The followers of 45 still believe the lies they spread about babies being sold out of a pizza place. So why would they believe the truth when the lies fit into their narrative so well. When they can’t buy food, they won’t believe that 45 caused it. They have denied everything that is true so far.

minnesotaboy.bsky.social•170 days ago

Who’s getting Trump on camera to talk about this?

cplourde.bsky.social•170 days ago

Can you name a Republican whose status was idecreased by lying, or increased by telling the truth?

As a rule of thumb: Republicans who tell the truth get RINOed out of the party.

ghostdansing.bsky.social•170 days ago

everybody knows fox news is a republican information warfare outlet. they lie all the time. just sayin'

kdhero.bsky.social•170 days ago

Unfortunately it's too late. It won't change anyone's mind. That's the reason they come up with so many wild conspiracy theories. The people who want them to be true will never be swayed.

Thank you. I unsubscribed awhile back.

I was given a year long subscription (as a thank you present) a while ago by a (recently departed) friend and can’t bring myself to cancel it, so I share gift articles as much as I can

freebirdie710.bsky.social•170 days ago

That’s very kind. I’m sorry for the loss of you’re friend 💙

debkat.bsky.social•170 days ago

Oops. I went to read it but it wanted me to enter my email to subscribe. But thanks for trying.

debkat.bsky.social•170 days ago

Thank you! I truly can't afford to subscribe to every newspaper online that I would like to, so this is truly appreciated.

draudreyglover.bsky.social•170 days ago

No problem.
Also, if you search on phrase gift article and use “latest” tab you often find what you want

noupside.bsky.social•170 days ago

There is actually a whole Gift Links feed on here - check feeds

draudreyglover.bsky.social•170 days ago

There is and I’ve posted that detail before

debkat.bsky.social•169 days ago

Oh! Thank you very much!!

jsbooth.bsky.social•170 days ago

Neither of these stories will get a second of airtime on Fox. Doesn’t fit what they’re selling.

litterygeniarse.bsky.social•170 days ago

Imagine if retractions were handled as I suggest below.
And fines levied.

johnmahony.bsky.social•170 days ago

Learning this and publicizing this in September would have been far more helpful than learning it in December.

pbump.com•170 days ago

What if I told you I wrote about this stuff in 2022 and 2023?

johnmahony.bsky.social•169 days ago

I know you and many others did. Too bad some people didn’t want to listen.

sandpiper17.bsky.social•170 days ago

What about MSNBC, Philip? I.e. Katie Turr, Andrea Mitchell, the worthless morning, team, etc. They are as complicit as Fox News as far as their former viewers are concerned.

halfpint.bsky.social•170 days ago

Oh hell,do ya think!!!!!

ulisesr.bsky.social•169 days ago

Will the Fox News audience learn this though?

We can be right all we want, but unless they know too, it’s kinda pointless.

(I also like to say “I told you so” but that’s just me🤷‍♂️)

dbc105.bsky.social•170 days ago

They still will not admit that Russia, russia, Russia was true and validated by not 1, not 2 but 3 Republican lead investigations. That didn't stop them lying about it.

codewizard.se•170 days ago

They will just claim this report is fake and move on.

jackiechoix.bsky.social•170 days ago

Why bother pointing all of this out, especially now? And why did it take until after the election to be released? The people in the Fox Bubble will be so surprised when the cruel and punishing policies starts to affect them.

yousefancypants.bsky.social•170 days ago

It's a legal document

birdynumnum.bsky.social•170 days ago

nah. they'll blame it on immigrants, liberals and trans people.

browncoat007.bsky.social•170 days ago

Really? A WaPo reporter throwing shade at Fox News? Really? You guys couldn't even give an editorial about Biden. Give it a break. I appreciate you, but save the sleights. Crooked is crooked.

thespinzone.com•170 days ago

I'm again, so confused because over at the other place they're saying "SEE we TOLD you the FBI was there to incite violence!"

rewdawakening.bsky.social•170 days ago

You didn’t vote for Trump due to immigration or inflation as both are lies. You aren’t entitled to another opinion. You are a racist, bigot. The end. Your god is hollow! Your faith is empty. Sit down. Know your place. You have nothing to say … WE TOLD YOU SO! https://www.npr.org/2022/06/02/1102621352/how-the-southern-baptist-convention-covered-up-its-widespread-sexual-abuse-scand

adriana1o5.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’ve been cruising Bluesky checking the feeds of the biggest pearl clutchers over the Hunter pardon and so far, haven’t found jack shit for reactions.

Maybe, just maybe (!!) before they judged everyone who approved of the pardon they could have acknowledged that it WAS all bullshit to begin with.

curtgebers.bsky.social•170 days ago

Any reality that doesn't hit Trumpsters squarely in the mouth or the wallet will be entirely dismissed by them.

