Did a twenty-something YouTuber just succeed where CNN completely face-planted? In this episode of Barrett & Baxa, we break down how Nick Shirley’s viral investigation into alleged Minnesota daycare fraud triggered a full-blown legacy media meltdown — and why corporate journalism suddenly can’t stop yelling instead of reporting. If you want to understand why trust in mainstream media keeps collapsing, you’re about to get a masterclass. CNN sent a reporter to “debunk” Shirley, but instead delivered a case study in media arrogance, word games (“claims” vs. “says”), and investigative shortcuts that accidentally strengthened his argument. Phones weren’t answered, documents weren’t checked, and viewers were left watching journalists argue like Twitter reply guys with press credentials. This episode dissects how independent creators are replacing traditional news, why fraud isn’t a left-right issue, and how legacy media keeps losing credibility by circling the wagons instead of following the facts. It’s funny, brutal, and painfully revealing — especially if you still think CNN is doing journalism instead of damage control.

You’re about to learn why politicians aren’t afraid of journalists anymore — and why they’re terrified of a 23-year-old with an iPhone.In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down how a one-man YouTube wrecking crew is exposing fraud, embarrassing mainstream media, and putting real pressure on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — without a newsroom, a producer, or even decent grammar.   Once upon a time, corrupt officials feared Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes. Now? Mike Wallace is gone, the legacy media won’t show up, and a hoodie-wearing kid is knocking on locked daycare doors in Minneapolis asking simple questions journalists refuse to ask. With nothing but persistence, viral instincts, and a smartphone, Nick Shirley is uncovering daycare fraud, questionable nonprofits, and government failures — while mainstream reporters watch from a safe distance.   This episode explores the future of journalism, the collapse of legacy media credibility, and why raw, imperfect, independent reporting may be more dangerous to power than any polished network correspondent. Laugh along as Barrett & Baxa explain how journalism lost its spine — and how a YouTuber accidentally picked it up.   Ten Minutes of Truth | EP 79   #Journalism #IndependentMedia #TimWalz #MinnesotaPolitics #MediaBias #CitizenJournalism #YouTubeJournalist #DaycareFraud #LegacyMedia #10MinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa   Tim Walz scandal, Minnesota daycare fraud, independent journalism, citizen journalist exposes fraud, YouTube journalist Minnesota, Nick Shirley investigation, media bias, collapse of journalism, mainstream media failure, political corruption exposed, iPhone journalism, viral investigations, alternative media news

The year is ending, the clutter is coming out, and the insanity isn’t slowing down. In the final Media Schmedia of 2025, Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa empty out their running text thread and take one last victory lap through the dumbest, loudest, and most absurd media moments this week — from politicians who apparently need translators to journalists who can’t handle basic biology.   You’ll hear why a Massachusetts mayor needing a courtroom translator raises real questions, how a local Democrat party leader melted down during a DUI stop, and why a New Jersey “food influencer” with 121 followers thought the entire restaurant industry should know his name. Along the way, Steve and Bob dissect performative media outrage, influencer entitlement, alcohol-fueled public meltdowns, and the ongoing obsession with sexual identity in the workplace.   The episode closes with a brutal takedown of what social media has dubbed “the dumbest journalist alive,” a debate over renaming the Kennedy Center, and a candid reflection on nine months of building Barrett & Baxa from scratch. Laugh, cringe, and learn what to watch for in 2026 — because the media isn’t getting smarter anytime soon.   Episode 78 - Media Schmedia   #paolaramos #MediaShmedia #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaCriticism #JournalismFails #PoliticalComedy #PodcastClips #ViralNews #MediaBias #DEI #CultureWars #EndOfYearPodcast #IndependentMedia #YouTubePodcast   media shmedia, barrett and baxa, dumbest journalist, media bias podcast, political podcast comedy, journalism fails, viral news commentary, mayor needs translator, influencer meltdown, food critic drama, DEI debate, kennedy center controversy, end of year podcast, independent media analysis, Paola Ramos, Jorge Ramos  

