257. Bill Burr is right. Stop looking at him and other entertainers as our leaders

Entertainers are not our leaders unless they want to be. Harry Belafonte, Dick Gregory, Jane Fonda, Queen Latifah, KRS-ONE, etc. I would argue that they are/were activist minded before they were entertainers or they consider themselves activists first and entertainers second. #billburr has made it clear that he is just a comedian and that journalists and news outlets shouldn't be sought out for their political views as if they're experts. He also calls out journalists for not actually pressing guests and factchecking. It's quite sad and it's part of the reason we got #trump as president. We have to do better.
