"Carolla had his crew pause the clip so he could weigh in. You didn't miss the story, you lied about the story! he said. And yes, you did listen to advocates by the way, you're not supposed to listen to advocates. You're supposed to go do the research and crunch the numbers, not listen to people who work for this organization or that organization with an agenda."
"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American, Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you. That changes now.

Adam Carolla criticized Tony Dokoupil's CBS Evening News promo that framed declining trust in mainstream media. Carolla said the press did not 'miss' stories but lied, and he accused journalists of prioritizing advocates, academics, and elites over research and data. Carolla cited Hunter Biden's laptop, President Joe Biden's cognitive health, and COVID-19 as examples of alleged media failures. He mocked consulting 'average Americans' for factual issues such as COVID's risk to healthy children and insisted journalists should perform research and number-crunching rather than rely on advocacy sources.
