My section of America has plenty of Fox News lovers. Most restaurants and bars I went into had the TV set to Fox News all day long. And quite a few professional offices as well. Many doctors and dentists are part of the brainwashing.

Chris Hedges is worth hearing, so is Noam Chomsky. There are others as well.

The fact that either one of them would willingly work for RT calls their entire character into question, but that's just me. Maybe you are more forgiving of people who willingly work for Russian State Media.

Sometimes people can't get their message out through normal media outlets. Chomsky is definitely a polarizing figure, but he is also a world renowned intellectual. For whatever reason, labeling America as the world's greatest terrorist state hasn't made him particularly popular here in America. But his opinion is in alignment with the perspective of much of the rest of the world. A recent international poll found that internationally America is viewed as the greatest threat to world peace. It reminds me of the Bret Weinstein issue a few years back. People criticized him for going on Fox news, but he was willing to go on other News stations, but the others didn't want him. Hedges received a Pulitzer, is a visiting lecturer for Princeton, and people's main issue with him is that he is highly critical of America (similar to Chomsky). However, both are what I would consider extremely intelligent individuals that are trying to tell a story that doesn't fit within the current mainstream narrative, who have fallen out of the graces of the mainstream media it would appear primarily because of their level of criticality of America.

I guess it would depend on the context. I mean Fox News is state propaganda as well but I don't fault people for going on it if they are trying to tell the truth. There's no way you can work for one of those places and not be complicit though in my opinion.

I think I agree with you, but I'm trying to align this with my previous experience with Hedges ( didn't realize until now that he works for RT). He clearly isn't stupid. He has a long enough history and I've never perceived him as lacking principle. I agree though, it doesn't look good.

I have no problem with people criticizing America, and that is not what RT is about. RT is about weakening America. There are probably a hundred better outlets where they can go to criticize America.

Wtf!...

“Let me tell you something, Diana. This guy shut the country down. He put 40 million people out of work. In a situation like that, you have to make up whatever you have to make up to stop that train and that’s the way life works, okay? That’s the way it goes.”

“Mother Nature has to clean the barn every so often. How real is it? Who knows? So what if 1 percent of the population goes? So what if you lose 400,000 people? 200,000 were elderly, the other 200,000 are the bottom of society. You got to clean out the barn. If it’s real, it’s a positive thing, for God’s sake.”

“What could be wrong, Diana? You did a good job, you got paid. What’s the problem? What seems to be the issue? You’re freaking out. You’re texting me late at night. What’s the issue?”

Hopefully Fauci sues the shit out of those guys. They should be in jail. Kudos to her for eventually backing out and doing whats right, telling them to fuck off

His problem is that he doesn’t see himself as being a useful idiot.

I can’t blame him though. When there has been decades+ droning of “media bias”, “left wing media”, or “the media”, people start believing it at worst or start questioning the institution. Confirmation bias then kicks in and they go from believing/questioning to outright repeating/spreading of the same propaganda.

He hasn’t realized what the roll is he’s currently playing.

Unfortunately studies have shown that trying to counter ones beliefs with actual facts only causes that person to dig in deeper.
 
One thing you’ll never see during a pandemic is a Republican governor shopping in a grocery store, Donald Trump visiting a meat packing plant, Mitch McConnell working a minimum wage job, and.... any of the above telling the truth. The real wossies in all of this are the republicans that would dare never follow their own advice.
