The fascists are coming down the pipeline. Scary time for America. I served and did my part. I've actually thought about spending my twilight years as a Canadian lol.

[@bjdefilippo447]

Fascinating interview. I like the focus on taking a long-term approach, the importance of context, and the role of the media in shaping a narrative as well as providing information.

[@doodle6600]

David, Sir, with tears in my eyes, could you please go live for the tRump rally today? I need more of your common sense and intellect in my life.

[@adriannannen5941]

Yep it could defintly use some communist commentary

Canada is too hard to immigrate into, Ali. The USA is too easy.

Ali and Medhi Hasan are my 2 favorite media personalities ever.

[@user-gn2rq7vy8k]

David just admitted he is an incrementalist in this segment

[@dfuher968]

Whats wrong with that? Being a progressive is about achieving progress, big or small. Very rarely is it by leaps and bounds, the vast majority of the time it is incremental. Calling oneself a progressive, yet refusing incremental improvements, coz its "not enough", is selfdefeating.

[@user-gn2rq7vy8k]

@@dfuher968 what you don't get is we can't afford incrementalism because things are that bad

Does ol Ali know that the original slogan for thalidomide was "safe and effective" Sir?

Science, unlike you, has no issues with admitting when and where they were wrong.

[@patriciaputney9528]

Mr Velshi talks about "where we get our information". His true perspective seems to be about how to produce information rather than how it is consumed or how to evaluate the information we consume.
