Stelter: Fox News has never seen competition like this in its history

[Lock him up.]

Josef Goebbels's "Repeat a big lie often and it will become the truth" must be proud from his small space in hell...

1. Trump isn't going anywhere to retire in obscurity.

He is going to be trying to stick it to us until the day the Pig dies.

We have to keep an eye on this nutjob and his zombies.

2. Trump started it...

Trump started the whole thing off by "priming" his audience with the idea of "fake news" repeated over and over again.

That allowed him to take precedence over the media itself and pick and choose as he saw fit with him being the sole arbitrator.

Priming and the illusion of truth, (repetition/familiarity) are powerful tactics and he knew that from the start.

4. 30 years of anti-fact, anti-science confusion from the Fossil Fuel industry

11. Bingo! TY! "Follow the $"

Folks don't realize what first led to this.

First appeal to their prejudices, then you've got their minds to follow whatever bullshit you want to feed them.

Rachel Maddow's book Blowout explains that gaining & keeping control of oil and the Fossil Fuel industry in general is the motivation for controlling the message and minds - an easy job given America's gullible population. They already believe things without evidence.

5. I think there might be some good to come of this if fux snooz is damaged splintered

6. It's going to be interesting how they explain Biden's win as fake news as the cameras

show him taking the oath and walking into the White House.

9. "It was rigged" is the new drumpf "birtherism" whining scam on Twitter for the next 4 years...

... unless he's finally held accountable for his State-Law crimes and they confiscate his phone in prison.

7. About bogus "news" organizations ...

I retired six years ago after 45 years working for a newspaper. We had -- and that newspaper still has -- strict policies regarding fact checking and accuracy checking and other ways to make SURE that what we were putting in print is true.

But nowadays, there are entirely too many "news" organizations whose purpose is not to inform and educate the public, but to keep a portion of the public told just what they want to hear. Fox "News" established that precedent, and now those other entities Mr. Stelter speaks of are carrying that to whole new levels of propaganda. It's downright Orwellian.

I hope the Biden administration will recognize this serious problem and address it in some way. Perhaps re-instituting the fairness doctrine or something like it will be a good start.

8. And not bringing charges against people who have violated the law makes the law invalid

10. OMFG!

There's a universe of delusional morons out there and they are dangerous.
