The Lie-Able Sources Podcast: Press Pratt-Falls, NFL Catcalls, and Shirley They Aren't Serious

Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey. 

The press is coming out in a growing force of opposition to Spencer Pratt and his bid for the mayor’s office in Los Angeles. As viral campaign videos are turning viral, and as more Hollywood influence money continues to pour in for his bid, the press - both in the entertainment realm, and elsewhere - are increasingly turning up the pressure against the upstart candidate.

What is revealing in all of this is that while he is certainly ripe for media inspection, there is next to zero interest being paid to the incumbent Karen Bass, or the other candidate, Nithya Raman. You will see plenty of coverage about how Pratt is not a current resident (due to his home being reduced to a pile of Kingsford briquettes), has no experience, and the press looking into his past, Ms. Bass in particular receives little such analysis. 

Also of note is how all of these media standards applied to Pratt - in hopes of displaying his lack of discernible skills for the position - do not get applied to another candidate with a vacant resume—Graham Platner. Interestingly, all of those disqualifying traits supposedly invalidating Pratt do not apply, even as Der Oysterfuhrer is running for a higher federal office (U.S. Senate) in Maine.

We also look at the latest developments with Nick Shirley, as many of the locations that he featured in his video expose in Minneapolis are facing federal fraud charges. This looks especially bad for many major news outlets, as they strove to discredit Shirley, and ignore the main story. As a result, they look twice as inept in the process.

Then we close with some notable sports stories: In one that broke about the NFL regarding a player with questionable actions, it's getting a mere fraction of the interest given to the next item of minor drama.

Here, Jaxson Dart, the QB for the NY Giants, introduced President Trump at an event. This is said to be a grave controversy. Some have compared it to the Colin Kaepernick episode, but many, very different qualities set those two examples well apart. 

Now, crack one open and savor some outmoded media malpractice and misinformation.
