    Default Fox News and CNN up to their old bag of tricks...again


    My hats off to Saagar Enjeti and other conservatives like him who refused to get duped by Trump and his Israeli overlords.

    War propaganda worked wonders the last time most Americans got hoodwinked by GWB and the neocons 20 something years ago... difference is this time less effort on an even dumber American populace, more effort to fool us not needed as long as you have millions of mouthbreathers like Baller234, Hey Yo, Chewing, BigKobeFan etc eating it all up no questions asked...if most Americans again fall for these blatant lies, then it's no question we are living in the dumbest nation on earth, easily. No critical thinking skills, at all. Too lazy and stupid to do your own research, again taking what warmongers like Micheal Bolton is serving up hot and ready.

    We truly are a bunch of apes with nuclear weapons, we won't last this century at the retarded pace we're at.

    The public is easily duped by war propaganda, and there's no greater example than the war in Ukraine, where all the Dems had their I stand with Ukraine avatars. The narrative from the media was a simplistic narrative of Putin just randomly, out of the blue, woke up one day and decided to invade Ukraine on that day (though it requires a lot of preparation, can't just be done randomly), and that they want to take the whole of Ukraine with just 120,000 soldiers (need at least a million), and thus we have to send them 175 billion dollars.

    The greatest example for people like me is USAID, which is promoted by the media as a caring humanity aid of the US government, but its main purpose is to destabilize countries by duping their local population into believing that they're acting on their own grassroots impulses, when in reality they are being manipulated by the agenda of those who run the West.

    A great example is Victoria Nuland talking about spending 5 billion dollars, through USAID to do the 2014 coup in Ukraine. You had all these Ukrainian protesting, causing chaos, and eventually a coup.

    You see a similar duping with the left and the Tesla protests. People are suckers.

    People are stupid, (particularly the woke, for example, I see the people in Libya who destroyed their country, leading to open slave markets, to be equal to woke protestors). But yeah, people are stupid and at the same time they're targeted by a sophisticated, government influence that controls the information they see. The real lack of critical thinking is believing that your side is the one telling the truth.

    You're strictly looking at it through the Red vs Blue team perspective, I'm going beyond that. Just a few weeks ago, nobody in Trump's administration was talking about Iran, all of a sudden now we're racing against the clock to deny Iran a nuclear bomb, that doesn't strike anyone as fishy af? No BS meters going off at all? I've said this before, the only thing I supported MAGA on was their no more endless wars, no more meddling in other countries affairs, America first, I think most of us can agree on that but here we are, MAGA getting behind yet another ME intervention, only worse now, we're risking pariah state status to do the biggest terrorist state's dirty work for them, Israel.

    Honestly I am not sure anyone is duped by anything any more. Literally every time I see someone link an MSM it is to call out the article and say fake news.

    If there was one it would be FOX viewers though, that is the only news outlet who's ratings haven't completely tanked into the gutter because they have an old boomer audience that hasn't moved onto streaming yet.

    Comedic timing on your assessment here, just this week here on the board bladed linked to a story in the MSM, not from Fox but CNN, and him, TheMan, heighweight and Retard3 were all duped by by it, none of them even mentioned the idea it could be fake news.

    Fair enough. I was wrong about the "literally every time someone links"

    I really meant more in a thread title sort of way, like if CNN or MSM is the subject itself. I know people link MSM in here all the time, probably every day. I just mean "duped" in that I think pretty much the entire population understands that almost all of MSM is biased and slanted in some way and they are to be taken with a grain of salt. And with the exception of FOX News, all MSM ratings are in the toilet. No one is watching.

    The term "fake news" feels like it's a decade old now. And everyone gets it. We all know news is biased. Everyone under the age of 60 anyway. And ratings have plummeted, both because of chord cutting and because people have had enough. Except for FOX News and I think that is because they have the old people.

    Everyone goes to social media for their info now. That is why Musk bought Twitter. He knew that was a much better source to influence the population. And it is, he can insta-reach millions every tweet, it is significantly more reach than CNN has currently. And he can throw out lots of unpopular political opinions under the guise of "free speech" which MSM can not do.

    That is why you have manufactured news, false flag events, and distractions (like No Kings perhaps?)

    Censorship was not an issue on Twitter? That makes me think you never actually looked in there. The endless amount of whining about that. I think that is a huge part of why Musk thought he can just waltz and appease the population. But now we all see he is just as guilty of suppressing things. But hey you can say the n-word now! Free Speech right?

    No... the argument coming from Left during Covid is that Twitter can do whatever they f*ck they want.... If you have a problem with it, start your own social media platform.

    Now that Elon is doing whatever the f*ck he wants... it's a problem.






    ".... but Elon"
