"Calling A Liar A Liar Isn't An Opinion If You Can Prove It" (UPDATED)


We've got three great clips from Samantha Bee's return to "Full Frontal" for you -- the first one covers recent topics like OMG HILLARY'S HEALTH!, the sad third party candidates, and "George Wallace in a wig" and his "basket of deplorables:"



In the next clip, she recaps last week's "Commander in Chief Forum," hosted by the ludicrously unqualified, Matt Lauer:



In the final clip, she lays wood to our cowering media who won't do their f*cking jobs in calling out the historically mendacious campaign of neo- fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump:



It says something when comedians (like Bee, John Oliver, Steven Colbert, Seth Meyers, etc.) have more insight and guts than those who are supposed to be dedicated to reporting facts.  Actually, Bee put it best when she said in the last clip:
"Calling a liar a liar isn't an opinion if you can prove it.  That's what we call a fact."
We think she proved, in these short clips, that the media by and large is failing the American people in its coverage of this election.  That's a fact.

UPDATE:  Brian Beutler has a really interesting article about why the media is "botching the election" with its false equivalence treatment of Clinton and Rump.  Good reading.
