Should I Comey or Should I go - Episode 3
As soon as we heard about James Comey being fired, we knew the fake news would be flowing.  We were right.    
We also discuss an option for responding to fake news - and asking an important question - WHY.  We recommend finding out the why behind a post or share of fake news before responding - so you can respond responsibly.
We respond to a listener question about our tag - 'Spread jam, not lies'. 
Now, back to James Comey... we start out with the simple explanation.  From Breitbart.