We found Patient ZERO - not for COVID - but for Trump Derangement Syndrome.   You’re about to learn how a single daytime talk show meltdown helped launch one of the longest-running political feuds in modern history — and why Rosie O’Donnell still can’t stop thinking about Donald Trump. In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down the 20-year war of words between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump, from The View in 2006 to TikTok “presidential blackouts” that last about as long as a New Year’s resolution.   We trace the feud back to Rosie’s infamous rant over a Miss USA contestant, Trump’s refusal to fire her, and the moment Rosie officially became the OG Trump hater — long before MAGA hats, rallies, or debate stages. Along the way, we unpack Trump’s legendary media instincts, Rosie’s therapy-infused commentary, and the hilarious irony that the person who hates Trump the most may have helped make him president.   This episode also dives into Rosie’s recent flirtation with a Trump “boycott,” why political blackouts never work, and how Trump’s most famous debate line turned a pop-culture feud into a defining political moment. It’s media history, cultural psychology, and comedy — all wrapped into 10 brutally honest minutes that explain why this feud will never end.   Ten Minutes of Truth #77   #RosieODonnell #DonaldTrump #TrumpFeud #TheView #MediaBias #PoliticalComedy #PopCulturePolitics #10MinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa #TrumpDebate #MediaHistory #CelebrityPolitics   Rosie O’Donnell Donald Trump feud, Rosie O’Donnell Trump debate line, The View Trump Rosie, Trump presidential debate Rosie comment, Trump media instincts, celebrity Trump haters, political blackouts TikTok, media bias comedy podcast, Barrett and Baxa, 10 Minutes of Truth podcast

If you want to learn how a seasoned TV anchor dismantles a seasoned politician in real time, this episode is a masterclass in media accountability, political deflection, and live-TV pressure. Watch how NewsNation’s Leland Vittert calmly, methodically, and relentlessly presses Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as she tries — and fails — to hijack the interview and pivot everything back to Donald Trump.   This isn’t just a viral TV moment — it’s a case study in Trump Derangement Syndrome, media dodging, and what happens when a politician can’t answer a direct question without reaching for the Trump ripcord. From awkward pauses to visible irritation, Steve and Bob break down every facial expression, every dodge, and every “what does Trump have to do with Australia?” moment with surgical precision and brutal humor.   You’ll walk away knowing how to spot political spin in real time, why certain politicians can’t quit Trump, and how a confident interviewer can completely flip the power dynamic — all while laughing at one of the most uncomfortable cable news interviews you’ll see this year.   Ten Minutes of Truth #76 #TrumpDerangementSyndrome #MediaBias #DebbieWassermanSchultz #LelandVittert #CableNews #PoliticalInterviews #MediaAccountability #NewsNation #BarrettAndBaxa #MustSeeTV Trump Derangement Syndrome, Debbie Wasserman Schultz interview, Leland Vittert NewsNation, cable news takedown, political media bias, viral news interview, Democrats and Trump, Islamophobia vs antisemitism, media accountability, embarrassing political interviews, TV news analysis

You’re about to learn why two of America’s most famous Navy SEALs are publicly sniping at each other — and why this fight says a lot about modern politics, podcast fame, and conservative culture wars. In this episode of Barrett & Baxa, Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down the very public rift between Texas Congressman and former Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw and podcaster/former SEAL Shawn Ryan — a clash that somehow involves birthday party posters, DJ Steve Aoki, legal threats, and bruised egos. We walk through what Shawn Ryan said on his podcast, how Dan Crenshaw responded, and why both men ended up doing the exact thing they claimed to hate: making dramatic internet videos. Along the way, we compare this SEAL-on-SEAL dust-up to other growing conservative civil wars — Tucker vs. Shapiro, Candace Owens vs. everyone, and the rise of public “pissing matches” in right-leaning media circles.   The result? A funny, sharp, and slightly painful look at how real heroes sometimes trip over celebrity culture, how political branding collides with authenticity, and why Americans might prefer their Navy SEALs a little quieter and a lot less Saturday Night Live.   Ten Minutes of Truth #75 #DanCrenshaw #SeanRyan #NavySEAL #ConservativeInfighting #PoliticalPodcast #MilitaryCulture #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaDrama #Congress #PodcastWars #CultureWars #SteveAoki   Dan Crenshaw Sean Ryan Navy SEAL feud, Dan Crenshaw controversy, Sean Ryan podcast, Navy SEAL drama, conservative infighting, military culture politics, political podcast analysis, Barrett and Baxa, conservative media war, Crenshaw birthday party, Steve Aoki controversy, SEAL community debate, DJ Steve Aoki,

