00:00Now, President Joe Biden managed to tear himself away from the beach for a few hours and he
00:05was asked about the media-created scandal about Donald Trump posing for photos and filming
00:11with Gold Star families at Arlington National Cemetery.
00:15This was his barely coherent response.
00:19What do you think of President Trump's behavior at Arlington Cemetery with the visit to the fallen soldiers?
00:26I don't want to answer that. I might tell you what I think.
00:29Did you watch the Vice President's interview on CNN?
00:32He said, I don't want to answer because I might tell you what I think.
00:36That's what he said. The nerve of this man.
00:39This is the puppet president who has abandoned these Gold Star families, who lost their loved ones,
00:45his botched withdrawal of Afghanistan. Trump has been there for them since the start.
00:50He's the only one who showed up at Arlington National Cemetery to mark the three-year anniversary of their deaths.
00:56In the volatile world of modern media, where truth often seems to be a casualty of partisan warfare,
01:03one voice cuts through the noise with razor-sharp clarity.
01:07Rita Panahi, known for her incisive commentary and unapologetic style,
01:12has become a beacon for those seeking to navigate the murky waters of political discourse.
01:17Her critiques spare no one, left or right, as she fearlessly calls out what she perceives as hypocrisy,
01:23incompetence, and bias in the media landscape.
01:27Our journey into Panahi's world begins with a stark indictment of the current state of mainstream media.
01:32Her words serve as a rallying cry for those who feel disillusioned with the Fourth Estate.
01:37But first, when Donald Trump called the media the enemy of the people, I never imagined
01:43the bulk of the mainstream media would work tirelessly to live up to that tag.
01:48But here we are, and from the fine people hoax, to the Russian collusion hoax,
01:53to the Karmala is a great and visionary leader delusion,
01:57the gaslighting and deliberate disinfo has been turned up to thermonuclear levels.
02:04These words set the stage for a deep dive into the world of media bias and political shenanigans.
02:10Panahi doesn't pull punches, taking aim at what she sees as a systemic problem in how news is reported and consumed.
02:17Her critiques often focus on what she perceives as the left's more egregious offenses,
02:22but her sharp eye misses nothing, regardless of political affiliation.
02:27One of Panahi's recurring themes is the apparent disconnect between some politicians
02:32and the real issues facing everyday people.
02:34She often highlights moments that she believes demonstrate this gulf,
02:38as seen in this clip featuring Vice President Kamala Harris.
02:42So you know how those lids are, because this is, I'm just going to speak, okay, so this is it.
02:47So you know how those lids on those Starbucks cups, they're white, right?
02:51And so if you wear lipstick, they get all over the lid.
02:55And so then I find myself in meetings if I'm the only woman,
02:59and that's kind of, and so I keep taking the lid off and having my cup out
03:02so that I don't have that big lipstick mark on the lid.
03:06So I said, can we do something about the color of the lid?
03:16So that was that conversation.
03:20It's almost impossible to parody that,
03:24but thank God we have Esty Pouty, because she's done just that.
03:31That's what I do.
03:33So you all know how they have those, you know, white cups, white lids in Starbucks,
03:39and you know, I'm just, I'm going to speak, I'm going to say it, right?
03:45So you know, they have those lids, and you know, if you're the only woman and you're wearing lipstick,
03:54I'm in that meeting and I got to put the cup down, got to take off the lid, I got to drink it.
03:59It's a whole big thing.
04:01And you know, so you know what I said?
04:03I said, can we do something about the color of this lid?
04:15Can we do something?
04:17Panahi's commentary on this moment is scathing,
04:20suggesting that such trivial concerns from high-ranking officials
04:23are indicative of a larger problem in political leadership.
04:27She argues that while real issues like border security,
04:30inflation, and international conflicts demand attention,
04:34some politicians seem more concerned with the color of coffee cup lids.
04:39But it's not just politicians who find themselves in Panahi's crosshairs.
04:43She regularly takes aim at what she sees as the echo chamber of mainstream media,
04:49particularly when it comes to coverage of conservative figures.
04:53A prime example of this is her critique of the media's treatment of Donald Trump.
04:57Let's start with MSNBC.
05:00I was sickened by the prop that was Mr. Comparator.
05:08Exactly. Comparatory, yeah.
05:11Comparatory. I was sickened by them using him as a prop, his firefighter jacket,
05:16and then they spelled the man's name wrong.
05:18And so he said, oh, we're so grateful that the fire department sent this to us.
05:21These are local dang-gone dollars, okay?
05:23This is not, you know, Chicago Fire.
05:25It ain't no bad thing about the company.
05:27They all got their names on the back of the jacket.
05:28It's like, who are you fooling?
05:29But then they put the name on it and they spelled it wrong.
