I hear it constantly.  I don’t trust the media.

I’ve heard it from my own mother.  I don’t trust the media.

I’m like.  Mom.  You know who you’re talking to …right?

And she says “not you…” but on this media they say that media is lying.”

So in a world where you have facts… and you have alternate facts.

For instance… in Seattle… you’re hearing about this occupied zone… where protestors have thrown out the police.  There are news reports of mayhem.  Shakedowns.  Wholesale violence.  Border Checkpoints. Our friend from ABC… Alex Stone flew there over the weekend.  Here’s what he found.

That’s from a guy who’s there.  Chances are you’re hearing otherwise from men and women in their vacation homes.

Sean Hannity is on the North Shore of Long Island doing his show from home.  Tucker Carlson hosting his show on Fox from his homes in Florida and Maine.  On MSNBC… Rachel Maddow is in Western Massachusetts. 

All of them are careful to avoid showing their wealth in the background …when their on the air.

The head of CNN … Jeff Zucker… is in the Hamptons where a pandemic means… you have to wheel your own golf cart. No caddies.

Mom… a rule of thumb.  Trust the people who are there.  Sometimes the folks at their vacation homes… are out to lunch. So to speak
