I actually have some cynical respect for people like Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones who flat out admit they are lying and no one with a functioning brain should believe them, yet still have a blindly-loyal fanbase.

It takes an especially skilled conman to tell you he's lying and you still believe him.

I've done it a couple of times, but those people were idiots.

It amazing how many seem to be perfectly fine with the MSM deciding for you what information you get to receive.

That's the way it's always been. Every news organization uses editorial discretion to push out the news it chooses to. They won't talk about things that make their funders look bad and for the partisan ones, they don't talk bad about their side. That's our corporatized news. That's capitalism.

The cult-like mindset is indeed rather disturbing. Even when there's overwhelming evidence that followers are being blatantly grifted --- many choose to remain willing victims of said grift.

Is this about the 68,000 falsified signatures in Michigan? Because the most mainstream news channel doesn't have shit about it online (after a cursory search).

What would a news organization look like that WOULDN'T/COULDN'T decide for you what information you get to receive--from their own news products?

Who would decide then? Should Billionaires, politicians, comedians, and televangelists assign and edit stories for them?


So far, this just sounds like a complaint that news organizations exist at all outside the RWNM.

Quote:Clinton was not supposed to be the object of the Sussmann trial, because Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, issued a series of orders limiting the scope of the trial and its evidence. The orders were viewed as “spar[ing] the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee … potential embarrassment.” 

Until I know BY WHOM orders limiting the scope of the investigation were viewed as sparing the Clinton campaign, I'd stop short of calling this "information," let alone "key." That the judge was an Obama appointee doesn't really help readers who don't think mention of appointment is enough to explain legal behavior.  It MAY matter that a judge is "a Mexican," but the mere mention should not stand as explanation.

Same goes for references to the Steele Dossier as "the basis of the Russia collusion investigation."

And the claim that bringing an actual investigation into communication between a Trump.org server and a Russian Bank was "successful disinformation."
