Day 2 Of Countdown To Launch: Lee Camp

December 10, 2017 Popular Resistance, www.PopularResistance.org , , ,
Lee Camp is a political comedian, writer, actor and activist. He was a member of the team that organized the occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC and has been a long time contributor to Popular Resistance. Lee created an online show, Moment of Clarity, starting in 2011, which "serves as a documentation of the corporate takeover of America – with jokes." Lee then created the first comedy program on RT America, Redacted Tonight, which airs weekly. He is the writer and host of the show. Lee brings news you won't hear in the US corporate media to the public each week in a format that people can accept, with humor.

Lee Camp Interview: Redacted Tonight

June 3, 2014 Dennis Trainor Jr, www.PopularResistance.org , , , , , , , ,
Lee Camp sits down for an interview with Dennis Trainor, Jr. to discuss his new 30-munite weekly comedy show on RT, Redacted Tonight. “In my opinion, (Redacted Tonight) is The Daily Show with sharper teeth,” says Camp. “The Daily Show is incredibly funny, and I don’t deny that, and I’m a huge fan of The Daily Show, but,” Camp notes, “as Chris Hedges has said, ‘Colbert and Stewart are allowed to go after the foibles of out leaders but they can’t go after the deeper concerns. (Such as) the deeper idea that the two main political parties are completely bought by these corporations and aren’t speaking for the people.” Lee also talks about his new stand up video special, We Are Nothing, the Liz Wahl, Abby Martin kerfuffle, and what it is like to have Vladimir Putin have editorial control over a comedy show. Ok, the thing about Putin is a joke, but Trainor forces the issue not once, but twice. Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp airs on the RT network every Friday night at 8PM & 11:30PM EST and is published inline at RT.com.
