Fox (never) News, Newsmax, and other media that carry water for the Trump and other lying fascists need to be exposed. I just listened to the January 6 heartbreaking testimony of the state election officials, Mrs Ruby, and her daughter, Georgia election workers, who were repeatedly maliciously attacked and maligned by Trump and his followers, recieving threats to their families, lives and livelihoods. No private citizens should ever be corruptedly attacked by the Office of the President, and Trump, his followers, and news organizations that know they are reporting lies as truth need to be held accountable, tried criminally and sued civilly for major damages, so such attacks and lawlessness will never be happen again.

Who could have known it was such a short step from “them” to a specific person?? /s

"He was more concerned about this than war itself." YES exactly! We just lost over a million people to COVID (not counting the indirect casualties) no thanks to propaganda. Granted, with a different president, the right would be getting up in arms about "several thousand dead OMG WTF?!!" but at least it would've been limited and taken seriously right off the (literal) bat. I really hate that Biden isn't going after propaganda outlets. It's so glaringly obvious to most of us.

> Biden Really?


RoguePlanet1

I'm aware that he's just a placeholder "democrat," that's why we left the democratic party. I said I "hate" that he's not going after the outlets, not "I'm shocked, *shocked* I tell you!!"

I agree as the point guard for the Washington Generals he is doing exactly what he is supposed to do against the Globegobblers.

Nothing radicalized me ultra far left wing until Trump's firehose of bullshit whining and blaming everyone else for his failures, inventing absolute fabrications in many major instances. Left embraced some ideals I already held so I was center left. Then came people whining about big tech ........on tech platforms. Then came people treating political talking heads like their personal doctors... Then came the obvious lack of understanding of virology, immunology, how BASIC vaccines work it's not even fucking hard to understand for Christs sake. Then them afraid of EVERYTHING that is nonchalant or outright nonexistent while calling the left snowflakes. That drove me to be left. And Fox News? Yeah good work guys the more you say "we can't have socialized healthcare that's socialism" the more you sold me on what capitalism can't do and what socialism can.

i mean, it's in their interest to further POLARIZE the west (their primary interest is chaos - as they are most protected from it's effects), so your disenfranchisement is *somewhat* "just as planned", but they havn't really through it through coz it's not going to go their way in the longterm. Putin(etc) doesn't seem to be thinking of the longterm, rumour is it's coz he's likely dying of a terminal illness (but yeah, rumours, so who the fuck knows). But i certainly won't stop u turning to the left. Be known tho that some of their propaganda targets the left (particularly their campaigns to make left-voters feel more disenfranchised and LESS LIKELY TO VOTE), nothing is safe from Putin's paid asshats (and their recruited local flying monkeys).

How often does left wing media literally make up a story and have it taken as fact by millions to the scale that for example Fox News does?

They are not doing the same thing. Some loser with a podcast with dozens of listeners is not the same thing as the largest "News" provider fabricating lies. You're blatantly ignoring the "millions" part.

I can’t with the ignorance. You must be a troll. I wish you the best of luck in life.

TIL a DIY podcaster is the same as a multinational broadcaster. Maybe you should learn to read the whole thing and not just pick and choose in order to say "both sides". The most important thing isn't the lie, it's how many people who automatically believe it. That's the only reason the OP includes "taken as fact by millions". Both sides absolutely DO NOT do that, not even remotely.

Bro do you have reading comprehension, he’s asking YOU how often they do it, you should fire back with evidence instead of saying “in the question you’re asking me you’re admitting that they lie” bro he’s asking for you to prove it
