The Best Debate in the Universe - Recently Trump tweeted a GIF of CNN getting body slammed and CNN tracked down the user who created it, but decided not to publish his name since the user apologized. Then CNN added that they reserve the right to publish his name "should any of [his apology] change." So that leads us to the debate this week: DID CNN CROSS THE LINE?
Monday July 10th 2017
Did CNN cross the line? The amazing Mike D joins us again for an awesome debate. If you'll recall (and you will after this sentence), Mike joined us on Episode #34 - Is it okay to punch a Nazi?. Well he's back and articulate as ever. This is one of the heartiest debates we've had on the show. Is "Han Asshole Solo" just a "troll" or is he a coward who backed down when he got caught? Weigh in on the comments below. These episodes are now also available on the Madcast Media Network YouTube channel:
