After a long hiatus, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee returned to TBS last night, and when it comes to the election, Samantha Bee had a ton of news to catch up on. In the above segment, Bee looks back on Matt Lauer’s widely panned Commander-in-Chief Forum with Trump and Clinton last week and how Lauer didn’t hold Trump accountable for all the lies he told during the interview. In part 2 of the segment, Bee calls out the rest of the news media for ultimately dropping the ball this election season and leaving the fact-checking to viewers. “You heard her, average American! In your plentiful spare time when you’re not working your two jobs or watching your screaming kids, why not spend 20 or 30 hours studying the Geneva Conventions so you know whether or not it’s okay to steal another country’s oil?” Bee says. “That’s so much easier than asking reporters and moderators to do their fucking jobs.”
