In many ways it seems to me that the best trick was to convince blue collars (the Captain is rife with this) that there is always an equal balance. Rather brilliantly Roger Ailes deeply understood this was the way when he was working for Nixon and took it forward though talk radio and then Fox.
Idiotic Texas Congressman says that government vaccines are a greater crime against humanity than Putin's actions in Ukraine. Of course, it's on FOX. Guess who was the FOX host of the show. GOP Congressman Decries Fauci’s ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ in Same Breath as Ukraine Texas Rep. Chip Roy brought up the war in Eastern Europe on Fox News—then quickly moved on to put the nation’s top infectious diseases doctor in the same category as war criminals. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-c...es-against-humanity-in-same-breath-as-ukraine
Well, you've got to hand it to Putin - at least he did what no one else could do. He cured COVID. Haven't heard anything about COVID in forever. You know, 'cause Science.
While Russia's invasion of the Ukraine has taken the number one news spot; Covid is still number two. Anyone who has been watching the news can see that Covid coverage is still prevalent -- including the reality that the world hit the 6 million death mark this week from Covid-19. Only to the Covid-denying Kremlin fan boys does it seem that Covid is no longer being covered. This is because all of their typical social media & blog disinformation sources have switched to pushing pro-Putin propaganda rather than Covid misinformation.
Of course it is on FOX... ‘Russian Forces… Were Too Gentle’ on Ukraine, Says Former Trump Official, Who Calls Zelensky a ‘Puppet’ https://www.mediaite.com/tv/russian...r-trump-official-who-calls-zelensky-a-puppet/
Now that Russia is locked out of the US financial system, how are Republicans going to get campaign contributions?
What's fascinating is how GOPers who live and die by their First Amendment rights (KKK, anyone?) glorify a dictator who would squash them like a bug if they said anything he didn't like. As an aside, Russia apparently has gun laws that Republicans would never agree to: Russian citizens over 18 years of age can obtain a firearms license after attending gun-safety classes and passing a federal test and background check. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_c...ges-,Overview,well as for collection purposes. And yet, you can just feel the Crazy Right's love for Putin.
