e to you? And so I said have you seen the Anderson Cooper interview? And he said that he had seen the Anderson Cooper interview which to me looked just as crazy but he hadn't yet seen the Anderson Cooper. So he watched it and then he emailed me back and said okay he did watch that and that was, I don't forget what word to use, but he did mention there was an unusual interview but he was still conv…

Now the other thing that people suggested is that the accuser is actually a writer and she might have actually been the source of the plot. Maybe somebody knew her and heard the story and they were a writer for the SVU so it might not be a coincidence. It might be that the TV show was based on the real reported incident which probably wasn't real.

Brian Stelter said he doesn't understand why he can't Google and find a story about why Google is bad. I'm not making that up. That this actually happened. He doesn't understand why he can't Google a story about Google being bad and manipulating search results. I mean that's rage anyway.
Remember I told you that there's a good filter for reality. One of the filters for reality I will talk about when somebody's asking about that. One of the filters for reality is that if something is reported only on the conservative side or only on the liberal side it's probably no

t true. But right now the liberal side let's say CNN, MSNBC are not, they don't seem to be reporting that the Project Veritas stuff is not true and they would easily do that if they believed that to be the case. They're simply ignoring it. So this is sort of a special case where one side is reporting it widely and the other side acts like it doesn't exist and then or at least mostly doesn't exist.…
