I think you are correct. Fox News is very good at whipping its viewers up into a fear frenzy.
We all should feel fortunate that this idea of whipping people into fear frenzies is only found on one side of the political divide.

(It's literally such a bizarre experience to read this board at times)
Yes, as Trump eloquently pointed out, "there are good people on both sides." The white nationalists shouting "Jews will not replace us" are identical to the liberals pushing for universal school lunch.

If you're interested in truth (I don't say that as an insult to you - I say that because it's obvious that some people are not interested in truth - In addition, I am not suggesting that this includes you - I don't know you) you could find the truth as it relates to this "very fine people on both sides" statement that has been used and used and used for an intended purpose. It's up to you.

I wasn't thinking about universal school lunch - I was thinking about constant politically motivated rhetoric (by design and it's working) concerning things like "threat to democracy", "Hitler", 'Nazi", "blood bath", "dictator", "white supremacist", "KGB agent", etc, etc, etc, that is being spewed daily.

In case you are interested in truth, I took a few seconds of my time to assist you. Do you have time for a 5 minute video?

I appreciate you're interested in discussing this rationally, here's my take:

I've noticed a shift in Republicans lately, they're complaining that the left is lying. This coming from a party who has elected by far the least honest President of the United States that has ever sat in the oval office. It's physically impossible for anyone to count the number of lies Donald Trump has told, because basically every sentence he says in public is one.

And I think that's why your criticism, that the left is lying or exaggerating about Trump, doesn't really connect with anything. If the Right doesn't care about truth coming from its leader, what right does it have to complain if Kamala starts doing the exact same thing?

I'm done expecting the New York Times to be an unbiased source of information. Do I have a problem with the decline in their reporting standards in the Trump era? I did. Back before I realized that the solution to Trump's lies isn't actually truth. There isn't a solution, there's just endless lies. Trump launched the nuclear missiles and we're living in that post-apocalyptic post-truth world. The left isn't going to die on an altar to truth, just so that Trump can continue with another 4 years of madness. What good is having the moral high ground if you lose everything?

For some, the source (no matter what the source is) is not nearly as important as the information being delivered. Most people who are looking for truth, look at any/all sources in the pursuit of truth.

Having read your posts on this board for years, I understand that you are not one of the people I speak of above. No problem.

You are right, that's not me.

However, SkyNews is not above fudging truth or making untruthful claims, much like Fox. The just-say-anything idea has been employed effectively by FAIR for years.
