Russian state TV has begun broadcasting bloviating traitor Tucker Carlson’s pro-Putin rants, with subtitles. That’s right. As Ukrainians die, Russia is using American propaganda on its own citizenry. Carlson’s scumbagery is truly in a class all by itself.
Part of what makes Right-Wing propaganda so effective is that it gives its consumers cover to believe both sides of the political spectrum are essentially the same.

This may come as something of a shock, gentle reader, but it turns out Fox News has been willfully lying and misrepresenting on its airwaves.

The rumblings began before the ink was even dry on Friday’s GOP censure of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger: in the case of this blundering censure, bad publicity might actually be worse than no publicity at all.

While recently deplatformed OAN released a ten minute video breathlessly approving of former President Trump’s January 29th political rally in Conroe Texas, and Newsmax published multiple mini-reports about the rally regarding everything from Trump’s suggested boycotts for AT&T to his promise to pardon January 6th conspirators if he is re-elected president, the highest profile Trump …
In his latest unlistenable televised rant, (and published almost word for word as this nearly unreadable opinion column on the Fox News website), Fox “comedian” Greg Gutfeld rambles irrationally for hundreds and hundreds of words about…*checks notes*…statues?

Charming and heartfelt, from 2016 to 2020 the NBC sitcom The Good Place proved that a loveable dummy (Manny Jacinto), a self-involved approval seeker (Jameela Jamil), an anxious wreck (William Jackson Harper), and an “Arizona Trash Bag” (Kristen Bell) could work together, learn from one another, and, through their collective effort, (and with the help …
