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 beyondFox 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 thanFox 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

you must have been a horrible child
Sorry for the salty language does “Mother” not approve of that?
I wouldn’t expect a leech in his 40s-50s to understand the pride of being self reliant and paying your own way your entire life.
It would be as if I was trying to relate to the life lived by an aboriginal in the Amazon forest.

Your second shows a profound ignorance of my work (some of which I know you've seen), and labor in general
but tell me again how self-worth needs to be tied to a paycheck, it's always good for a laugh
and you still can't read, alas
Do you not do anything else in life? JFC
Without reading anything, my guess is the leftists were triggered, built a strawman, went but but but...and basically meltdown down. Amiright?
but tell me again how self-worth needs to be tied to a paycheck, it's always good for a laugh
Said like a guy who has lived off his wife for how many years now? 10? 15? What’s the father in-law think of this “self-worth” speech?
And what work you’ve done, from reading your boasting was what? 20 years ago? 25?
Your father in-law I’m sure thinks his daughter found a winner, a real go getter.
Both of her parents counseled us many years ago to take this course in our lives, so yeah, they're OK with it, thanks for asking
Talked to your parents lately?
