Cable news networks including CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News are criticized for their repetitive coverage of the Mueller investigation and the sentencing of Michael Cohen. The current media cycle is compared to the year-long wall-to-wall coverage of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. The narrative scenarios constructed by these outlets are described as unwatchable and disconnected from reality.

A Dutch television report presented new conclusions regarding the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine. The report suggests that intensified fighting led to the accidental launch of a Buk missile, while also noting that local internet outages prevented standard monitoring of the flight path.

On the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a 500-page report reveals that the aircraft's underwater locator beacon battery had expired a year before the crash. This lapse in aviation maintenance is characterized as inexcusable, leading to a broader discussion about the maintenance standards of various Asian carriers compared to Western civil aviation protocols.

The hosts evaluate various conspiracy theories surrounding the MH17 crash, including claims of pre-loaded corpses and tampered passports. They argue that Vladimir Putin had no logical motive to down a civilian airliner, as it undermines his strategic goal of keeping the West at a distance while maintaining influence in Ukraine. The segment highlights the statistical anomalies often present in major aviation disasters.
