24. Goes to show. Something has to be done about right wing propaganda media.

Seriously ridiculous to think that she has any special access to "the truth". This is brainwashing plain and simple. You get the same talking point from any right wing MAGA idiot. Conversely, from the Democratic side you get nuance, you get disagreement with certain information and policy approaches, you get argument with evidence and well thought out points.

We have always had disagreement politically. We have always had crackpots. The emergence and consolidation of right wing media however, has created a situation where a sizable portion of the population lives in a fantasy world devoid of facts and rationality. There is not liberal media, equivalent, there is certainly no leftist, or radical left equivalent. There are to be sure, leftist media outlets, but they are insignificant in the scheme of political discourse. As much as I enjoy the occasional Mother Jones article, or watching a Bread Tube video, they are insignificant and not coordinated for propaganda at all.
