"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.

The Man Who Would Be Commander In Chief (UPDATED)

Priorities USA Action has this 30- second ad up with some typically inane comments from neo- fascist ninny and would- be Man on a White Horse Donald "Rump" Trump.  (He'll be trying to look "presidential" tonight at a "Commander in Chief Forum" in New York City, with Hillary Clinton appearing separately):



A puddle of water is deeper and contains more intelligent life than this sh*tgibbon.

UPDATE:  The abysmal performance of NBC's Matt Lauer in the "Commander in Chief Forum" is being panned all over.  But, as Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog wisely says, it shouldn't distract us from the reality of how awful neo- fascist bullshitter Donald "Rump" Trump was in his "Commander in Chief" audition.

UPDATE II:  Though we agree with Steve M., we have to share this snippet from Jonathan Chait's take:

Lauer’s attempt to press Trump was the completely ineffectual technique of asking repeatedly if he is ready to serve as commander-in-chief. Lauer probably believes the answer is no, but nothing about this question would drive home Trump’s extraordinary lack of knowledge. Instead it allowed him to performatively demonstrate his confident, alpha-male reality-show character as a prospective chief executive. 

Both of these beliefs stun and appall foreign-policy experts in both parties, as readers of the Washington Post or the New York Times know. But the average undecided voter isn’t reading those newspapers. The average undecided voter is getting snippets of news from television personalities like Lauer, who are failing to convey the fact that the election pits a normal politician with normal political failings against an ignorant, bigoted, pathologically dishonest authoritarian.
