There are days I swear comedian Jimmy Dore is the one and only thing keeping the earth from flying off its axis. This man could have pointed his brilliant comic mind at earning bigass Steve Colbert plutocratic paychecks by stumping for the establishment and trying to make ecocidal corporatocracy look cute and funny, but he didn’t. He’s one of the only comics left using humor in a healthy way by punching up and speaking truth to power instead of smoothing the pillow of a dying world so we can all greet armageddon with a half-hearted smile and a McDonald’s jingle rattling around in our heads.

Dore’s latest 100 megaton truth bomb shot straight into the universe’s greatest truth vacuum like a jedi knight’s proton torpedo into the exhaust vent of an Imperial Death Star as he put his foot so far up the Washington Post’s ass it came out CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s mouth. Behold the glory:

Dore ripped into WaPo the way Debbie Wasserman Schultz rips into a plate full of mealworms, and he made it look fun. He smashed home the point that this CIA trade rag consistently violates standard journalistic protocol by refusing to ever disclose its $600 million conflict of interest when reporting on the US intelligence community, and how it has shameless deep state nosferatu like David Weigel acting as “attack dogs for the establishment” going after anyone who disputes the narrative being promulgated by America’s unelected power establishment.

The centerpiece of Dore’s gorey beatdown addresses the Media Matters report which shows how a Saudi lobbyist was permitted to run an editorial praising President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia without — and you might want to sit down for this shocker — without disclosing the author’s conflict of interest anywhere in the article.

This Saudi lobbyist, by the way, is the same man who as a lobbyist for Raytheon wrote an editorial praising Trump’s Tomahawk missile strikes, Ed Rogers. Guess where he published it? Washington Post. Guess what Raytheon manufactures? Tomahawk missiles. Guess if WaPo disclosed this conflict of interest in that article? I think you already know the answer to that.

Please check out Dore’s video and start paying attention to him if for some strange reason you haven’t been already; his show is one of the most significant things happening online today. I’m so glad he’s a thing.
