you're going to want to argue about it, and I'm not really interested in a back and forth on that. Sorry.


Watch what you want. I was just making a point. The point is this: They're not separate entities


That's it.

The MSM need to stop giving these Republican Senators and Congressmen legitimacy by having them on their shows...they should be relegated to OANN, Newsmax and Fox

I want to see our side on Fox News (like Pete Buttigieg) and theirs on something besides Fox News. This isn't an op-ed where editors would have the responsibility to edit out deliberate lies and propaganda. Johnson should face questioning. Where else would he face it but on mainstream, legitimate media?

I don't see how giving a platform to lies and propaganda with no pushback serves anyone other than the Russians.

Why have both Chuck Todd AND Ron Johnson on the same show?

Just have Marsha Blackburn interview herself. You'll hear the same dialog, and save on personnel costs.

bottom of the screen saying something like...

"Fact check: Joe Biden is the winner of the 2020 election.
60+ attempts to challenge that result have LOST in court."

or

"These claims of Ron Johnson are false and have been disproven.
Joseph R. Biden is the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election."
