I know you’re joking about the military and “wokeness” but let me tell y’all a little story. My son has been in the Marines around 18 months. COVID absolutely destroyed his path at Troy - he’s ADHD

Let me simplify it for you. Patriots are good whites. The constitution is good white privilege. Socialism is ebil bleks. Obama is a Kenyan foreign ebil black debil. Blah blah blah.

You skipped all the ED commercials targeted at the broke dick conservacucks.

As nice as this contribution is from the congressman, I think he needs to be garnering support in the halls of Congress to find ways to impose fines and penalties on a news station like this one that is telling more lies each hour than a Trump press conference and faces no repercussions for doing so. If you are a news organization, and I do not care which one is guilty of intentionally lying, you have a responsibility to tell the truth. If you are unable to do that you need to start paying some seven figure fines per lie. If that doesn’t deter the propaganda then shut them down so we can fully engage those whose mind has been warped by literally two plus decades of this channel. I may not agree with the opinions of a person who takes all of this in everyday, but I do think they deserve help. Getting accurate news as well as being able to live a normal life that doesn’t revolve around a cult leader is a good start down the road to normalcy.

There is something deeper going on with the burger lie and stuff like that.  I'd wager a great great majority of their viewers don't believe it, and Fox knows that. But they air it anyway.  It is some signal of being a part of a group or a call to keep fighting or something.  Or maybe it provides comfort that you can count on Fox to have your back even if you express something palpably laughable tooppose the libs.  Something like that. We need some real psychoanalysis: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/e0fcbd09-19ff-41b4-a4e4-568f2bc94365

I said this earlier, or in a different thread, but I think they do it because even the people that don't believe it subconsciously (or consciously) add it to their mental bank of "why I hate the libs".  It's a massive list of lies in their head and they can't tell the difference between truth and fiction now.  It doesn't matter.  It just feeds the machine of hate.

LOL, I love that they're even upset when someone else wears a mask.  Who gives a shit?  Unless that person is committing some crime don't they have the right to wear whatever the fuck they want?  And especially if that garment helps with PRIVACY.  God knows they love them some privacy. 

Fucking idiots - I hope we start seeing stories of idiot far right places having their own covid breakouts / deaths while pretty much all major metros/left leaning cities achieve herd immunity.  Need some more Darwin action.

This may sound stupid, but it's poetically even more insidious than you think. 

I manage restaurants.  We sell a lot of beef products.  There is a shortage on beef right now in all channels.  What they are really trying to do is make this shortage into a policy decision by Biden.

There are multiple supply chain issues in restaurants at this time due to covid, but the deeper lie is to say that beef rationing is happening because the green new deal and/or a policy decision by the current administration.

 

They want their viewers to think we're trying to ban beef,  which they love dearly,  to inspire outrage for the left.  

The truth is there's a shortage, just like there's a shortage on cups. The lie is that it's a leftist grab on something their vacuous viewers love

They literally can’t criticize Biden on anything of merit - GOP can barely figure out a line of attack on Biden’s domestic legislation, ARP/infrastructure are widely popular, economy by their metrics (stock market) is roaring, COVID infections are down and vaccines are up and he’s just not polarizing. 

They have to crank up the culture wars bc trying to run on COVID and the economy in 2022 is bad for them. 

FFS, they’ve given up the fiscal responsibility lie already too bc no one cares/believes them.

banned from twitter for answering someone's question on how the fairness doctrine was constitutional by posting a link to the deciding supreme court case with the idiom "knock yourself out."  apparently that's encouraging self harm to the bots that make these decisions 🤣

can’t remember if it was here or on twitter but there’s video of someone saying if the economy is good during the  midterms, they’re fully ready to credit trump because of course they are.

Not specifically FoxNews related, but a display on the degree of the misinformation campaign that is going on today..

https://www.politifact.com/

I used to love perusing politifact for enjoyment, but now it is just so utterly depressing.

If you read that page 10 years ago it was no near littered with the examples of insanity/sheer volume like it is now.... its pathological.

I don't know who creates their graphics, but that poor soul is a tortured individual.

That poor soul is one of the great artists of our time. One day, when we can properly appreciate its brilliance through the lens of history, Atomic Cow Farts will hang in a gallery as the preeminent example of early-mid 21st aesthetic. It perfectly encapsulates our present cultural state.
