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/ -
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

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. -

The need to control the thoughts of EVERYONE is a hallmark of despots throughout history and a main reason mass killings are a hallmark socialism and communism. They can't survive the light of day or legitimate debate.
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. -
This is a great example of the axiom that whatever the left accuses the right of doing, they are actually doing it. How many El Monte Bros came running to the board to push the lie that the IG report exonerated the FBI? How many of the El Monte Bros pushed the pure bullshit that the Steele Dossier was never used to secure any FISA warrants and that members of the Trump campaign were never spied upon?BearsWiin said:Been thinking a lot about why Trump will survive impeachment when Nixon didn’t.

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. -
