# Claim table — Tom MacDonald “The Government”

| Lyric/theme | Evidence label | PBC handling |
|---|---:|---|
| “I will never trust the government / authorities.” | Opinion / political expression | Preserved as cultural commentary. |
| Democrats and Republicans are both part of a system. | Opinion / populist critique | Debate topic, not a factual finding by itself. |
| Doctors are paid to lie. | Unsupported blanket claim | Requires case-specific proof; not carried as fact. |
| Hollywood is full of pedophiles and devil worship. | Unsupported broad allegation | Do not treat as evidence against a group or industry without specific records. |
| Media/news hide truth. | General distrust claim | Requires story-specific source checks. |
| The song reflects anti-establishment public mood. | Supported as cultural artifact | The video can be used as a snapshot of political distrust themes. |
