He was definitely a propagandist like so many of the mainstream media are today. He and FOX showed how the us v them model works and he profited handsomely doing it.

What’s the leftist equivalent of Rush Limbaugh since we’re whatabouting right now?

Take a look at what Matt Taibbi says:

https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/53317 ... at-capitol

https://taibbi.substack.com/

Or Glenn Greenwald:

They outline pretty well how the media has devolved into propaganda camps resulting in a significant portion of the population not believing in what is reported by any of them.

I'd like to take a moment to honor the huge dump I just took. It was massive and full of corn. What was once food had a productive life, and it would be wrong of me to disrespect the piece of crap and not say a word of remembrance for it. I mean, this is the proper amount of respect one would pay to a piece of crap, is it not?

Can I get an "amen" before I flush?
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

So basically there is no equivalent on the Left.

MSNBC, CNN, The NY Times, Washington Post, Atlantic, etc. - all have decidedly started to follow the propaganda model inspired by Rush and FOX, catering to the corporate left.

Based on no evidence whatsoever, especially if what you just presented is your best evidence.

So the NYT reported that a cop was killed by fire extinguisher after two other cops told reporters this. We also see video of dozens of armed protesters in the mob threatening violence and even death. There is footage of one protester using a fire extinguisher as a weapon. Two sources told the NYT that this cop died after being hit in the head with an extinguisher. After an autopsy, that may turn out to be incorrect, but there is no reason to believe it was a story made from whole cloth like the stuff from Limbaugh and FOX on a daily basis.

In your mind the media occasionally and innocuously reporting something that subsequently turns out to be incorrect, that's the same thing as an uneducated community college drop out using talk radio to spew lies he knows are lies, conspiracy theories he knows are bogus, and racist/sexist mantra for more than thirty years?


And the media reporting live from the Capitol as it is being violently ransacked with chants of "Hang Mike Pence," that's your proof that the Left is creating divisions in America?

Yeah, you're not a serious person.

Didn't the NY Times retract their fire extinguisher story? The guy spoke to his brother later that day saying people sprayed him with bear spray. Yet the Times reported their narrative anyway. Aren't serious persons like you able to see the propaganda? Perhaps you need to leave the team for a while and then you will be able to see the propaganda? Anyway, shouldn't we be about truth instead of team narrative?
