Behold the power of non-stop propaganda and psychological manipulation.

A quarter of Americans believe the FBI instigated Jan. 6.

More than 3 in 10 Republicans have adopted the falsehood that the FBI conspired to cause the Capitol riot.

The list includes more than 10% of Democrats and Biden voters.

How are we going to counter this well-funded and well-orchestrated juggernaut? Are we going to become a country “completely untethered from reality?”

Some more data from the poll shows the effect of Fox "News" on people's misguided opinions -

"The Post-UMD poll finds 39 percent of Americans who say Fox News is their primary news source believe the FBI organized and encouraged the Jan. 6 attack, compared with 16 percent of CNN or MSNBC viewers and 13 percent who get most of their news from ABC, CBS or NBC. The poll finds 44 percent of those who voted for Trump say the FBI instigated the attack."

2/n

mike805,

@AkaSci can we have a category for those of us who don't believe anything we see on TV?

I said ahead of time that Jan 6 was a trap, there would be violence and people who went would be legally screwed. I knew that because the same people who had promoted Charlottesville were promoting Jan 6.
