agencies undermined by claims of spygate and deep state. And I have to say I've been following this. Okay. I really, really care about facts. So the fact that the New York Times is trying to pawn this off as crazy stuff. Yeah.

Scary. And in other words, here they are editorializing above the fold on in their paper. Okay. All the news that's fit to print the Hori New York Times and venerable New York Times. And they they're trying to pawn off what seems to me clearly at least substantive. How far it's going to go. We don't know.

But I wanted to say this up front to my listeners that you don't have to agree with me. But I want us to all adhere to the same standard. Okay. That we care about facts. We care about what is true. And you need to know who you're reading. And when the New York Times has in tiny letters, news analysis. Okay. Yeah.

They are in a sense saying this is not news. We know it and we're printing this. But most people don't know it. So they read it and they go Trump embraces shadowy plots. So it's a fact. The New York Times knows that these are conspiracy theories. He's eroding trust by embracing these things and whatever. So it's a wild editorial leap presented.
