What is that trying to say exactly? That people in their respective bubbles watch/read only those sources? Ok. That's pretty common knowledge.

It's nice to see numbers, and it seems to show that there's competition on one side.

60 Minutes should have got the Bolton interview. ABC and Raddatz did a shitty job with it.

Whats the earliest that you knew about the Javascript workaround for paywalls?

Why didn't you share it more freely?

Come on, you know how this works. You paint the speaker as evil so people will accept it when you paint a cherish idea as evil rather than face the shame of being called a supporter of the villain.

Which cherished idea do you think is currently imperiled by recognizing that Washington was a slaveowner.

“They’re* targeting Washington so they can lull the American public into hating democracy” is QAnon level stupidity.


*”They” in this sentence represents other Americans

I'd love for you to connect the dots for me here, with specific examples. What is the progression from recognizing Washington as a slaveowner to attacking "Jefferson's and Madison's" ideas? Which ideas? And why are they so contingent on downplaying the history of slavery in this country?
