What's this?

I'm not saying this guy is right or wrong

The only thing I listen to on NPR is the Tiny Desk concerts.

That said, it is funny that Berliner is TOTALLY not a Trumpist, but touches on every single Trumpist boogeyman like he's marking off a bingo card. And every media outlet in this country has "lost trust" in the last decade. That's because there's a full-blown war against objective truth (from both "sides," although the right has certainly fought much harder) and objective truth is losing badly.
