This is pathetic. Fox News essentially changed a quote of John Fetterman answering a question about the "gun lobby" where he rails at NRA talking points being out of touch. The "lunatic fringe" was in reference to the NRA's extreme positions that are different from gun owners. FOX NEWS TWEET from 9/30/22: "John Fetterman attacked NFOX NEWS HEADLINE from 9/30/22: "John Fetterman attacke There have been plenty of people who have noted over the years that a strong majority of gun owners -- even NRA members -- favor things like stronger background checks.

Tucker Carlson is complaining about (and blaming Biden for) colleges that require COVID vaccinations Image Tucker Carlson has a prime time show, and 2 other shows on the side, and undoubtedly has a budget that dwarfs almost all other people in the industry. Can't he try to answer some of these questions? Image

From an interview earlier this evening, Mike Lindell tells Right Side Broadcasting that he was just told that @BedBathBeyond has dropped MyPillow. He also complains about @slpng_giants. @BedBathBeyond @slpng_giants Lindell circles back, links business losses to "the deep state" and "communism" and to the lawsuit threat from "the machine people" Dominion. (after it cuts out, the host defends the honor of mypillow)

Thread: MyPillow CEO and right-wing fixture Mike Lindell explained his White House visit with right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas (who tweeted hashtag martial law in support of Lindell).

The interview had deranged conspiracy theories, justifications of violence, and more. The interview starts with Metaxas touting Lindell’s supposed “genuine evidence” of foreign election fraud. Lindell says it came out “ten days ago” on Twitter and starts explaining the conspiracy theory.

the thing about watching this terrible show is that there are countless examples of dumb hypocrisy every single night.

and for the record, plenty of legislatures have used gender-neutral language, like ohio here as @bubbaprog has noted. lsc.ohio.gov/documents/priv… @bubbaprog as of 2013 half the states used gender-neutral language governing.com/archive/gov-ge…

but this can get some cheap engagement and that is all that matters

top congressional republicans refuse to acknowledge the election results more than a month after the fact, and the story in mainstream outlets is just basically "welp trump is out of options ok that's all" the trump-focus ends up creating the expectation that things will go back to some sort of "normal" when he's gone. but if you look at the forces shaping gop behavior (that is, right-wing media), it's clear that we're never going back. that's the story.
