This is part of why I just feel so burned out lately when it comes to media stuff. The invention of a narrative and its repetition just consume the entire political right. No amount of fact-checking fixes it. There’ll never be a point where these people go, “Whoops. I was wrong” https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1386445358285344769
And it’d be one thing if it was just them telling their little lies to themselves. But it always spreads beyond that. They’ll insist that Biden is trying to ban hamburgers or some shit, they’ll repeat it, and then someone like Chuck Todd will accept their premise.
And after years of jumping up and down and trying to get guys like Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos to stop doing this only to be treated like an annoyance, I’m at a point where I can’t do it anymore.

Liars will keep lying, mainstream news outlets will keep indulging them.
There is nothing that can be done to make any of this shit any better. Just look at how quickly the people who tried to overthrow the fucking election were welcomed back on the Sunday news shows like nothing happened. I’m sick of it.