05:31I was just kind of like, if we're going to do props,
05:34like, let's at least get it right.
05:36I'm trying to organize that chaos in my mind.
05:39Just gross. Gross.
05:41The truth is, it wasn't a prop.
05:44It was Corey's real uniform,
05:46and the moron activists in the media who ran with that angle
05:49would have known that if they did even five seconds of research.
05:53This exchange highlights what Panahi sees as a fundamental problem in modern journalism,
05:58the rush to judgment and the prioritization of narrative over facts.
06:03She argues that this kind of reporting does a disservice
06:06not just to the subject of the story, but to the public at large,
06:10who rely on the media for accurate information.
06:13Panahi's critiques aren't limited to American politics and media.
06:17She also takes aim at what she perceives as misguided activism closer to home,
06:22particularly when it comes to climate change protests.
06:26Now let's go to some local lefties losing,
06:29and here are the climate cultists who think they are saving the world,
06:33one blockade, one foolish protest at a time,
06:36and they've also started singing.
06:40One more.
06:41Stop!
06:42In the name of life, before we break apart.
06:47Stop!
06:48In the name of life, this could be our last chance.
06:54Before it's over, this crap is killing us.
06:58Toss it over, this coal is killing us.
07:02Stop!
07:03Woo!
07:04Wow. Wow.
07:06Panahi's disdain for what she sees as performative activism
07:10is palpable in her commentary.
07:12She argues that these kinds of protests often do more harm than good,
07:16alienating potential allies and oversimplifying complex issues.
07:20Her critique extends beyond the protesters themselves
07:24to the media coverage of such events,
07:26which she often sees as overly sympathetic and lacking in critical analysis.
07:31But perhaps the most damning critique Panahi offers
07:34is reserved for what she perceives as the media's double standards,
07:38especially when it comes to covering different political figures.
07:41She highlights what she sees as blatant hypocrisy in reporting,
07:45particularly in the treatment of similar policies
07:47proposed by different politicians.
07:49Here is CBS when Trump announced that policy.
07:53They said the policy would cost the government $250 billion over 10 years,
07:58according to our non-partisan watch group.
08:01But this is how CBS reported that same policy
08:04after Kamala announced it as her own.
08:07Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position
08:11saying she'll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
08:17Can you spot the subtle difference there?
08:20Yes, it's one thing to express opinions on opinion programs like this,
08:25but there is something rotten in the media
08:28when so-called journalists who are supposed to present the news
08:31and only the news, stripped of their own personal views and biases,
08:36indulge in the type of Orwellian gaslighting and lies we've just seen.
08:42It's no wonder that trust in the media has plummeted to new lows.
08:47This comparison lays bare what Panahi sees as a clear bias in media reporting,
08:52treating the same policy differently based on who proposes it.
08:56She argues that this kind of selective reporting
08:58undermines the credibility of the media as a whole
09:01and contributes to the growing distrust of journalists among the public.
09:05Panahi's critiques aren't limited to serious political discourse.
09:09She also takes aim at what she sees as the absurdity
09:12of some contemporary social movements, as evidenced by this clip.
09:18Show your pride with the slags, everybody.
09:22Here we go.
09:23Red like orange, healing yellow is sunlight.
09:26Green, nature blue, purple is spirit.
09:29Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people.
09:33And black and brown represent the queer and trans people of colour.
09:39The queer and trans people of colour.
09:42I can just imagine the bewildered toddlers watching that.
09:46Panahi's commentary on such moments is often laced with sarcasm,
09:51highlighting what she sees as the increasingly convoluted nature of identity politics.
09:56She argues that this focus on increasingly specific identity markers
10:00serves to divide rather than unite,
10:02creating an environment where meaningful dialogue becomes increasingly difficult.
10:07As our journey through Panahi's world of media critique nears its end,
10:11we're left with a sobering reflection on the state of political discourse
10:15and media responsibility.
10:17Her final words serve as both a warning and a call to action.
10:21It's no wonder that trust in the media has plummeted to new lows.
10:26In a media landscape dominated by bias and sensationalism,
10:30Rita Panahi's voice cuts through the noise,
10:33challenging viewers to question the narratives they're fed.
10:36Her fearless critiques remind us of the crucial need
10:39for critical thinking in our media consumption.
10:42As we navigate the choppy waters of modern political discourse,
10:46Panahi's work urges us to approach news sources with healthy skepticism.
10:51The question remains, can we return to balanced, factual reporting,
10:55or are we destined for a future of partisan lenses?
10:59Ultimately, it's up to us, the viewers and readers,
11:02to demand better and hold our media outlets accountable.
11:05In a democracy, an informed citizenry isn't just a right, it's a responsibility.
