Yes, absolutely. But it goes beyond Fox News. This story can be traced back to the creation of right-wing think tanks, which were founded for the explicit purpose of helping conservatives win the "war of ideas", as former Reagan adviser Murray Weidenbaum once said. 1/
Conservative think-tanks arose from the expectation that conservative ideas deserve the same weight as objective facts. When that didn't happen, conservatives cried "liberal bias" and went off & created their own echo-chambers, with think-tanks as the foundation. 2/
Conservative think-tanks exist to produce ideologically-driven "research" and partisan "knowledge". When the media did not give this "knowledge" the same weight as objective facts, conservatives created their own sources of media to disseminate this partisan information. 3/
Conservatives used this to create the narrative that the mainstream media is corrupted by "liberal bias" -- simply because mainstream media refused to treat partisan information as if it carried the same weight as objective facts. 4/
In doing so, they not only undermined public trust in shared sources of knowledge -- they poisoned our political process by making it impossible to even agree upon a shared set of facts. How can you debate an issue if one side won't even acknowledge that objective facts exist? 5/
Fox News is the vehicle for this partisan information, and they've contributed to the problem far more than any other right-wing media outlet. But ultimately, this is about more than Fox News -- it's about an asymmetric relationship with knowledge producing institutions. 6/
Fox News is successful because of a 50+ year campaign promoting ideological rigidity, hyperpartisanship, & disregard for objective truths as core conservative values. There now exists an entire ecosystem to produce, disseminate, and promote right-wing propaganda as "facts". 7/
And yes, there are left-leaning think tanks and media outlets. But there's nothing comparable to the conservative ecosystem. They literally created an alternative knowledge-producing mechanism & media infrastructure because mainstream media was too objective. 8/
The left controls Hollywood and the major over air networks, the internet, social media, most of cable news and yet those dumb fucking conservatives STILL won't do what we want thanks to FOX NEWS
Jesus Fucking Chryst
Imagine how big a blind partisan hack you have to be in order to believe this garbage. Would you like for me to list for you just off the top of my head the number of times mainstream media treated partisan information as objective facts in the last few years? Are you fucking kidding me? Whatever source you got that garbage from is pushing more propaganda and bullshit than anything I've ever seen on Fox News.
Opposition must be silenced and the next thing you know the knock on the door at 2AM comes
Why are the leftists so damn upset that people vote for Trump anyway? Its bizarre and a failed strategery as always
If you attacked Obama his approval went up among his base. Its quite common really.
All of that bullshit came from their "objective" media. From the lies about the Trump tax cuts to the lies about the spike in hate crimes due to Trump the MSM has pushed all of that garbage and the El Monte Bros were right there to swallow it.
But Hollywood!
Fuck dude, listen to yourself. Crying about social media and Hollywood actors.
I'm responding to someone crying about FOX NEWS
Like its 1999 all over again
I pointed out the advantages the left has and everyone still thinks they are full of shit
Be better or sit out with the bear
FFS some rats are too stupid to know when the shut the hell up.
Now Tommy and the hondobros love themselves some bias and lies. They just assume conservatives are the same. I don’t like to be lied to and I don’t lie to try and make my point. If I get something wrong – I’ll stand up and admit my mistakes. Trump lies. I don’t sit around and defend his lies. Hondobros spent months lying about Russian collusion and defending Schiff’s lies. They lied about the IG report. They defended Comey’s lies. They swallowed for PIPS and barry. They swallow for Biden. Tommy can seek out his confirmation bias because he enjoys lies. Just leave me out of it.
Telling.
Funny when you see a conglomeration of clips from the MSM they all use the same lines word for word basically.
They do the bidding of the dems.
