The irony of people like this misinterpreting government data as they orchestrate and cheer on a change in government.

In this past Friday's episode, Saks made some pretty terrifying statements about the FCC selling the VHF/UHF Frequencies.

He seemed wildly unclear about how leasing that space by the FCC has worked until now and pitched it as a "fixing the woke media" solution.

About as ironic as Linux devs recognizing Windows to be a crock of shit and providing a viable alternative.

Yes, Linux has bugs.

Can you elaborate on why the FCC openly auctioning VHF / UHF frequencies is terrifying ?

What government data did they misinterpret?

They correctly stated that the job numbers always get revised down not up.

They also correctly stated that the GDP growth in the last quarter was largely driven by government spend, and if you take out the private sector, there was little growth.

The entire article is pointing out quite clearly that this, in fact, not correct.

This is also demonstrably false with like 5 minutes of research. This is all a matter of public record https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm

But if you already believe it the facts can still support it even if they are wrong. They feel right.
