From content paid for by Big Oil to “feel-good” stories about charity-dependent disabled children, America’s media have been hitting it out of the park so far in 2019. RT’s Redacted Tonight took a walk down Bad-Memories Lane.

Host Lee Camp compiled a rage-inducing collection of this year’s most infuriating stories – ranging from a dubious poll tax in Florida which has prevented millions of low income ex-convicts from voting, to parents being threatened with having their children seized by the government if they fail to pay for school lunches.
