The mainstream media cannot give us actual news in a two-hour broadcast. They have not exposed Republicans and their standard bearer, Donald Trump in the last year. Samantha Bee has a one-half hour show every Monday on TBS which gives more information than all other networks combined.

Of course she is biased towards progressives, but how can any intelligent person not be. The right wing has lied to us for so long, they are now contradicting themselves. Whether it is Sean Hannity praising Donald Trump for the same criticisms he had of Barrack Obama, or the blatant racism of Iowa Representative Steve King, they can no longer hide from the truth.

Samantha Bee not only tells the truth, she does it with humor, and we definitely need a laugh when some of these fools speak.

While the media supports Donald Trump, she destroys him. She does not sugarcoat his speech; she rips it apart. How could anyone not destroy his acceptance speech last Thursday evening. His depiction of a dark America; a nation filled with hatred and fear defines the Republican viewpoint, and their tactics to win elections.

Ms. Bee interviews extremists on the right, and asks the tough questions; all with humor. While mainstream media allows those they question to use “political speak,” she demands direct answers to direct questions.

One-half hour of laughs and facts. Not a single “news” show can do it in hours. Very refreshing.

Kudos, Ms. Bee.
