No wonder you two don’t get along — one news source aligns with evidence and scientific consensus while promoting equality, while the other has built a propaganda machine built on lies to inflate an authoritarian fascist's ego and incites violence against minorities. Clearly the same.
There’s some truth in this. If you’re only fed lies your brain turns to💩 and it’s hard to get along with💩. Conversely, even if you’re intelligent you can’t turn💩 into someone you’d like to be best buds with. The end.
I read Fox News just so I can understand what the "other side" is being told. It's a lot of lies, obfuscations and re-engineering of the truth. Please do not exhort me to "reach across to the other side." Those people are people who do not want some of my friends and family members to exist.
Those bastards are so afraid of being exposed which suggests that they know they are in the wrong camp. But they will still do it to satisfy their selfish, individualistic agenda.
Amen to that. Like "I want to be evil, but I don't want people *treating me* like I'm evil... can I be evil without suffering any consequences?"
I mean... trying to strip away all forms of recourse from your shitty actions *is* the Nazi project...

Are you seriously still both sidesing this?
On one side you have people saying “maybe we should treat people like human beings”
On the other side you have literal Nazis.
There is no “both sides” here. The side with the Nazis is demonstrably wrong, every time.
Simplified version of our reality.
However, one of those pets is actively trying to eliminate the other and a good pet steward would not allow that in their home.
Why would I waste my valuable time watching or reading venues that spread bullshit propaganda? After which I would have to spend three times as long fact-checking it to stop the spread of misinformation and lies.
If only this was the issue. Rather than one side living in "the reality based community" and the other "flooding the zone" with "muzzle velocity". Disinformation is the stated MO of the GOP.
If only they could meet in the middle and agree the only half of Ukraine needs to be given to Russia, only half of our Medicaid and Social Security needs to go directly to the rich, that having a proud sexual predator as president is okay, remove only half of DEI and make the president half king.
Yeah but cat news is "Dog Packs on Rise," "Local Cats missing," and "Cat Recounts Harrowing Escape, Killer Dog Still on the Loose" while the dog headlines are "Feline Menace: Are Meows Secretly a Threat to Eat Puppies" and "10 Tastiest Cats."
Idk if you guys do, but i, in principle agree with this cartoon. Maybe i'm an idealist, but i feel like at leaat understanding where "the other side" is coming from is a requierment for civil society 👀
What do you suppose the agency of alternative facts peoole is? I think they are people who have lost trust in "mainstream news" and for what ever reason have decided these "rouge news sources" are more reliable due to them seemingly being against the "mainstream".
I hypothesize that Murdoch is a literal nazi that escaped as a young child from Germany and was raised as a nazi by his parents and fox News turned into his plan to destroy America.
He's most definitely an ubercunt, Nottingham Forest football club manager Brian Clough labelled him the biggest threat to the working class back in the 80's.
Said he should be removed from the planet, he was spot on about that.
Rick, that's so incorrect. The right doesn't share news, it's propaganda. Let me know when Fox and Newsmax are telling the truth and not fear mongering. I'll wait. 😐
...except one side says "all people deserve to have food and live, actually" and the other spouts "these *insert marginalised group* shouldn't have rights!"
Sure. but one writes “maybe it’s a good idea if everyone has ability to get healthcare” and the other writes “they’re opening multi dimensional demon portals flooding our country with 600 million demon spawn who are forcing your children to snort fentanyl with their trans holes!!! BUY my merch!!!”
Maybe a decade ago, I might agree. But these days, it can't be that way. The irony of being in an age of information is that it's also the age of misinformation.
Propaganda, AI News, "cat news" and "dog news" cater only to their specific demographic even if it means lying and/or slandering.
Not to mention that opposing news sources love to say "drag queens are groomers and here's the ONE person who did a bad thing to prove it" while sweeping everything else under the rug, whereas the other sources are like "yeah they did a bad thing. We don't condone that. That doesn't represent us."
I get the point, but it's not that black & white. I'll read/listen to conservatives who are intelligent, principled, and honest (although they're rare), but under no circumstances will I read or watch the product of liars and propagandists.
I can see the point here, but the situation isn't as neutral as dogs vs cats. Sane-washing. This is lovers of liberty vs fascists. One is objectively good, the other is objectively bad. I don't think this was necessarily meant to be manipulative tho, it can be hard because of all the propaganda.
Funny metaphor, although cats and dogs not getting along isn't so common as often thought. Certainly no worse than conflicts between cats and conflicts between dogs.
Well, I don't disagree, but I watch Fox News as long as I can, they just repeat his talking points that contain little if any truth. I mean they framed the whole white house debacle exactly the way Trump's team wanted them to. Who watches that and thinks Zelenskyy attacked Trump or Vance?
Rightwing propaganda only gets 5% audience share. Left wing spin, also just 5%. So, down on the floor would be 10 rabbits who only watch commercials, but at least they vote. Amongst the rabbits are 8 non voting gerbils with zero political info. AKA politics via pet metaphor.
The other side wants to take my rights and is cheering for the downfall of others far less fortunate than them. They say people should be grateful when they have nothing to lose. My bad I'm an extremist. Nobody to the right of me cares about me.
I mean, this is TECHNICALLY correct, but only because one side of the news is true and the other side is corporatist propaganda. And by one side, I mean legacy media. All of it.
As someone who is rather centrist and reads the claims of all major sides, let me just tell you...the road to truth is a lonely one because when you call out the simple BS on the sides & the truth of their opposition, all sides just label you an enemy side, and you wind up with very few friends.
Remember the days when news were predominantly facts?
On the opinion page you had just that, an opinion.
Now imagine all the humans with low brain power... They simply cannot differentiate anything. Chuck in a portion of neo-christian bs, you blow the fuse.
You're insinuating that I should waste my time watching programs that have been successfully sued for hundreds of millions of dollars because of the lies that they tell on television under the guise of being news... tell me how that doesn't seem ridiculous to you.
You might have a point if the right wing Echo chamber was actually news instead of propaganda. Most people I know on the left don't watch mainstream media anyway.
I actually watch a mix of both and read between the lines. There will be opinion and bias in quite a few places, but there is a big difference between showing facts, then giving opinion, and avoiding facts, then giving only opinion.

