Reality Check comes up in 4 chapters across 4 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from August 2009 to March 2019.
Producer Credits, Reality Check and F-Cancer Karma
The hosts read a list of mid-tier donors, including Rene Labbe and Mark Tanner. They highlight a "reality check" written on a physical check from a producer in New Jersey and provide "F-Cancer" and job-seeking karma to various listeners.
No Agenda Value Proposition, Reality Check Wingman
The hosts describe their relationship as a "wingman" system that prevents each other from falling for internet hoaxes or propaganda. They argue that by deconstructing news together, they provide a necessary reality check for listeners who might otherwise be pushed into "Dimension B" by mainstream media narratives.
Sam Brock, Financial Crisis Warnings and Media Gaffes
Reporter Sam Brock delivers a "Reality Check" segment warning of a potential financial crisis similar to 2008 if the U.S. hits its debt ceiling. The report includes a notable verbal gaffe where Brock describes the potential impact of the shutdown as a "prick." The hosts highlight the scripted nature of local news and the unintended humor in the broadcast.
David Axelrod Viral Email, White House Reality Check Website
Senior Advisor David Axelrod issued a mass email to combat "lies and distortions" regarding health insurance reform. The White House launched a "Reality Check" website featuring videos by Nancy-Ann DeParle to debunk viral claims. The hosts characterize this effort as a "Ministry of Truth" style campaign designed to control the narrative surrounding the healthcare bill.
