    My favorite part of the Dominion lawsuit was all of the internal messages showing Fox News hosts willfully lying to their viewers. Nearly all of the conservative ragebait is people being facetious with reality for political purposes.

      That was my “favorite” part as well, it shows that it’s all propaganda and they’re knowingly lying to people. They’re misleading the American public, fomenting dissonance and fueling conspiracies for a paycheck.

      The J6 insurrection wouldn’t have happened if not for these people. A million dead from a respiratory virus thanks in-part to their anti-mask, anti-science rhetoric wouldn’t have happened if not for these people. They’re propagandists, grifters and confidence artists, nothing more; they’re bad people who are a net-negative to society. Frankly they’re dangerous and there should be consequences for knowingly lying and pretending to be a news source.

      Also the messages that have come out from Trump staffers showing they knew the ‘stolen election’ thing was total BS… but many went on to publicly support the idea.
