Defining Obliterated! Don’t say RIOTS, Pronouncing Iran and pool rats | Media Schmedia EP 19

It’s been a year since we were all SHOCKED to find out that Joe Biden was not as coherent as we were told. This week, journalists around the world needed a dictionary definition for the word OBLITERATED! Steve smells a rat and Bob’s aunt calls us out as the ‘bros’ that we are.
 
We’ll talk about the media flip-flop on Iran’s nukes - and decide once and for all how to pronounce that dang country. What are New Yorkers thinking? Zohran Mamdani’s name is almost as bad.
 
Journalists are told what to say on air? How can it be… especially from speech police as Minnesota nice as CBS News.
 
The B&B has news for the Chosen Few and as usual Bob just won’t shut up.
