Just a thought but if a prominent conservative/Republican says something it is already out there. I get you’re worried about amplification but we can’t ignore this stuff and hope it just goes away. That’s what libs used to do w Limbaugh and it didn’t help. Expose, mock, deride.
“Ignore Limbaugh he’s not worth your time” was a liberal goto for decades. In that time he seeded poison and venom on the right, motivating millions of voters with crackpot ideas and bullshit we had no clue about. Ditto Fox News. It was a strategic error.
In an idealogical war ignoring what your enemy is up to is a bad move.
Exposing what conservatives do/say won’t shame the right but it helps to motivate the left and counteract their nonsense.

Conservatives making “the FBI is trying to stop school board meetings from becoming the next NRA powered mass shooting scene” into “Biden is trying to cancel parents” is quite a feat.
Do folks get that this what this is about? Fox has been pushing this on them for two weeks now.
This is why I preach liberal awareness of Fox so you have some idea what the hell nonsense the leaders of the GOP are telling millions of people
Joe Biden is out here trying to do his best Joe Chill and create the next generation of superheroes and Republicans want to stop him. #CancelTheWaynes#CancelKrypton#CancelMustafa
If democrats were as unified and dishonest as the right they’d argue that Trump’s trade war caused the supply chain problems and Republicans are to blame for canceling Christmas
The key here though is to just come up with a story to tell people. You can be 100% truthful when doing so, but you gotta tell a story of some sort.
Conservatives tell their supporters a story. Sometimes liberals do it too (Obama’s path to the presidency, Russian election interference) but it’s so infrequent.
i guess im a first amendment absolutist type and many liberals dont agree with that a lot of the time. bad speech should still be free. its part of the price we pay.
a big part of my career and personal life has been fighting against fox news, which is a cauldron of evil. and yet i would still argue fox has a legal right to say what they say. they should be opposed at very loud decibels. but theyve got a right to it. just like kkk.
i dont want the govt ever in a position to define what "news" is and who is allowed to give you news. ever. you might feel good if its joe biden doing it, but what about when its donald trump or george w bush? and tbh i wouldnt want joe doing it.
