Topic: Good Times

Democracy Now host Amy Goodman is criticized for her framing of a Donald Trump interview in Time Magazine. Goodman claimed Trump "refused to rule out political violence," while the actual quote showed Trump stating that the outcome "depends on the fairness of the election." The hosts argue this is an example of extreme journalistic bias and "predictive programming."

The show concludes with a "Good News" story about firefighters providing a Hello Kitty cake for a young girl's birthday. The hosts sign off with their traditional "Adios Mofos" and play an end-of-show mix featuring "Face Bag" and other community-produced tracks. They remind listeners to return for the next episode on Sunday.

An interview with actor John Amos reveals the behind-the-scenes conflict on the 1970s sitcom "Good Times." Amos was fired by producer Norman Lear after objecting to the buffoonish portrayal of the character J.J. and the marginalization of the show's more professional characters. Lear is described as the "ground zero" of modern social justice warrior culture in media.
