![]() Major corporations are increasingly paying people to pretend to be “normal” people on Facebook in order to influence public opinion. However, after receiving a dozen of these “concerned fans”, I realized each email had the same template. So it stands to reason that it was connected to my interview.Īnother example I can think of is whenever I do a piece about genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) and just how risky it is to eat them without proper testing, I immediately get many Facebook messages that seem to be from “concerned” fans who want to educate me on science. I’ve never had malware problems before or since. A really good programmer I know fixed the problem but he said that whoever did it really knew what they were doing. The following day my website – – where people go to get my podcast, had all kinds of malware. I interviewed his widow on my podcast “Moment of Clarity”. On the fourth interview, the FBI shot Todashev (while he was unarmed) seven times, once in the back of the head. You might recall that Todashev was interviewed by the FBI in Florida for being friends with one of the Boston bombers. The only time it seemed like something odd was going on was after I interviewed the widow of Ibragim Todashev. I think most of the “monsters” are too big to go after comedians like me. LC: No, I haven’t really gotten push-back. Any notable consequences from going against these groups? KW: Have you encountered any sort of push-back from the entities you’ve taken on? I mean, that’s a lot of “Big Evil” to fight– Monsanto, the Koch brothers…… McDonald’s. So I got lucky to find a network with no advertisers. Despite being a comedian for over 15 years, I had given up the idea of having my own TV show because the things I talk about go against corporate America. So what’s the point of a media that can’t cover HALF of what matters in the world? So I’m exceedingly proud that we get to do that as a comedy show. How often do you see them go after McDonald’s even though heart disease is the number one killer of Americans? Almost never. ![]() This is because that’s their main advertiser. Example – Nearly 70% of Americans are on some kind of prescription drugs but how often do you see CNN or MSNBC or FOX News talk about it? Rarely. It’s completely psychopathic and yet SO much of our world is off-limits on most channels because it would hurt advertisers. They’re eating everything in the name of profit. Lee Camp: Yes, it’s incredibly rewarding to have the freedom to go after all the corporate entities, news and otherwise, that are truly destroying our planet and our lives. Kirk one)–is it especially rewarding to present stories clearly not palatable to the the corporate news entities? It’s kind of a continuation of proving that they are a festival of ignorance, right? Continuing with that theme (not the Capt. Kirk was able to be so successful romantically with alien ladies). ![]() Kathleen Wallace: You are clearly not a friend to mainstream news as was evidenced when you appeared on Fox News and called them “ a festival of ignorance and parade of propaganda” –on their own set! (Which they deftly proved by cutting you off and going to a segment about how Capt. ![]() Comedian and activist Lee Camp, the host and head writer of the show, kindly answered some questions I had for him in regard to utilizing humor as a way to present some of the uncomfortable truths of our current situation. “Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp” airs weekly on the RT America channel, using a comedic touch to cover topics and angles largely ignored by corporate-directed media. ![]()