If you want to learn how modern political pandering turns into unintentional comedy, this episode is a masterclass. In this edition of Barrett & Baxa – 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob break down Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s now-viral attempts to pander to Somali voters by butchering the Somali language so badly it sounds like a deleted scene from Bridesmaids.   We analyze the now-legendary mashup comparing Frey’s awkward Somali speeches to Kristen Wiig’s famously painful Spanish scene — and spoiler alert: the vibes are identical. From campaign optics and identity politics to food-photo ops and forced cultural performances, this episode shows how political pandering often backfires into parody.   But it doesn’t stop at comedy. Steve and Bob connect the dots between voter pandering, media silence, and one of the largest alleged welfare fraud scandals in U.S. history — while legacy networks spend more time covering Trump complaining about fraud than the fraud itself.   If you want to understand media bias, political theater, and why voters are laughing instead of listening, this episode delivers the truth with punchlines.   | Ten Minutes of Truth #74 #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #JacobFrey #MinneapolisPolitics #MediaBias #PoliticalPandering #SomaliFraud #WelfareFraud #MediaSilence #NewsBias #IdentityPolitics #ViralPolitics #ComedyPolitics Jacob Frey, Minneapolis mayor, Somali language speech, Somali voters, political pandering, welfare fraud Minnesota, media bias, ABC NBC coverage, Newsbusters, Minneapolis politics, Somali community Minnesota, viral political clips, Bridesmaids mashup, identity politics, media hypocrisy, election pandering

You’re about to learn how modern politics has fully crossed the line from “serious business” into full sketch comedy — and why the internet is doing a better job reporting it than the media.   In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob unload a week’s worth of political insanity, viral clips, and unintentional comedy that simply demanded commentary.   From Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s painfully awkward Somali food stunt (the facial expressions say it all), to the growing taxpayer fraud scandals in Minnesota, to the rise of what might be the most accurate phrase of the year — “suicidal empathy” — this episode connects the dots between performative politics, misplaced compassion, and real-world consequences. Spoiler alert: the taxpayers are the punchline.   Then it’s on to Jasmine Crockett’s baffling Senate campaign ad, where Donald Trump does all the talking, she does none, and somehow that’s the strategy. No policies. No ideas. Just vibes, blinking, and folded arms. If Idiocracy felt prophetic before, it now feels like opposition research.   This episode breaks down why modern politics is increasingly driven by viral moments, grievance branding, and “I hate Trump” as a substitute for an actual platform — all with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and zero guardrails.     #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #PoliticalComedy #MediaSchmedia #JacobFrey #JasmineCrockett #MinnesotaFraud #PoliticalSatire #ViralPolitics #Idiocracy #TaxpayerFraud #ModernPolitics #MediaBias #PodcastClips #PoliticalPodcast   Jacob Frey Somali food video, Jasmine Crockett campaign ad, Minnesota fraud scandal, Somali fraud Minnesota, political satire podcast, conservative comedy podcast, viral political clips, media bias commentary, taxpayer fraud Minnesota, suicidal empathy politics, bad political ads, modern politics satire, Trump campaign ads reaction, idiocracy politics podcast, Barrett and Baxa

Want to save your kids from going viral and going to the ER? Curious why TikTok trends keep ending with police lights, lawsuits, and in some cases… bullet wounds? In this episode of Barrett & Baxa, Steve and Bob unpack the wild world of dangerous TikTok challenges—from door-kicking idiocy to “annoy strangers until they snap” pranks—and explain how a quest for clicks is turning teens into Darwin Award contestants.   We dive into real-life news stories, including shootings connected to viral pranks, a Florida sheriff issuing the most Florida warning ever, and the now-infamous case of prankster Tanner Cook, the guy who learned the hard way that shoving a phone in a stranger’s face doesn’t always end in a like and a subscribe.   You’ll hear about home improvement store mayhem, drywall collisions, and kids who somehow think “kicking someone’s front door at 2 a.m.” is a harmless LOL moment. Spoiler: homeowners disagree. Loudly. And armed.   If you want to understand how social-media clout culture is pushing teens into increasingly dangerous behavior—and how quickly a “funny” TikTok bit can turn criminal or fatal—this is your episode. Come for the laughs, stay for the life-saving PSA, and leave knowing exactly how NOT to get shot or sued on the internet.   #TikTokChallenge #DangerousTrends #ViralPranks #SocialMediaSafety #PranksGoneWrong #TannerCook #DoorKickingTrend #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #MediaShmedia #SocialMediaCulture #HomeownerDefense #FloridaSheriff #GradyJudd #CloutChasing   tiktok dangerous trends, viral pranks gone wrong, tanner cook shooting, alan colie case, door kicking challenge, home invasion prank, social media harassment, prankster shot, dangerous viral trends, barrett and baxa podcast, media shmedia episode, 10 minutes of truth, florida sheriff grady judd, viral challenge deaths, teen social media danger, youtube prank culture, viral trend lawsuit, tiktok injury cases, clout chasing culture, public harassment prank

