There is zero difference between Fox News and Russian state news.  Seriously, look at the shit they’re saying.  It’s identical.

I like to think I can relate to human beings in a peaceful way. I listen to folks every single day and sometimes I feel too much of people’s pain and suffering. My main mission in life is helping others on the road we all travel on and just listening to folks. I feel empathy for the people who are really going through it in life. I have studied enough history to know how being the opposite turns out for those who want to willingly do harm to others.

With that said, the cretins at fox are scum. They are absolutely, positively the worst of the worst in our country. Day after day after pitiful day these traitorous clowns weaponize the masses with blatant lies and disinformation. To say I wish the worst upon them and anyone in their orbit is an understatement. How many of those 77 millions idiots that voted for the most hateful person to ever be our president watch the nightly propaganda shows? How many of them got brainwashed by that channel? Dwight Eisenhower is rolling over in his grave right now.
 

I do not feel bad for the people that voted for that moron. They will get what’s coming to them. However, the greater sin is these scumbags leading people astray with lie after verifiable lie. They took many of our parents, brothers, sisters, friends and associates and completely brainwashed them with nothing but lies and telling them this orange buffoon is the only one that can save the country. I will forever be upset for what they did and there are not enough bad things that can happen to them to make up for the damage they have caused to the country and the world as a whole.

My whole fucking family. It’s like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. They’re all pod people now. Even my mom. She watched some tv when I was a kid but not much. She used to refer to it as “the instrument of the devil.” Now she’s a Fox News junkie. (Or Newsmax when FN doesn’t provide the fix she craves.) I tried to get her to watch other sources of information. I told her to watch PBS News Hour. She tried it. She said it was “boring.” (You’re not supposed to find the news entertaining, Mom.)

She doesn’t want information. She wants affirmation. She doesn’t care if they lie to her. She wants them to tell her what she wants to hear. She’s an addict.

The youngs aren’t much better apparently.  I’m not sure why we expected a generation raised on social media to be critical thinking, compassionate people though.

Critical thinking….no. But compassion for others comes in all different forms.

If Huey Long and Edwin Edwards were alive today, they would take what Watters said as a personal insult.

That might be the absolute dumbest thing ever said on Fox News. I am speechless.

We live in a timeline where the GQP is holding up Louisiana as the gold standard for non-corruption and waste.

Thread title should change. "Fox News Worked"

 

There was only ever one reason this network existed. Anyone that watches that shit and doesn't immediately realize it is clearly stealing air. 

Greenland purchase proposal by Eisenhower in the 1800s?

Invade Canada?

Louisiana the model of honesty and transparency?

 

Sad part is I will hear all these talking points from my inlaws this weekend. I have just started telling them that what they say is the stupidest shit I have heard since I last spoke with them. They are so gd dumb they don't even react. They just keep spewing whatever they heard that week. 20 years in and I honestly don't give a fuck what they think of me anymore.

When I was a little kid and heard about corrupt governments/officials in the world, my naive, uniformed self thought, at least there is no corruption in the US...well except for in Louisiana. No joke.

Dystopian books we had to read in school like 1984 always seemed so weird to me at the time.

Doublethink and Newspeak seemed like ridiculous concepts. How would that even work? How can you get society to accept conflicting ideas as both true? How can we dumb shit down so much that absolute falsehoods can be accepted at face value? That can’t happen.

But here we fucking are…..

Indeed @Brisketexan

What a time to be alive.

As someone with a significant portion of family from Louisiana, I can assure you they are quite proud of their history of corruption. Huey Long is a gotdamn treasure.

I think every MAGA in Louisiana even did a double take on that.

honestly this is the playbook since Jan 1993 with Rush Limbaugh holding down the fort before Fox News was even off the ground. It accelerated with Fox dominating the mainstream broadcast news industry in the decades since.

He’s lasted on there longer than I imagined, figured some sexual harassment charge or just low ratings would’ve done him in by now.

He probably needed a sexual harassment charge to get the job interview in the first place.

Fantastic NY Times story. SIAP.  I don't understand all of the stuff about trusts etc ... That's way above my paygrade. But if it results in the dissolution of the Murdoch media empire, I'm all for it.
