Hi, I'm Patrick and I'm a conservative...or, at least, I'm pretending to be. As a lifelong progressive, I have always wondered how things were presented on the other side, and wanted to get a firsthan... more

February 28, 2021 Episode 13 - The Green Big Deal
I examine the bubble's coverage of the Texas freeze, and in particular how Fox and One America attempt to shift the blame. I also reflect on the passing of Rush Limbaugh, mark the milestone of 500,000 deaths from COVID-19, and present Newsmax's take on an interesting new presidential "scandal."

February 17, 2021 Episode 12 - Impeachment 2: Electric Boogaloo
After an announcement concerning the future of the podcast's format, I dive into the bubble's coverage of Trump's second impeachment trial. I also touch on some of the stories Fox News uses to distract their viewers from said trial, including an impassioned defense of antivaxxers and a government-centric religious manifesto by a former Trump official. Finally, I shed some light on some of the wild and hilarious conspiracies espoused by one of Congress' newest members.

January 11, 2021 Episode 11 - A Trial By Combat
After a monthlong break from the bubble, I dive back into a new year and a new season to examine its coverage of the insurrection at the Capitol. I also discuss Trump's Mafia-esque call to Georgia's attorney general to "find" the votes he needed, and go undercover into the rage-filled mess that is Parler to find out what the extreme right is up to - with results both horrifying and hilarious.

November 20, 2020 Episode 10 - I Hear The Sound Of Victory
In my first episode since the election, I recap the bubble's coverage of Election Night and its aftermath, both before and after it was called for Biden. I also examine the New York Post story on the "laptop from hell" and its implications, while finding a nonsensical yet oddly catchy prayer in the the name of Donald Trump's reelection.

October 07, 2020 Episode 9 - Reckless Endearment
On my birthday, I discuss Trump's announcement and subsequent entry and exit from the hospital due to his Covid diagnosis, and how InfoWars and Qanon use it to spread conspiracy. I also recap how the bubble covered the first presidential debate, as well as finding a "motivational" right-wing video inspiring people to give up on their dreams.

September 29, 2020 Episode 8 - The Truck Is A Lie
I tackle the bubble's coverage of the Breonna Taylor verdict and its aftermath, which focuses largely on a particular U-Haul truck. I also discuss how Fox News and Townhall frame the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett and the release of Trump's tax returns, and discover a bizarrely racist example of the extraordinary lengths conservative candidates are willing to go to in order to show their loyalty to Trump.

September 25, 2020 Episode 7 - ...So This Is How Democracy Dies
The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is examined under the lens of how Trump and the GOP might take advantage of it to truly frightening ends. I also recount the bubble's coverage of both the Trump and Biden town halls, and deconstruct even more attempts by the bubble's reporters to bash Biden's use of the teleprompter.

September 15, 2020 Episode 6 - The Woodward Bomb
I return after a two-week hiatus to examine the bubble's coverage of the revelations brought forth by Bob Woodward's interview tapes. The RNC and Trump's embrace of conspiracy theories also get some long-overdue time in the spotlight, as well as how the bubble and QAnon are trying to use a controversial movie to achieve a rather strange political goal.

August 23, 2020 Episode 5 - DNC Coverage Special
I discuss the bubble's coverage (and Fox News in particular) of the Democratic National Convention and its speeches. I also discover a mind-blowing video on InfoWars featuring Alex Jones...singing?

August 16, 2020 Episode 4 - The Authoritarian Playbook
I discuss the bubble's coverage of the announcement of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's running mate, and the joint speech they gave on Day 1 of the official ticket. I also go into how the news on Russia's vaccine and QAnon is portrayed in conservative media with surprising results. Finally, I deconstruct Trump's attempted sabotage of the postal system and how this could be the latest in a long trend towards authoritarianism in America.