You’ll walk away laughing, but also understanding why teenagers think the news media is about as trustworthy as a Craigslist used car listing.   iHeartMedia has now declared itself “Guaranteed Human.” And yes, that is an actual slogan — not the label on a gluten-free snack. Steve and Bob dive into the brave new world where radio DJs are either real humans making $9 an hour, or AI robots pretending to care about Lady Gaga intros. It’s a hilarious breakdown of how legacy media keeps insisting it’s authentic… while also quietly replacing Chad in the booth with a microchip.   But then things go off the rails — the media loses its mind over a typo at a Trump cabinet meeting. One extra “S” in the word “Secretary,” and suddenly headlines scream NAZI SIGNAL! DROWSY PEOPLE! SOMEONE DOODLED!.   Our hosts unpack how a bored intern with WordPad became the center of a national panic — and why this circus is exactly why Gen Z trusts the media less than gas station sushi.   Finally, Steve and Bob explore whether journalism is even journalism anymore — or if YouTubers, podcasters and independent creators are the only real reporters left.   #MediaBias #FakeNews #AIvsHuman #iHeartMedia #TrumpNews #NewsAnalysis #PodcastClip #PoliticalComedy #MediaCritique #IndependentMedia #YouTubePodcast #BreakingNewsFail #JournalismCrisis   iHeartMedia guaranteed human, AI radio DJs, media bias analysis, Trump cabinet typo, Pete Hegseth nameplate misspelling, news media criticism, journalism crisis, media trust survey, teenagers distrust news, Nazi symbol accusation, political humor podcast, YouTube political commentary, AI in broadcasting, independent media growth, podcast comedy commentary, media meltdown analysis

Want to know whether YOU qualify as a journalist… or if you need a million YouTube subscribers and a federal judge’s permission slip? In today’s episode, Steve and Bob break down the wild new legal battle that could reshape digital media, citizen journalism, YouTube reporting, and maybe the entire future of independent news.   Plus, we promise: watching this episode will make you at least 37% smarter about the First Amendment—or at least give you something spicy to yell about on the internet.   We dive into the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni drama, the Tampa judge demanding a YouTuber hand over his sources, and whether “Popcorned Planet” counts as journalism or just journalism-with-extra-butter. Then we swerve straight into high-octane political comedy, featuring Eric Swalwell posting the most unintentionally hilarious campaign video of 2025 and Katie Porter dropping swearwords like she’s trying to win a Democratic talent show. It’s media chaos, political cringe, and legal insanity—all delivered at the speed of a caffeinated stand-up comic.   If you want truth, comedy, constitutional law, celebrity feuds, and a masterclass in how not to run for governor, this episode is your new favorite form of therapy.     #journalism #YouTubeNews #IndependentMedia #BlakeLively #JustinBaldoni #PopcornedPlanet #FreePress #FirstAmendment #EricSwalwell #KatiePorter #Politics2025 #MediaAnalysis #DigitalJournalism #CourtCase #YouTuberNews #10MinutesOfTruth     journalism, YouTube journalist, Popcorned Planet, Andy Signore, Blake Lively lawsuit, Justin Baldoni lawsuit, Eric Swalwell campaign, Katie Porter governor run, citizen journalism, First Amendment, source protection, judge Tampa ruling, YouTube politics, media analysis, political commentary, YouTube court case, independent journalism, YouTube legal case, political cringe, viral political video, comedy news commentary

