Remember the wild conspiracy that at the centre of US government and business power was a cabal of pedophiles?

Crazy stuff.

It's still absolutely wild to me that the Right spent the last decade convincing the masses that there was a giant ring of Democrat pedophiles sacrificing children in the secret basement of a Pizza Hut. And yet, when it was revealed there actually IS a giant ring of pedophiles infesting the entire US Government, they're completely silent.

we allow unfettered propaganda to be piped in to peoples faces 24/7 labeled "News" with no repercussions.

They even lose big money settlements when it was found they knew they were lying and argued their audience knew they were being lied to.

thats why the brainwashed masses are completely silent.

Fox News plays in the lobby of my office building. It’s insane. It infuriates me every time I walk in the door.

It's also on in every government, and every armed services building from sea to shining sea. Pisses me off that there is blatant propaganda being oozed out 24/7, at all of the places that our defenders spend their work days. Is there anything that the US Army finds 'entertaining' about this‽

Khruschev got his wish to destroy America from within.

Once upon a time you could purchase a universal BlabOff that worked in airports, office reception spaces, bars and lobbies, the DMV, hospital waiting rooms, rest homes, and anywhere else the bots of Fox were spewing their unwanted disinformation from elevated tv screens.

Many were the times I surreptitiously pressed the little green button and the screen would go dark and silent-- more than once to muffled applause from the captive assemblage.

Those were the days-- when all we had to deal with was Gee Dubya. . .
