    Trump doesnt need to manipulate much. I live in deep red country. They are upset that fox has “completely changed” and they want to go to newsmax instead.

    They are soooo fucking close to getting it. But the propaganda seed has already been planted.

      That is not the insight you think it is. Newsmax is the successor to Fox. What you’re saying is they want to bury their heads even deeper into the fascist propaganda machine.

        I know what newsmax is.

        I also known that this is just enough cognitive dissonance to maybe turn someone…

        Its a matter of “if they can turn on a dime, you can too”.

        I get that they are doubling down. I also get that this is the first disconnect they have had with mainstream media in eight years. And maybe that is my in.

        I understand that it is a small shift, but honestly, its the first shift ive seen in many of them in almost a decade. Ill take it.
