It’s frustrating that there is no penalty for the outright lying and conspiracy mongering by right wing media. This is different from getting things wrong based on what a reporter knew at the time…it’s really just making things up. Print reporters that do that lose their jobs, as do reporters on other media, but in the right wing world it doesn’t matter as long as the lies can be used as propaganda by Republican politicians to stay in power. We’ve even seen this kind of reporting show up in Supreme Court arguments and decisions.
Freedom of the press is one of the greatest things we have, but when that turns into Tucker Carlson spouting Russian propaganda there’s a problem.
A bit of projection about Hillary Clinton wanting to use covid19 to deepsix the economy to hurt Trump’s reelection chances, since Republicans are doing their best to prolong the covid pandemic and all of the side effects from it to hurt Biden’s presidency.
Well, something that starts with the letters h-o-r-s-e-s-h, certainly.
Also – pro tip – when Geraldo Rivera is acting as your voice of journalistic sanity and moderation, you need to see about getting your meds adjusted, pronto.
Same old crap from the nut jobs who call themselves QAnon. Any political movement/party that embraces this level of crazy are grasping losers. Truly pathetic but I guess it is all they have left.
In the QAnon universe, people like Hillary Clinton and George Soros are unbelievably busy.
Their days are filled with funding immigrant caravans, being hanged at Guantanamo Bay, running child sex rings in the basements of basement-less pizzarias, paying people to protest former President Donald Trump’s election.
The idea that someone might actually be quietly doing work, in the public interest even, instead of constantly chasing after publicity and attention, is literally unimaginable to these sad specimens. If we haven’t “heard from” someone whose job title does not include “spokesman”, that obviously means something nefarious. What is he hiding??!?