Want to laugh and feel slightly less crazy about the state of the world? In this Media Shmedia comeback special, Steve and Bob unload everything that doesn’t fit into a tidy 10 Minutes of Truth. From a bald eagle dropping a cat through a windshield (yes, really) to small-town TV news disasters, TikTok haters, awkward headshots, and an actual African politician named Adolf Hitler — this episode is basically what happens when cable news, local news, and clown world all show up to the same party.   You’ll also hear about Rachel Maddow mysteriously materializing at Dick Cheney’s funeral, the New York Times turning an illegal-immigrant identity thief into a “co-victim,” Somali fraud scandals in Minnesota, woke campus gatekeepers punishing a Christian student over gender, and a British guy arrested for… posting a Florida vacation photo. Steve and Bob break down how media, academia, and “captured” institutions keep flipping criminals into victims and reality into propaganda — and how to spot the trick. Watch this episode if you want to laugh, yell “you’ve got to be kidding me,” and walk away with sharper media BS radar.     #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaSchmedia #10MinutesOfTruth #MediaBias #FakeNews #SomaliFraud #IdentityTheft #RachelMaddow #DickCheney #TrumpDerangementSyndrome #WokeMadness #IllegalImmigration #FreeSpeech #GunRights #TikTok #ChristianConservative #GenderIdeology     Barrett and Baxa, Media Schmedia, 10 Minutes of Truth, conservative podcast, media bias, fake news, legacy media, Rachel Maddow Dick Cheney funeral, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Somali fraud Minnesota, Feeding Our Future scandal, Tim Walz scandal, identity theft New York Times, Two Men One Identity They Both Paid The Price, Romeo Perez Bravo, Dan Kluver, illegal immigration fraud, criminals as victims, Campbell Soup CIO controversy, Oklahoma student Christian beliefs gender essay, gender ideology on campus, woke universities, Afton Bain Tennessee, men can get pregnant, Nick Fuentes controversy, antisemitism on the right, TikTok hates us, Crown Act hair discrimination, Michelle Obama hair rant, Sikh truckers episode, UK gun arrest holiday photo, free speech vs censorship, small town news fail, bald eagle drops cat, birds of prey and pets, headshots photo shoot, conservative comedy, political commentary, right wing humor, anti woke podcast

YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW POLITICS TURNED INTO PERFORMANCE ART — AND WHY VIRAL OUTRAGE NOW BEATS COMMON SENSE AT THE BALLOT BOX. If you’ve ever wondered how stunt politics, social media activism, and online theater took over American elections… congratulations. This episode is your crash course.   On this episode of Barrett & Baxa, Steve and Bob break down the most bizarre political spectacle of the election cycle as they examine Afton Behn — a candidate whose campaign was powered less by policy and more by Instagram meltdown energy. From crashing government offices for clicks to public screaming fits that look more like reality TV auditions than leadership, the hosts dissect how viral behavior has become a legitimate strategy in modern campaigns.   Along the way, they roast performative outrage, expose how theatrics replace substance, and ask the uncomfortable question nobody else wants to touch: Has politics become nothing more than addiction to attention and emotional chaos?

Want the fastest way to understand why Trump and Zohran Mamdani just had the political equivalent of two dogs barking through a fence… only to act polite when the gate opens? Watch this episode and you’ll walk away knowing exactly how the chaos in Minnesota, New York, D.C. and Somalia all collided in a single news cycle. And yes—there’s a brand-new “Governor Tim Walz: Fraud Edition” action figure. Batteries not included. Blame-shifting finger sold separately. In this explosive Ten Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob break down Trump’s unexpectedly warm Oval Office moment with NYC’s socialist mayor, followed immediately—and we mean immediately—by Trump revoking Somali TPS status and accusing Minnesota of harboring clan-based welfare schemes straight out of a geopolitical soap opera. We dive into Somali fraud, Minnesota taxpayer outrage, Zelensky déjà vu, a Fox News Oval Office hipcheck, and the billion-dollar welfare scandal lighting up Minnesota media like it’s Christmas morning.   If you want political clarity and a few good laughs while learning why Minnesota now needs a polling firm dedicated exclusively to Somali clans, this episode is your pre-holiday gift. We even explain why Tim Walz is pointing his “blame finger” at literally everyone except himself. Buckle up—this is media truth, not media schmedia.     #TenMinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa #TrumpNews #Mamdani #MinnesotaFraud #SomaliFraud #TimWalz #PoliticalPodcast #MediaBias #ConservativeCommentary #OvalOffice   Media bias explained, Conservative commentary, Political humor podcast, Local corruption exposed, Fraud investigation Minnesota, What really happened ,Truth behind Explained clearly, What you didn’t know, Inside the scandal

