@w7voa "when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion"

Did this bullshitter never read past Bill Barr's coverup letter?

@NIH_LLAMAS@mastodon.social avatar

@w7voa I listen to NPR radio somewhat regularly and read the news website almost every day.

The number 1 category of problems on the radio is just generally stupid stuff or sometimes shallow coverage, not net to either side.

Web articles are mostly OK, with a few of the typical turdish forced equivalences (which benefits Republicans) you get in most general news sources these days.

The idea that it's gone pinko is a lie/delusion of a pre-burst fascist abscess.

@Teri_Kanefield I don't have a problem with contrary opinions, I have a problem with bringing in people whose political strategy has been to lie about their own opinions and motives. The entire GOP operation, of which she was a leader, does not exist to promote honest ideas.

It's another case of awarding someone with a job when they should be one of the last people on the list.

@Teri_Kanefield Given how much the GOP lies about their own views, this wouldn't even be a way to do that. If a news outfit wants us to know what a gang of notorious liars thinks, we need to hear from a political historian who can tell us what these fascists actually do every time they win a seat.
