This was an intentional lie by Scott to cover up why his tribe always falls for hoaxes.
It's not some neutral principle, its a facet of the left - you demonstrate loyalty by believing a big lie - hence why his post failed totally to give examples of anything similar on the right
This is not to say that the right is a truth machine but it fails in a very different way - it fails out of failing to understand the nature of the left - it often claims a motive of *financial* corruption when there's none there.
To a leftist money is meaningless because when you have power you can simply take money from those without power.
Every NGO lawsuit that extracts millions from some corp is the left transmuting power to money.
Rightists live in a world where money is earned on the market.
All part of Scott's worldview where the left and the right are just different teams that have some different views ("culture war") rather than being very different things - a worldview he forces himself to stay within b/c he can't integrate the implications of it being incorrect

"you agreed to all these intermediate steps, why object now?"
The actual answer is that this is a valid measure for a sane, responsible government and it would get compliance - but what we have is an insane malicious government.
You can't import hundreds of thousands of Afghans *and* believe the next measure isn't done out of malice too.
You don't get to have your government run by people who gloat about how angry this measure makes people - revealing that their real motive is the anger - and also have people not notice.
"If someone was elected on a platform of 'I will take command of the executive branch entirely and rule' and the candidate who ran on that won, USG would give up and collapse due to preference falsifications and guilty knowledge of having ruled badly"
One of the co-hosts (the one who speaks less) points out - "no, they would not lose hope and give" - *and he's right* - and the matter is dropped.
The things you think are being done badly aren't flaws, they're features to the ruling class.
Everyone is focused on the spectators in this (and what a joke commies who brought starvation in the name of eliminating capitalist exploitation are) but the logical endpoint of this view is that no one is watching the game anyway because it elevates the athletically talented
Finding baseball talent and arranging games and leagues that people are intensely interested is just gibs from the gibs tree and will always be there.
In reality it's more and more of a taboo to even imagine finding talent ... if the means of finding it has ... Disparate Impact
The meme only exists in a (literal) boomer context that is long gone.
Stadiums used to be in cities where gangs of white kids would live who would all be interested in baseball as entertainment and try to catch a glimpse of the games.
