Overview
Barely Informed News covered the Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal announcement with skeptical analysis of Biden’s victory lap and Trump’s credit-claiming, then pivoted to the imminent TikTok ban and the ironic migration to Chinese app Red Note. The broadcast featured a movie trailer review segment with Trent, a chaotic Amongst the Web hosted by Leon Kennedy, a raw DJ Newsic set during which Case revealed housing legal limbo and a new MWF schedule, and closed with Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG adjudicated by Little Tommy Big Law’s nipple-centric jurisprudence.