Want to understand the civil war erupting inside the American conservative movement—without drowning in rage tweets, burner accounts, or “fluffing and cucking” references? Then this episode is your survival guide. In ten fast minutes, we break down the biggest internal rift the right has faced in years: Israel, Gaza, and the political earthquake triggered by Charlie Kirk’s final letter, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, and the Ben Shapiro–Fuentes culture-war explosion.   Watch this episode and you’ll walk away able to explain the entire feud in one breath—and maybe even save a Thanksgiving dinner argument.   Steve and Bob dissect how this fight splintered conservatives into two loud camps: the Tucker/Fuentes/Heritage faction and the Shapiro/Levin traditionalist wing. We look at how Charlie Kirk became a posthumous lightning rod, why Tucker didn’t push back on Fuentes, how the Heritage Foundation got dragged into the blast radius, and why Megyn Kelly is stuck playing political Switzerland. All of it, delivered with a comedic edge—because sometimes the only way to process conservative infighting is to laugh before your brain combusts.   If you want a sharp, funny, deeply informed breakdown of the right’s new identity crisis—and the media narratives fueling it—you’re in the right place. This episode promises clarity, context, and a few moments where Ben Shapiro accidentally makes a porn joke.

Want to understand why Michelle Obama’s hair, fashion choices, and 70-million-dollar lifestyle somehow keep ending in a complaint tour? Watch this episode — you’ll never look at a presidential podcast meltdown the same way again.   We break down the former First Lady’s latest round of grievance-based storytelling, decode the “for y’all” hair sermon, and ask the big question: Is America tired of the Michelle Obama pity brand or just confused by it?   This week, Steve and Bob take you through Michelle’s on-stage interview with Tracee Ellis Ross — complete with awkward laughter, fashion-cape confusion, mic-check mismanagement, and a full breakdown of the “white people won’t let me swim because I straighten my hair” monologue. We rewind the tape, pause the nonsense, and deliver a stand-up-style critique of the world’s most begrudging multimillionaire. Plus, Sage Steele give us a welcome respite from the FLOTUS flu with a reality check only she can properly deliver.   If you’ve ever wondered why some political celebrities blame America for everything except their real problems, this episode will make you laugh, shout, rewind, and maybe even check your hair in the mirror.

If you want to understand exactly how Gavin Newsom is quietly setting himself up for a 2028 White House run, this episode will save you hours of doom-scrolling and political amnesia. Watch this and you’ll walk away with a BS-detector so sharp even California’s PR machine can’t dull it. Steve and Bob break down Newsom’s unofficial “3-step glow-up plan”: rewrite his California record, pretend the homeless crisis just moved to Oregon on its own, and somehow convince America that Joe Biden delivered a "masterclass" in anything besides tripping over sandbags. They roast the continued lying from top Democrats about Biden’s obviously declining mental acuity, the political strategy of waiting for Americans to forget everything, and Newsom’s unstoppable hand-jive choreography.   Plus: the LatinX meltdown, Kamala Harris’s campaign landmine, Biden’s decades of conveniently forgotten scandals, why politicians count on our short memories, and whether the next Democratic nominee will ironically be the very demographic they claim to despise: a slick-haired white guy from California.

🚨 Warning: Watching this episode may cause sudden bursts of laughter and an uncontrollable urge to question everything the media tells you about “victims.” In this week’s Barrett & Baxa breakdown, we’re talking big rigs, bad reporting, and a BBC headline that could only come from a newsroom allergic to facts. When multiple people die in two highway crashes, the media somehow finds a way to make truck drivers the victims. Yeah, because clearly the real tragedy is that someone felt nervous.   Steve and Bob—aka “Trucker Bob”—take you under the hood of the trucking industry and into the cab of common sense. From 80,000-pound rigs to illegal U-turns and “anti-Sikh rhetoric” that no one can actually find, the guys roast the coverage, expose the spin, and deliver a masterclass in how journalists invent narratives out of thin air. Spoiler: the only “high alert” status here is for nonsense.   If you’ve ever yelled at a semi on the freeway (or been yelled at by one), you’ll love this one. Tune in for raw laughs, hard truth, and a reminder that sometimes the most dangerous vehicle on the road is the news van.   trucker crash California, dash cam crash video, trucking dangers, big rig accident, BBC bias, media lies exposed, illegal immigrant drivers, highway accident truth, Barrett and Baxa podcast, Trucker Bob, mainstream media bias, truth podcast, real journalism, media manipulation, California truck crash, Sikh truck drivers, CDL English requirement, illegal U-turn Florida, fake outrage media, trucking industry news, truck driver reaction, dash cam footage, highway safety, news commentary, media spin, investigative podcast, trucking scandal, journalism breakdown, media criticism, Barrett and Baxa, Media Schmedia   #BarrettAndBaxa #TruckerBob #MediaSchmedia #TruthPodcast #BigRigTruth #DashCamCrash #TruckingNews #MediaBias #FakeOutrage #RealJournalism #NewsExposed #MainstreamMediaLies #TruckingLife #MediaManipulation #PodcastClips #NewsAnalysis #TruckerStories #DashCamVideo #HighwayTruth #BarrettAndBaxaPodcast

