On this episode of In The Flesch with Dave, Steve, and Malcolm: Why is the New York Times and other old mainstream media outlets using twitter for quotes of public figures in their articles instead of interviewing subjects? Will the psychic that HLN brought on to discuss the disappearance of Malaysian flight 370 be brought back for mysterious occurrences in the future? The guys discuss Andrew Napier's new film, Mad As Hell, a new documentary about Cenk and the Young Turks, which screened in Los Angeles this past week and will be premiering at the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto in a few weeks.

Cenk, Ben, John Iadarola, and Wes Clark, Jr hosting.  Latest on the growing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.  More and more troops are building along the Ukraine border as President Obama warns them to ease back.  Wes Clark believes that Putin will go into Estonia and escalate this conflict to war levels.  He breaks down the historic brutal policies of Russians.  Condi Rice headlined the NRCC fundraising event with words about how we don’t have the luxury of being war weary right now.  Bill Kristol also chimed in with blood thirsty war rhetoric. Cenk disagrees with their “war weary” talk, but agrees that we should intervene militarily if Russia goes into Estonia since they are a part of NATO.  Wes doesn’t think we will, even though legally we should.  Geraldo told Fox and Friends that mainstream media protects Democrats that are involved in scandals, especially since ethnic politicians are caught robbing the citizens.  Ben goes off on the obvious racism in Geraldo’s words.  According to one scientist, humans have been losing cognitive intelligence.  Creationist Ken Ham jumped onto this fact and claimed that the reason this is happening is because of sin, corrupting God’s creation.  List of the most and least liked news anchors in America.  Scott Pelley of CBS is #1 on likeability, and Chris Matthews ended at the bottom.

A student at UNC allegedly handed in an extremely simplistic paper about Rosa Parks that spanned only one paragraph.  The paper was written by a student athlete and it got him an A- as a grade.  Ben outlines the problems with this story that may make it invalid.  Stephen Colbert’s show is catching heat for a tweet from the account that posted a satirical racist tweet about Asians to rib Dan Snyder, the owner of the Redskins.  A Siberian dairy plant was closed last week because the workers were bathing in the milk.  Studies are showing that younger and younger men are dealing with erectile dysfunction due to addiction to online porn.  Movie theatres are considering lowering ticket prices for one day/week to give some relief to the ever-increasing prices of going to a movie.
