7. I heard a commentator today saying the most outrageous things in the most unethical of ways

It was on Sirrius radio, so I am not positive what channel. I think it was MSNOW.

The MFer tried to act like he was a straight shooter, but 4 times within 3 minutes he made comments like "After all this, we are right back to where we were 90 days ago", specifically referencing Hormuz.

That was the most blatant of lies. He was trying to imply that Trump had to bomb Iran because Iran was restricting the traffic through Hormuz. That is a damned lie. 90 days ago was early January. There were absolutely no reports of shipping being impeded. That did not happen until AFTER Trump started bombing on Feb 28. That was not 90 days ago. That was barely a month ago. And the traffic stopped itself because insurers were not willing to underwrite sailing through an active war zone. Iran didn't do that. Trump created that war zone.

This is the kind of thing that makes me really hate MSNOW just as much as the rest of the legacy networks. 4 times this guy said it and nobody challenged it once.

Just once. I'd like to hear somebody say "Hang on. Are you saying ....?" When was the last time you heard those words on any of the legacy networks?
