Face the Nation just now boosted this clip from Sunday specifically because right-wing covid deniers are circulating it on the RNC feed and calling for Fauci to be fired. This is how GOP propaganda works: corporate media and bad-faith actors working together for the same goal
The “war on Christmas” false narrative colliding with “fire Fauci” is a right-wing dream that @CBSNews is intentionally fueling
The sole reason @FaceTheNation did this was because they saw the RNC tweet doing numbers and they thought “we can help”
“Dr. Fauci is about to cancel Christmas” is what Fox tells its viewers this morning, and some CBS exec or producer said “why aren’t we getting more credit for this”
They have now written a full article about it — this morning, not yesterday during the interview — solely because Republicans are pushing “Fauci is canceling Christmas” cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-…
They’re promoting the story now because they want the right-wing covid deniers who flood the zone with “Fauci is hitler” to push it out for them
These are the top three tweets for @FaceTheNation ImageImageImage

DEMOCRATS BANNED: @chucktodd once again invited only Republicans onto @MeetThePress

Chuck Todd booked Bill Cassidy to push GOP talking points and refused to have a single Democrat on to balance him

Since Jan. 6 Todd has booked the following Republicans on shows with 0 Democrats ImageImageImageImage
This is how right-wing propaganda works in plain sight:

This week @chucktodd admitted that he prefers Republican newsletters. Then on his top-rated Sunday show he invites a senator who pushed the Big Lie, identifies a GOP operative as an “analyst,” and blames Biden for covid ImageImageImageImage
Meet the Press presents only GOP viewpoints because it’s hosted by a centrist Republican who despises liberals and wants to use his influential platform to let his Republican friends brainwash your family into thinking the GOP is good. He refuses to give Democrats a fair rebuttal ImageImageImageImage

This morning CBS’s @FaceTheNation has booked three Republicans and zero Democrats

One of the Republicans is Ronna McDaniel who pushed the Big Lie and tried to throw out Black votes in Michigan. It’s her second appearance since trying to do so

This is how GOP propaganda works
This show has also repeatedly booked Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s most mendacious Big Liars, in its campaign to erase Republicans’ history of pushing the lie. @CBSNews has endorsed the GOP’s misinformation campaign and faced zero consequences or accountability for it
This is a CPAC lineup laundered through the trusted news brand of a company that is run by Republicans who work every day to make you forget that Jan. 6 ever happened. @margbrennan has assured every Republican who comes on that she will never bring up their involvement

Recently @politico platformed Dan Crenshaw live, pushed GOP BS on Obama’s bday bash, and heralded Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan

Now they’re giving a Trump covid merchant of death:
-angel wings
-free PR for charity work
-a platform for covid/election lies
-attaboys from SEAN SPICER
The URL for the story is “redemption profile” and smashed among 200-word-burst tick-tocks of Michael Caputo totally organically volunteering with children totally 100% organically is the reminder that the guy responsible for killing thousands actually has done nothing wrong
This is a “what I did this summer” essay to warmly present a reality-denier as good because Politico’s new default is trading on its Obama-era legacy as a (once true!) smart behind-the-scenes publication to now rehabilitate Republicans under the mask of “what insiders are saying”

CBS’s @FaceTheNation is the new home of the Big Lie: On Sunday @margbrennan is platforming Brian Mast, an election denier who voted to overturn the results *after* the insurrection

@CBSNews has been hosting election deniers and whitewashing their role in spreading the Big Lie
The media is rehabbing Brian Mast by using Afghanistan to wipe his history of spreading the Big Lie. They ask him to attack Biden and never mention that Mast lied about the election, because they want you to forget he did. @CNN did this yesterday and the @washingtonpost last week
CBS News is currently run by Republicans. One of them is their political director who worked for six Republican senators through 2016 when she was abruptly made the CBS political director with no news experience, because CBS wants you to believe Republicans’ talking points

Politico @playbookdc says Biden can’t be trusted on Afghanistan because for 20 years the government lied about Afghanistan

Yesterday Playbook gave a 25-minute platform to Dan Crenshaw who spread the Big Lie and tried to overturn the election. He didn’t get one question about it
Politico’s pattern of framing Democrats as dishonest but Republicans as trustworthy—in the middle of a misinformation campaign carried out by the GOP—is a remarkably under-covered media story given that when Politico started it was heavily and warmly profiled by big news outlets
Politico, which has no memory of being lied to by Donald Trump for four years:
