The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
- George Orwell
I’m less concerned with what they think is fake than what they think is real.
In a shocking coincidence, it just so happens that 100% of the fake news is stuff they don’t like and all of the real news just happens to be everything they agree with. Truly an incredibly coincidence.
Not really when you’re always right about everything all the time. I’m not even being sarcastic. This is what they believe and what allows them to believe things like, “anything I disagree with is wrong.”
Ironically, with 71% viewer share, Fox News commands the “main stream” podium. This information is lost on those 71%
Fool. “main-stream” is a synonym for “dissenting”.
Actually I think they want to believe that they are the underdog .
This.
And they’d be right. But not for any of the reasons they think. Or motives they think. Or outcomes they think.
Our media is … what is State Media but controlled by oligarchy instead of government? Does that word exist? It definitely exists in German. But im not sure about English.
Capitalist.
See, the fun thing about English is: if you have a word we need/want, we’ll just take it.
I was gonna say it’s definitely fake. Stories chosen to incite rage or fear.
Capitalist/imperial news is extremely fake, but not how fascists imagine it. They’re actually the recipients of the disinformation dividend.
If Fox News claims to have the highest ratings doesn’t that make them the mainstream media?
Shhh your not allowed to use logic anymore!
Tbf, the media they consume is full of fake news. When challenged, they even say themselves that they are just “entertainment”!
59% of Republicans don’t know which hole to shit out of.
Dems and reps are essentially in two different realities now - what one side consumes to other is fake news. Everything around them is explained and interpreted diametrally different and division increases every day. A lot of blood will be spilled to recover american society from this sorry state.
Republicans should be excluded from any serious conversation on policy. They are not serious and should be taken seriously
Does this include the leftists that know mainstream media is biased though? Because I don’t trust the media to report accurately, however I try to combat that by looking at multiple news sources with varying biases rather than fuckin youtube
I’m surprised it’s that low.
We haven’t talked about Rupert Murdoch enough
This is the roughly 30% of America that is immovable in every Trump poll ever. They are dug in and have deliberately decided to never think critically again.
Then stop watching/reading right-wing media! 😂
