Megyn Kelly and Ruthless Podcast Hosts on Media Hypocrisy and Natasha Bertrand

Media Reporting on Iran Strikes

• 🎯 CNN's reporting on the American strikes on Iran's nuclear program is criticized for suggesting the sites were not destroyed, contradicting intelligence assessments.
• 💡 The video highlights a discrepancy between CNN's preliminary intelligence assessment and statements from the IAEA and other intelligence agencies, including Israelis, which indicated the sites were destroyed and would take years to rebuild.

Criticism of Natasha Bertrand

• 🔍 Natasha Bertrand is accused of dishonest and disastrous fake news reporting, particularly regarding the Steele Dossier and Russian interference.
• 🧠 She is described as being used as a stenographer for intelligence forces with an agenda, with her reporting often appearing to help or hurt Donald Trump.
• ⚠️ Bertrand's past reporting on the Steele Dossier and the Hunter Biden laptop is presented as examples of her alleged bias and lack of critical assessment.

Jake Tapper's Role as Journalist

• 🗣️ Jake Tapper is criticized for lecturing the president on the role of a journalist, especially after the administration's reporting on the Iran strikes.
• 🚩 The hosts argue that Tapper's stance on asking questions of leaders, particularly in times of war, is hypocritical given past coverage of a previous administration.
• 🎭 Tapper's lecture is framed as a lecture to the president on journalistic duties, contrasting with his own past reporting.

Media Bias and "Wish Casting"

• 📊 The discussion suggests that some reporters, like Bertrand, engage in "wish casting," accepting the least charitable interpretations from the deep state because they want them to be true.
• 📺 This behavior is compared to a strain of journalism that seemed to "root for the virus" during early COVID-19 reporting.
• 🧩 The phenomenon of reporters being used as a conduit for intelligence agencies to undermine the president is discussed as a long-standing issue, now more apparent in the Trump era.

BRICS and the US Dollar

• 💰 A brief mention is made of BRICS nations planning to circumvent the US dollar, potentially impacting its global dominance.
• 📈 Diversification with gold through Birch Gold Group is suggested as a way to protect retirement savings from this potential shift.
