First Dave discusses the recent Biden executive order that forces federally funded schools to allow people to play the sport that matches their gender identity. The NY Times really wants to help Americans develop media literacy so they can be better equipped to handle misinformation.

Why News Doesn't Show This Biden Clip & Hilarious GameStop Theories | DIRECT MESSAGE Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about the Joe Biden executive orders hypocrisy, the ridiculous coverage of the GamesStop stock insanity, and Brian Stelter's ideas to keep us all safe from "Fox News lies." First off, Dave discusses a clip of Joe Biden where he called presidents who rely on executive orders dictators. Meanwhile, the GameStop short squeeze story is already getting the usual "blame Russia" treatment. Jimmy Kimmel made the baseless claim that "Russian disrupters" are possibly behind the Reddit community, while Newsweek tried desperately to link it to anti-Semitic right-wing extremist groups. Finally, Dave covers CNN calling for the reach of Fox News to be curtailed for contributing to divisive misinformation. Oh, the irony.
