Of course, they are. They know their plans to turn the US into a fascist dictatorship were in peril ever since their rapist leader suffered 34 felony convictions
If you consume right wing media, you just want to be lied to
Conservatism itself is a deceptively edited version of reality. Without lies, they’d have no platform.
There’s enough historical precedent to jail Trump and everyone in his orbit today, if someone would have the courage to just do it.
“[An] enormous damage, [an] incredible damage, is done to the public, by completely misinforming them as to the character of the decent public servant, and also misinforming them as to the character of that man in public life who is an unworthy public servant.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
I am sure that it makes Russia very happy
They spread deceptively edited videos because they have no valid reasons to give to voters for supporting the GOP candidate who is a Convicted Felon with fascist plans and prone to very embarrassing “gaffes.”
The GOP can’t run on policy, it can’t run on trumps accomplishments, it’s can’t run on what they want for the future of this country so this is all they have really….
Because they are getting desperate. They need to make Biden look worse than Trump. Trump is a mess now
If done knowingly / with intent to deceive, should be illegal.
Cause they are lying liars who lie.
remember those old drunk George Bush videos? its incredibly easy to just make really small changes, like cropping or slowing, and tell a completely misleading story with the edited video
I used to think that Republicans were just more conservative and religious, so I accepted their general denial of reality and dismissed their lying rhetoric as basic stupidity. Now I know they are disingenuous liars taking advantage of stupid people, and that pisses me off.
Yesterday my 80+ year old neighbor was going on about how Biden wandered off to an empty field. She continued about how he has lost his marbles. I hadn’t heard of the occurance until that evening, turns out it was edited footage to make it appear that way and it was spreading all over social media like a wildfire. She is convinced the orange guy is better and that she is well informed because she follows 5 different right leaning channels.
why wouldnt they? once upon a time, before the constant video posting, there was a *first* time.
they nervously posted an edited video and never ever got in trouble. since then they have realised they can literally run the whole playform that way. their voters dont even for one second think “maybe i should google that and verify”
Why can’t there be a class action suit against the media outlets that consistently lie? I would start with ones like Breitbart. I feel like they don’t have that deep of pockets
Once again they do the exact thing they claim the other side is doing.
The flip side is it requires no editing so showcase Trump being a moron
They’re trying to keep the focus off Trump’s brain turning to mush in real time
Projection is strong with them
But they won’t talk about their own candidate who is on the decline.
Wow you have to wonder why they have to doctor videos of someone who is so “OBVIOUSLY DEMENTED”
“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”
What “right and moral” cause is being advanced by the Republican Party in 2024?
Of course they’re deceptively editing videos. It’s a conspiracy to seize power.
Well. One party wants America to be a right wing Christian non democracy, and the other wants democracy. It’s a pretty easy choice.
Isn’t that just another day at FOX News?
Can confirm.
I just spent a weekend at my parents’house (80’ish, each) and though my dad flips through all of the daily news programs, he is partial to fox news and fox business. Listening in from another room of the house on Tuesday, I bet I heard more than an hour about Biden’s ‘mental struggles’. Absolutely nothing was directed towards trump and his recent diatribes towards sharks or battery powered boats, etc.. Not one word.
Sad thing is, they live in NC and my mom is horrified about the lieutenant governor running for governor (R) who’s an absolute monster based on the commercials the Democrats are running.
I wish the Dems would flood the zone about trump and everything going on around him now.
