Show Notes
I happened to come across Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of “The Young Turks” discussing my appearance this week on the Piers Morgan show, and predictably, they wasted no time rattling off a slew bogus assertions, one after the next, with such sublime and unshakeable confidence. As is so often the case, the pair have just unthinkably absorbed this whole weird Epstein mythos — the actual evidentiary basis for which they’ve clearly never bothered to check. Instead, they just instinctively assume every little mythological datapoint to be true. Most of which is probably derived from social media or Netflix.
So I figured what the heck, I’ll produce my own dumb little commentary video cataloguing their various errors and misapprehensions. There’s not much surprising here; Cenk and Ana’s factual follies are thoroughly typical — almost banally so. I could spend 24/7 correcting bogus Epstein coverage across the political and media spectrum, and never even get through 1% of it. But at least this particular example happens to be pegged to me, Michael Tracey, so I thought hey, why not give it a whirl.
