Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, South Korea Data Trust
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session on International Women's Day, noting the political fallout for Elizabeth Warren. A discussion with a former New York banker reveals skepticism toward New York Times reporting and a prediction that the economic recovery will follow a V-shape rather than a U-shape.

00:00 Orange man kill babies. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday, March 8th, 2020. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1223. This is no agenda. Throwing yoga flame and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we have shaved heads and fists in the air, it's International Women's Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
00:35 Wow man, leave California. Is that what you got there? Is that all you have for International Woman's Day? Shaved heads and fists in the air. No, seriously? Is that what's going on?

Yes, we're all ears. Everybody. I just want to make sure you're ready for me. Let me see. Four main topics. One, the New York Times sucks. It's now using the same model as Fox News. Pander to your audience. Caveat, he says, that's the only way you can make money anymore in media.
01:38 This is a revelation to him? Well, I don't know. I guess. Then I have, ah yes, we talked about the economy and what's going to happen with the rebound from once coronavirus is over.

I don't know if you know there's some people say the first it was all we might see a V recovery and then I guess everyone's talking about a U recovery. Ooh. But he refutes that.
02:17 And he agrees with our basic premise that this is not a big deal, that that's how kind of how he got to the bull crap from the Times and you know he says everyone it says that a lot of Trump hate, he agrees, Trump hate in the reporting. He also thinks it will pass pretty quickly and he believes he has the mechanism that will reverse the trend of, well the trend of the market but also the fear factor in the world. that would be once South Korea definitively publishes its numbers and he thinks it'll be somewhere like a half of a half, you know, of a tenth of a percent. He thinks it'll be extremely low but that the South Koreans will be trusted because they can be trusted when they come out with numbers and it will be positioned as such. I like that.
