Fox Noise is nothing but propaganda.  Their propaganda is killing people and destroying our democracy.  January 6 happened because of their propaganda campaign.  If people post and spread it, I am going to point it out.

By all means, show me one of my posts in which you think I'm spreading Fox propaganda.

Fox News obviously has an agenda so I do think it's propaganda for the Republicans.  I think you have called other news liberal propaganda as well.  It's very clear that it's Republican and anti-Biden and very anti-Harris.  They twist stories and make sensational headlines out of stories that really aren't all that important.   Right now their headline story is the Democrats that have tested positive for covid.  Yesterday it was that Harris went to the doctor.  

I do think this is a newsworthy story, but not the most important when covid cases are rising and places like Arkansas is strained and Florida reported 45,000 new cases last week.  

My question would be were they vaccinated and are they sick with symptoms?  

My guess at this time if you take 50 people at random, vaccinated or not you'll find covid positive patients.

While I do think sometimes you echo some of that propaganda (Biden being demented, the border crisis)  it's not a fair statement "Yes, with every post there is nothing but Nut News propaganda."   You don't often use Fox News as a source (I probably do more than you).  You post how you see the world and that should be respected.

Funny with their antivaxxer stance that Murdoch got vaccinated in England first chance he got, ???. 

Anyone wants to bet the cradle of hypocrites like Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham etc pulled every illegal string they had to also get one? It was reported that they were obsessed with having the studio cleaned and sanitized and people tested who were around them! What's incredible is that their viewers are so thick, that they would probably argue that point?

I really just don't get how people are attracted to blowhards and attention seeking people? I actually have physical recoil like goose pimples and contracting stomach muscles the instance I meet such people. My brain INSTANTLY lights up 'DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!! No conscious calculation just autonomic,' HOW MUCH GRIEF HAS THIS PERSON CAUSED TO THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM? You can bet your life savings that they have repeatedly caused distress to everyone who associates with them!

Not trying to offend anyone but I have always been fascinated by Nazi Germany and other dictatorships and when I look at the Trump era and how as an American, so many of my own people can succumb to such a weak man. 

My evaluation of Germans in the Nazi era was just how weak, desperate and impotent they must have been to want such a pitiful man to save them. I shudder when I think of current Trump's supporters and just how desperate, weak and impotent they must feel to want change! 

Liberals want others incl themselves to have choices because we are strong and confident  in our present situation and our futures. We don't want radicalism because we are content and confident that we can adapt if necessary and prosper. Republicans, are the exact opposite! They are so discontented and bleak that they blame others and endanger themselves to force change! So insecure that women, minorities, immigrants, LGBT, even their own children threaten them. It's the reason they don't travel or explore or welcome new ideas. It's too intimidating because they haven't the knowledge or experience to cope if something crops up! 

Do you have any idea how insignificant and impotent you must feel to blame an immigrant for your woes? English is probably not their first language, in a strange country and culture and starting from scratch and republicans feel less than them! You only blame when you feel like a victim! Strong, confident people have no need to blame! 

Then you look at the demographics for Trump's supporters and it makes complete sense. Evangelicals..... looking elsewhere for salvation and help! Coal, steel, rural areas.... job losses? Not enough ability or imagination to make a change in your life? 

Entertainment and pastimes... facebook and Twitter etc limited information, headline news? No research necessary. No fund of knowledge to contrast or rely upon for context! Pitiful, really! 

It makes so much sense!

Once people use terms like MSM, I have to take everything else they say with a grain of salt because they echo a mantra of the brainwashed crowds and are indiscriminate in their sources of information (when they actually SEEK information).  There are plenty of literate conservative sources out there but they use any quote they can find from anywhere without questioning who is dispensing rubbish and who is actually objective.  But Beerman I did notice that you stepped up one of your recent sources with the WSJ instead of redneck resources.  Keep it up.

So which party do you think these guys vote for?

Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin! 

Private equity fund takes over company and lays off everyone and takes the jobs to Mexico! 

So how many of those workers do you think vote republican and how about the private equity fund? But I bet those workers might be thinking differently, now? Or will they? The union is fighting for their jobs but how quickly will they forget that it's the Dems who supports the unions? 

My suggestion would be to call for Rudi Guilliaini to come in and gas them to death ???????. Comm'on, you guys know Rudi is the real reason for climate change ?????

This is the related stories under your post.  A brief history of the Republicans agenda to many people poor for the benefit of the plant owners.  But I don't "blame" the plant owners for moving to keep an industry afloat .  That was be asking too much to eliminate the Greed is Good slogan!  I see it as a problem of overpopulation where the numbers of people have outstripped what the economy has to offer.  That is a bleak assessment but I don't see any positive alternatives for excessive people.  This is a part of the country where people still have large families and they suffer all the disadvantages of life that ensues - expensive housing, expensive food, unable to afford products made in USA,  etc..  My heroes are the good-hearted souls who will sacrifice to keep their business in the US but there's not a lot of that going around.  Capitalism run amok but that's the Republican agenda in Wisconsin.  Don't make the school systems too good, either because people will rebel when history lessons aren't distorted anymore.

Open Gate Equity does that to small to medium sized companies...they suck all equity out of the American business and move what survives offshore. They got a huge Trump tax break and they are considered job creators...don't you know. 

Meanwhile, Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson spent 4th of July in Russia in 2018 and has been a fount of Russian propaganda ever since.  Wisconsin republican voters are really owning the liberals with their votes, aren't they?

Did you read this last year...

Panama Papers? What do you want to bet that he and his fellow republicans that went now have offshore accounts being filled by Putin? 

The problem is that they are now compromised in the worst way and who knows what committees they will be on in the future feeding info to the Russians! They are a danger to everyone!

So only Tucker Carlson and Ingraham are really holding out at Fox Noise now re Covid vaccines. Even Hannity is on board now. 

Wonder how many people they are responsible for killing though before revelation occurred?

Someone once said, That real peace is not just the absence of conflict, but it's also the presence of justice! 

We are batting two for two. Conflict with science, scientists, politics, common sense, and Justice. 

On Rachel Maddow last night she said five of Trump's cabinet members were referred to the Justice Dept for improprieties, latest being Wilbur Ross. All of them are known criminals with crimes incredibly obvious. Trump's justice dept passed on all them! 

Let's see if Garland and Biden's justice dept are going to pursue these matters. I doubt they will.

The American DOJ is not known for swift justice for wealthy and powerful people.  We are better known for dragging out the process and allowing the guilty to live out their lives in all the comfort that wealth and position can get you. Our justice is swift and severe for the poor and working classes.  The wealthy classes have different standards for accepting behavior.
