13. I don't understand it

The endless coverage of Trump here is baffling. People are grifting off of the crisis and I don't think we should be supporting that. "Look at what Trump said today!!!" News about that the administration is doing, yes, but presenting their propaganda spiels verbatim - with little or no analysis or fact checking - here every day, no.

MAGA is beating us badly in the information war, and a big reason for that is the amount of unfiltered attention we give them.

The average less than well informed person watching that video would see Green getting the last word and making the more compelling (easier to understand and relate to) argument. they would see Goldman droning on about some obscure legalism, something called "due process," while Green is defending us from horrible dangerous terrorists.

Of course Goldman is right, of source Green is lying. So what? Is anyone surprised about that?
