The media didn't create Trump - but he's exactly the candidate they've been waiting for since 1987. t's time for the mainstream media to start acting in the public interest - instead of their corporate interests.

Filmmaker Jen Senko joins Thom. If you've ever wondered how your father - uncle - brother - or cousin - got hooked on watching Fox so-called News and suddenly became a parrot of Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelley - you're not alone. There's been numerous books written about the Faux News phenomena and how the network became the second most watched network in America - second only to ESPN. But now there's a new 90 minute documentary directed by Jen Senko called "The Brainwashing of My Dad" that explains how a "Kennedy Democrat" became a right-wing hate parrot thanks to his daily commute.

Tonight’s Politics Panel discusses the battery charges filed against a Trump advisor, whether Hillary will agree to more debates, and Bernie’s new superdelegate strategy. Thom discusses how Fox News is brainwashing Americans with Jen Senko, director of “The Brainwashing of My Dad,” and in tonight’s Daily Take Thom details how the end of the Fairness Doctrine led to the rise of Donald Trump.

Dr. Michael Mann, Earth System Science Center-Penn State University/Dire Predictions: Understanding Climate Change (2nd edition) joins Thom. We had all better hope these scientists are wrong about the planet’s future. Scientists now say that ice melt in Greenland and Antarctica could speed up faster than we previously thought. But that's not just going to raise sea levels - it could drive storms stronger than anything humans have ever seen.