The right doesn't have news. It's now state run media. It's propaganda. And it's Russian disinformation. Fox was never news.
I tell them to buy long lasting foods.
I mean... trying to strip away all forms of recourse from your shitty actions *is* the Nazi project...
Wake up, buddy!
On one side you have people saying “maybe we should treat people like human beings”
On the other side you have literal Nazis.
There is no “both sides” here. The side with the Nazis is demonstrably wrong, every time.
However, one of those pets is actively trying to eliminate the other and a good pet steward would not allow that in their home.
But facts and truth only have one side. The opposite side is lies.
So...
People have strongly internalized views and extremely different reactions to objective reporting of facts they see
To suggest it derives from news sources removes the agency and responsibility of voters who very much want what they voted for
I think learning why is important
That's all I have to say.
Said he should be removed from the planet, he was spot on about that.
One side is complex and balanced
The other-side is lies and stupidity
Can you imagine that whole thing in the addresses speech about transgender mice? I was like WTF… well:
Centrist smugness strikes again
Also, nothing like a cartoon profile pic and “just sayin” to put yourself as a troll.
Propaganda, AI News, "cat news" and "dog news" cater only to their specific demographic even if it means lying and/or slandering.
Jesus Christ you’re a very silly boy, Rick.
Their decency.
Their truth.
The sky is blue!
The sky is red!
You know, you should see each other's perspective.
Uhh, the guy saying red is a loon making shit up just to scare!

We are not going to "both sides" nazis and facists.
Knuckle up.
Is it the cat or the dog that's supporting neonazis and trying to take away human rights?

Yeah, cause they're nazis.
