    Lol @ thinking that Democrats watch right-wing news because it's more credible. They watch for the same reasons that my dad, who was lifelong Democrat, watched Fox News: because they can't stand those people and hate-watching is definitely a thing.

    Credibility lmao

    That's exactly what it is. My brother does the same thing, every once in a while he will call me, and rail on for 15 minutes about some infuriating thing he heard on Fox News. I always respond the same way "stop watching it than" but he can't, it's like he's addicted to being outraged.

    Yeah its hate watching plus @Since1980 and @Thump it is useful to get an idea on what the other side is thinking some of the time.

    It's the same reason why Rush Limbaugh had such a large following at his peak: a lot of those listeners were people who couldn't stand what he had to say, but were unable to not listen to him say it. There's money in outrage.

    That is true. Especially on the right, where talking heads have a much larger influence on politics and politicians than on the left.

    Democrats have to flip over to Fox because deep down, they know CNN is either lying to them or keeping them in the dark.

    For example, Don Le'mon's buddy and Democrat darling Avanetti, was found guilty of scamming Stormy, his client.
    Don's top story?
    Crying over CNN's Zuker being "unfaily" ousted for fucking his underling for decades.

    Not one word on Avanetti.

    Avenatti's situation has been covered extensively by CNN news. Don Lemon is an editorialist, like Tucker. He discusses subjects that appeal to him. If you watch CNN only to see Don Lemon as a source for NEWS, you're an idiot.
    Fox NEWS, meanwhile, deliberately doesn't cover NEWS that's politically difficult for the GOP. Like the Capitol insurrection.

    Case in point, this tweet I saw trending on my feed today:

    Most conservatives are about their political agenda, not about telling the TRUTH.
    NPR is just another convenient political target to deflect from the fact that they are the ones who censor news.

    The facts?? Yes, NPR did cover the fact the UK was beginning to drop mask mandates.

    Your link is July, 2021. Covers gatherings. Pre-omnicron.

    @ColiBreh1 's tweet post is Jan, 24th, 2022.
    All mandates removed, including vaccine passports. That's huge.
    But you didn't know that. Your NPR news is different and 8 months old.

    LOL at "insurrection".

    The major story that afternoon was Avanetti. It was not covered by any of CNN's primetime shows. Not one.

    Excuse me but July 2021 is months BEFORE January 2022. So for someone to say NPR didn't cover the lifting of COVID19 restrictions in the UK is a lie.

    So why are you wasting your time & energy with the ones here? As you can clearly see all they will do is post up propaganda in order to "OWN" you (especially you since you seem to be their favorite whipping boy on this site) to counter any facts you post. Anyone else buying their propaganda has already fallen down the far right wing rabbit hole to do any good anyway.......
