Jimmy Dore: We gotta stop listening to the media.

"Anyway, we gotta stop listening to the media. All they do is divide us. No matter what the story is, journalists used to come from blue collar backgrounds and they weren't looking to make friends with the elite. They were looking to make the life uncomfortable for the elite. Well now, billionaires along the media like Jeff Bezos and the journalists come from Ivy League institutions and Ivy League schools and they choose them to cover the news because they know they're gonna be class loyal and man are they. No matter what it is they report it in a way that divides the country. It could be climate change, it could be January 6th, it could be Black Lives Matter, or Kyle Rittenhouse. Now I hated Kyle Rittenhouse because the media told me he was a white supremacist who didn't live in that community, he traveled across state lines with guns and he shot three black people. And I hated him and then I watched the trial and it turns out he did live in that community, he was a lifeguard in that community. He didn't travel across state lines with guns, and he didn't shoot three black people, he shot three white people, and I was like, that's different. He shot three white people. That's a pretty remedial white supremacist. I bet he took a lot of shit back at the meeting. Kyle, what are you doing? It was my first day! It was dark! I'm allergic to pedophiles!
So we gotta stop. The media told me that January 6 undermined our democracy. First of all, that's adorable because we don't live in a democracy. We live in an oligarchy. It didn't undermine shit. They told me all those people on January 6th were trying to overthrow the government. Really? A bunch of Second Amendment gun nuts showed up at the Capitol to overthrow the government, and son of a bitch, they forgot their guns. Boy, I bet they were embarrassed. Jake, Jake! Mike, you got the guns? I brought mittens. They weren't trying to overthrow the government. Really? A bunch of guys in pajama bottoms and buffalo helmets stealing a podium? I'm overthrowing the government. They were just pissed off protesters and half of them got let in by the cops who took the fence away and the other half got pushed in by the FBI plants in the crowd and I know it because I saw it on TV. Those cops, what part of the cops swinging the doors wide open taking selfies with the protesters makes you think that it was a setup? They did everything except erect a bouncy house inside the Capitol. And they didn't even know what they were doing when they got in there. They went to Nancy, they were like, what do we do? Let's go to Nancy Pelosi's office and take a shit. That's not a coup, that's a poo."