"Falsehood will fly, as it were, on the wings of the wind, and carry its tales to every corner of the earth; whilst truth lags behind; her steps, though sure, are slow and solemn, and she has neither vigour nor activity enough to pursue and overtake her enemy…" --Thomas Francklin (1787)

stuadel.bsky.social•170 days ago

Bet you whatever amount you want and I will give you 20 to 1 odds that Fox, Newsmax, OAN, and the rest will never apologize and fix the record and all so called liberal media won’t say a word!!! Not 1 word…

Of Fox News reports the IG findings……it goes against everything they have been peddling for years now……theirs is NOT news……it is ego stroking

roslynn.bsky.social•170 days ago

WHT THE HELL does the truth take so damn long to come out?

jmoreau.net•170 days ago

I mean the fucking Washington post lets this shit go on without calling out Fox?! It’s not right wing media that’s the problem. It’s the chickenshits at the storied “sane” journalism behemoths.

jmoreau.net•170 days ago

The frustrating thing is we all fucking knew that. There just wasn’t any bravery amongst the corporate media to shout it from the roof tops.

turk1820.bsky.social•170 days ago

They will keep spreading the bullshit, because it “feels” true to them.

rickchancellor.bsky.social•170 days ago

The only time I remember Fox admit wrongdoing was in a court of law forking out millions so I’m not holding my breath waiting on a retraction.

All they have are lies, fraud, grifts & intimidation.

rhodyrebel.bsky.social•170 days ago

Doesn’t stop Elon Musk’s new beetch, JD Vance, from pushing it anyway. Why not? OH voters bought into his Haitian pet eating lie that voters were willing to believe in exchange promises of lower food prices come January. Turns out, that will
prove to be a lie also. Trump has already said so.

ombombadillo.bsky.social•170 days ago

Lovely timing.

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•170 days ago

If Fox were concerned with the truth, they might be embarrassed. Clearly their business model is to profit off the obsessed MAGA crowd who believe anything Trump or Fox put out. Smart from a business perspective; bad from a truth perspective.

bradkmn.bsky.social•170 days ago

No doubt Fox will prominently feature retractions on tonight’s broadcasts.

bizbodeity.bsky.social•170 days ago

They won't be chastened because they won't be reporting it.

plains.bsky.social•170 days ago

If only anyone read the Post anymore. It’s just another sad billionaire’s rag. Got an offer today to pay $24/ year for WaPo. Nope. How bout WaPo pays me. Not even then. Fox News & WaPo share one weird thing in common

1gregtodd.bsky.social•170 days ago

Bet Fox doesn’t even mention it

dkremn.bsky.social•170 days ago

They will never air it.

fermissocks.bsky.social•170 days ago

No no. The FBI totally did Jan 6th, but also those people were patriots who need to be pardoned. /s

familyfarafield.bsky.social•170 days ago

rlb-21.bsky.social•69 days ago

Right, I expect to see Fox do a thorough retraction, somewhere around 2:20am between infomercials for instant weight loss pills and cryptocurrency get rich quick schemes.

phaseblowly.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’m sure your media colleagues on the White House and Capitol Hill beats will completely ignore this context when they’re chasing the next shiny bullshit story being seeded (screamed about) by the never chastened Fox News et al.

kdneedles.bsky.social•170 days ago

Chastened, not likely, but even less likely is that Fox will report these things.

guyintiedye.bsky.social•170 days ago

The problem with these reports coming out is that the people who already believe the lies will not change their minds in the face of new facts. (Which is comical because their opinions weren't based on facts in the first place...) I'm sure this'll just be touted as more "deep state" BS. Sad.

goaloa.bsky.social•170 days ago

After all this time both stories are baked in.
Oh well.
C’est la vie.

lightthepower.bsky.social•170 days ago

Republicans must have gotten memo from their Russian buddies advising them to use words beginning with “B” for their fake scandals against Democrats. “Benghazi” “Burisma” :)

And nobody’s talking the kushner 2 billion and Khashoggi much as Burisma. Im tired of MSM really. Soooo fucking tired.

lightthepower.bsky.social•170 days ago

I have not watched MSM in many years. Time is too precious to waste on their talking heads. Thankfully we can get quick & accurate news from reliable sources posting here on Bluesky vs propaganda and/or narrative driven by capitalistic priorities. Take care.

Any minute now Susan Collins will confirm they’ve learned their lesson.

proftinkerbell.bsky.social•170 days ago

Communicating such information is the problem. Fox will not mention it, nor will other right wing channels, Sinclair networks etc. This is how we got where we are.
They will continue to live in "Biden crime family" "feds did Jan. 6" world.

It would be like telling Christians you found no evidence that Jesus existed

They just don't believe it and they keep their faith

Lol! The magats will still believe! Everybody hates trump so it is all made up stuff is getting old magats. Up your intelligence factor or go down with trump! Because he will go down. A crook belongs in jail and there he should be! Besides aren't you tired of his baby tantrums?