The BBC is facing resignations and scandal over a fake Trump edit and a woke meltdown about calling pregnant people ‘women.’ Barrett & Baxa unpack the biggest British broadcasting bombshell of the year.   Find out what happens when “impartial journalism” gets caught with its pants down. In this 10 Minutes of Truth, Barrett & Baxa unpack the BBC’s spectacular implosion — complete with top-level resignations, doctored Trump clips, and an anchor who committed the unthinkable crime of calling a pregnant person a “woman.” Shocking, right? Somewhere in London, a DEI officer just fainted into a cup of Earl Grey.   The boys break down how the BBC, the supposed gold standard of British broadcasting, managed to splice a Trump speech like it was an MTV music video, then lectured the public about “truth.” Meanwhile, 20 Brits actually filed complaints because a newscaster’s facial expression wasn’t woke enough. Yeah — apparently grimacing is now hate speech in Britain.   If you’ve ever wondered how far the media will bend reality to fit their narrative, grab your tea and crumpets, because Barrett & Baxa are crossing the pond to deliver some high-octane mockery and razor-sharp analysis. Watch now — you’ll never trust the “most trusted broadcaster” the same way again.   #BBC #BBCScandal #MediaBias #FakeNews #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #BritishMedia #TrumpSpeech #BBCNews #BBCPanorama #PregnantPeople #WokeMedia #MediaSchmedia #TruthPodcast #UKJournalism #BarrettAndBaxaPodcast #BBCImplosion #BritishBroadcasting #BBCBias #TrumpEdit   BBC scandal 2025, BBC fake Trump speech, BBC bias exposed, British media meltdown, Barrett and Baxa, 10 Minutes of Truth, BBC resignations, BBC editing scandal, Trump speech edit BBC, BBC credibility crisis, pregnant people controversy UK, BBC pregnant person anchor, Martin Croxall BBC, BBC Panorama Trump edit, fake news BBC, media bias exposed, British journalism bias, BBC implodes, Trump BBC controversy, BBC news bias, UK broadcasting scandal, British fake news, Trump media coverage, Barrett and Baxa podcast, Barrett and Baxa Media Schmedia, Barrett and Baxa truth, truth podcast 2025, BBC resignations explained, woke media meltdown, pregnant people debate, BBC impartiality crisis, BBC news resignations, British media manipulation, 10 Minutes of Truth Barrett and Baxa, BBC fake edit story, BBC implosion explained, UK media bias, Trump edit controversy, BBC busted, BBC fake news 2025

Learn how to sniff out media malfeasance and dodge the headline hoax machine — so you don’t get duped. This episode of “Barrett & Baxa” peels back the screaming headlines and shows you what really happened when media outlets pick & choose facts. With the skill of a stand-up comic pointing out absurdities, we take you through three juicy examples: an undocumented father pulled out of his truck, a story of alleged police brutality that made no mention of the usual media narrative - race, and a pregnant woman-in-car video that some media tried to sell as a victim narrative. We roast the omissions, highlight the contradictions, and offer up a new acronym for headlines that tell you absolutely nothing. Expect verbal veritas, jokes, sharp commentary on selective outrage, and how to spot when the truth isn’t even in the headline. This isn’t just media criticism — it’s your viewer’s cheat sheet for fact-checking the story behind the story. #MediaMalfeasance #HeadlineHoax #FactCheckComedy #BarrettAndBaxa media malfeasance, headline hoax, fact checking news, selective outrage, undocumented father story, ICE arrest video, police brutality acquittal, Tyre Nichols case, false victim narrative, podcast commentary, current events humor
