Yeah people act like the media is a wing of the Democratic party, but there's no way Trump is getting elected in 2016 without their free wall-to-wall coverage of him.

>Rolling Stone has come under fire for sharing a dubious story about rural hospitals in Oklahoma being overwhelmed by those taking the veterinary medicine ivermectin to treat Covid-19 – an unproven treatment.

>If you want to know why Republicans have no faith in news organizations, look no further than the Rolling Stone story shared liberally across Twitter this weekend claiming that Oklahoma hospitals were turning away gunshot victims because they were overwhelmed by “horse dewormer overdoses.”
>Headlined “Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says,” the Rolling Stone story, written by Peter Wade, quoted a Dr. Jason McElyea who claimed, “The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated.”
Some of the opinion pieces on CNN and MSNBC (Maddow etc) are basically left-wing version of Qanon. Whilst FoxNews gets rightly criticized when voicing such nonsense, the more liberal channels get a free pass. It’s wildly divisive and has severely damaged society over the last 5 years. But CNN and MSNBC got their ad-clicks, which I guess is the important thing.
I would love to see examples of anything on CNN or MSNBC that approaches QAnon-levels of derangement.
You can also find the limits on information through polling. Over half of fox News viewers believe that the US government found WMDs in Iraq in 2003. Over half of Democrats believe Russians hacked vote tallies and compromised voting machines in 2016

in a way, Fox news is honest news. They were created (and everyone knows) to report from a "point of view" of the right. The "left wing" media pretend to be the only real/factual news/journalism, but can be just as biased and partisan, if not worse.
The Russia investigation coverage changed my view on the limits and possibilities of propaganda. Have never been more cynical of humanity, or rather, people running the show commonly have the same abilities as the school teacher at the local public school

Well there's the Russians under every bed paranoia Look how they treated Trump from the start. 2020 was the most secure election in American history. 2016 was stolen by secret Russian collusion, that even a multi year long Mueller probe was unable to find any connections or collusion. You can also find the limits on information through polling. Over half of fox News viewers believe that the US government found WMDs i…
Nurses with “see you next week” signs during Trump ralleys and then one week later full 100% support for rallying. Just ad long as the cause is considered politically correct.
There was an article ( oped ) in Nature magazine on these protests that claimef the only covid spread that happening during BLM protests was because some people brought their unmasked children.
Nature magazine wrote that.
Ill try to dig up a link I personally feel it is healthy to have your eyes opened to your own political sides hypocracy.

What exactly do you think Russia's goals here are? Because it doesn't look like they have been achieved. Or made serious progress in them. Presumably those goals involve survival.

There is an unlikely but uncomfortably high chance that US-Russian relations are about to spill over into an apocalyptic nuclear war and the US government have gone cold-war mode and are attempting to remove Russia from the global economy.

They are similar to Italy now and think they still matter, while it's only the nukes that give them some relevancy on the global stage.
