Why is Twitter Trending topics like #HadEnoughTrump and #RiggerInChief!? Sooooooo unfair. Why are bots & fake accounts being silenced just because they are tweeting 3,000 times an hour from a small office building in Macedonia? V. Putin told me the plan would work again in 2020!

(6,448 posts)In FEBRUARY 2011, when the teachers and nurses protested Gov. Walker's eff-up, FOX News showed rioting in the streets of Madison with palm trees lining the streets. The average temp there in February is in the low 20s.
It was the LA response to the Rodney King beating that they showed.

(28,349 posts)Fox likes to screw with reality, just to make it fit their agenda.
Quite a few times when a Republican Congressman would get in trouble, Fox would label him in the cyron as: McConnell (D-Ky). I don't know if they still do that, but I wouldn't doubt they still do. Their viewers don't know a McConnell from a Schumer, but they do know the difference between the R and the D.
