I clicked on a story and then accidentally went to the main page which I haven’t seen in a few years and it’s pretty wild. Like it’s all liberal city this, blue state that, like it’s all just throwing the buzz words in the headlines and not pretending to be any kind of news organization. I would think people would find that like almost offensively pandering. One of the major headlines was an update on that video a month ago of the kid who beat up the teacher over a switch and it’s like it’s just so obvious why that’s a big story for them, it’s just all very on the nose. Maybe. Probably not. Their audience is comprised of right wing reactionaries so those headlines check out. No lies detected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really beyond comprehension how they can get away with calling themselves a news source when it's immediately clear to any person who hasn't been slow boiled for 20 years by their endless stream of nonsensical anger porn that they are not an actual news source. Every story. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Is designed with one purpose and one purpose only. To enrage and anger their audience. That's really it. They don't report on stories, they report on reaction to stories. They didn't have a single fucking actual story about the state reps who were removed from their seats... but they had about 2-3 talking about various people's reactions to the story. If Biden makes an executive order or something, they don't write a story on it and slant it to the right. The story will be "Biden Slammed from all sides for controversial decision" with a photo of Biden looking confused photoshopped in front of a storm of money... and then in the story they will quote 3 or 4 Ted Cruz types and Fox News hosts outrage and then some lukewarm mild statement from a democrat congressperson from Idaho that you've never heard of... and then the comments will be an endless stream vile hate and lies and racists advocating for death in the streets. That's how about half the country gets their news of the world. Don't believe me? Go check it out. I don't care what day it is, what is happening or when... ANY TIME you click on Fox News, you will be shocked by what they are presenting as the most important news of the day. It's like you are watching news from a different alternate universe. My brother in Christ, I’m begging you, stop doing this to yourself. Every time you feel the need to visit a Fox News page, watch a Harrison Ford movie instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud ort for taking one for the team. I know enough of what to expect out of Fox News. Also it feels like an alternate universe because it is. Fox News wants you to think America sucks because of minorities gaining more rights as opposed to favoring the few over everyone else.

Her accomplishments are nothing short of awe-inspiring, with her unique brand of sarcasm and spin that has captivated audiences around the country. Here, we will explore some of the truly "admirable" things Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has done while in office, dripping with sarcasm and irony. One of Governor Sanders' most remarkable achievements is her ability to expertly dodge questions from the press with her well-honed skills of evasion. She has elevated the art of deflection to new heights, leaving journalists scratching their heads in confusion and admiration. Her non-answers and redirections have become legendary, making her a role model for aspiring politicians who seek to avoid accountability at all costs. Her evasiveness is truly admirable, as she masterfully sidesteps even the most pointed inquiries with a smile and a well-timed quip, leaving everyone in stitches - or tears, depending on which side of the political spectrum you fall on. Governor Sanders' prowess in the field of alternative facts is also worthy of admiration. She has an uncanny ability to twist reality into a pretzel, crafting creative narratives that often defy logic and reason. Her ability to confidently spew falsehoods with a straight face is unparalleled, earning her a reputation as a true magician of misinformation. Her imaginative fabrications and blatant disregard for objective truth are truly awe-inspiring, as she fearlessly bends reality to fit her agenda, leaving fact-checkers scrambling to keep up. In addition to her remarkable skills of evasion and fabrication, Governor Sanders has also shown a commendable knack for gaslighting. Her ability to manipulate the narrative and sow doubt in the minds of the public is truly impressive. Whether it's denying the existence of climate change, downplaying the severity of a global pandemic, or dismissing valid concerns about social justice, Governor Sanders can always be counted on to skillfully manipulate reality to suit her political agenda. Her gaslighting game is strong, leaving her opponents bewildered and her supporters nodding in fervent agreement. Another admirable quality of Governor Sanders is her unwavering loyalty to her political allies, regardless of their misdeeds or unethical behavior. She has consistently defended and covered for the actions of her fellow politicians, no matter how indefensible they may be. Her blind loyalty and willingness to overlook glaring flaws in her colleagues are truly commendable, setting a high bar for party loyalty in American politics. Finally, Governor Sanders' ability to turn a blind eye to the concerns and needs of marginalized communities is truly awe-inspiring. Her indifference to the struggles of minority groups, her dismissal of valid grievances, and her unwavering support for regressive policies are truly remarkable. Her insensitivity and lack of empathy are truly an inspiration for those who aspire to be completely out of touch with the reality of everyday Americans. In conclusion, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has left an indelible mark on American politics with her remarkable achievements while in office. Her skills of evasion, fabrication, gaslighting, party loyalty, and indifference to marginalized communities are truly admirable, setting her apart as a politician who is willing to go to great lengths to promote her agenda, regardless of the consequences. Her unique brand of sarcasm and spin has made her a legend in political circles, and her admirers hail her as a true master of the art of deception. While some may view her accomplishments with skepticism, there is no denying that Governor Sanders has made her mark on American politics in a way that will be remembered for years to come” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more baller to understand the quote and not need to use it because its better to explain why someone would use that quote. It implies everyone understands it and I don't think everyone does. Inter-human problems are caused by a lack of communication. Just posting a quote is a sympthom of that. It's not a coincidence how I post and respond to things has changed but the answers are just more detailed. I want to make sure I am understood. When I look at people now.
