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?
Yeah, objective facts like Kavanaugh really did led a gang rape group and Blassey-Ford was a credible and powerful witness and Jussie Smollett really was attacked by MAGA hat wearing white racists.
The Leftist aphollogizers loosing badly in this thread. They refuse to admit they have been lied to time after time after time. And, they can't understand why the rest of the bored doesn't swallow like they have. It might be a pattern.....
Conservatives are stupid and easily misled by FOX NEWS while leftists are smart as shit and know what's best for you if you would only stop watching FOX NEWS you fucking idiots
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
It’s almost like people flock to a news source that confirms their biases.
But Hollywood!
Fuck dude, listen to yourself. Crying about social media and Hollywood actors.
No I'm not
I'm responding to someone crying about FOX NEWS
Like its 1999 all over again
True then, truer now
Willingly consume right wing shit for 20 years, and you can't be reasoned with because you don't even accept facts anymore

Facts like Russian collusion? You forget the only Russian collusion was between Hillary and the dems.
The MSM was complicit in this entire sham. They promoted the Russia collusion and every other single bullshit story. They do exactly what they were told to do and are lefty owned and run so they happily comply to mince forward comrade.
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.
Funny when the president quotes your news source. That you don't care.

What's hilarious is pointing the finger AT fox news(they are partisan) but then holding up the rest of the media as dedicated to objectivity in this era. You can't see the stick in your own eye.
We've cycled back to the era of yellow journalism where people self select the bias of their news consumption.
Trying to argue it's a one sided affair just shows what a bubble you exist in.

If you ever watched Tucker which is not a news show you'd possibly learn something about how you're being duped by the bullshit.
Your collective insistence on focusing narrowly on Fox News is as silly as your insistence on focusing narrowly on a supposed transcript
it's a lot larger than that
but it doesn't fit your narrowtive
like I said, good talk as always, let's have the same damn convo later
Yeah how dare they focus on Fox News.
Been thinking a lot about why Trump will survive impeachment when Nixon didn’t. For 20+ years Fox News (and rightwing talk radio) has told GOP voters that Democrats are evil. As lawless as Trump is, Republicans believe Dems are worse. That’s the power of propaganda.
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/ Sledog

Epistemic uncertainty
Distrust of institutions
"The media sucks, they're all as bad as the shit I watch, both sides" yada yada
lather rinse repeat
Tucker is more liberal than you are. So am I
Epistemic uncertainty
Distrust of institutions
"What do we really know anyway? So Race's feelings are as good as anybody's facts"
I can explain your whole fucking playbook from those three simple lines
Nobody runs from facts faster than you
I don't have a playbook. Interesting that you feel that. Accusing others of what you do
Fox News bashing is found by the wishbone in the playbook
Nice factual counter argument on your part
You seem upset. Right
"I'm not in a bubble you are!"
"I'm not projecting you are!"
good talk as always
This is your show
