The discussion introduces the "nut graph"—the summary paragraph of a news story—and how activists believe it is being misused to provide false balance to Trump's rhetoric.
GPS Satellite Glitch, Time Relativity, Operation Northwoods 2
A global GPS glitch caused by a 13-microsecond timing error on a decommissioned satellite led to navigation errors worldwide. The hosts discuss the "Time Nuts" mailing list and the physics of relativity as it applies to satellite synchronization. They also mention rumors of an "Operation Northwoods 2" in Europe related to the MH17 investigation.
