"Misdirection Month"

Two videos from totally separate content creators coincidentally vlogging on almost exactly the same topic. First, we have Irishman Dave Cullen reviewing 1997's "Wag the Dog," the story of how the media were used by the government to cover up a presidential sex scandal* by ginning up a fictitious war (I never saw the movie, but I kinda want to see it now):

Next up is the way-overcaffeinated RazörFist talking about Misdirection Month, in which Hunter and Joe Biden's scandals are downplayed and swept aside by (1) the Titan submersible implosion and (2) the weekend non-coup in Russia. With conspiracy theorists basically batting a thousand over the past couple of years, is it too much to think that the timing on both of these distracting events was a little too perfect for the Bidens?

We truly live in interesting times.

*Keep in mind that, in 1997, Bill Clinton was president (1993-2001). However, he didn't get impeached until 1998, so while it's easy to misremember "Wag the Dog" as a commentary on the Clinton White House, it most likely wasn't... unless someone knew something and was dropping a massive hint.
