Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Propaganda works. Period.

This is a forty year old tactic at least, too. It's not like we don't know they do this.

How is it a forty year old tactic that still gets implemented? Because the corporate news media literally cannot say that. Maybe in an "opinion" column by a well known lefty or some weak ass shit like that. But report? A front page news? On GOP screwing up the college vote again? Noooooooooo.

Especially not the Trump-enabling WaPo. No, these are "new" voter laws, not an old-as-dirt cheating tactic the GOP has been using since at least Reagan. Fuck you, WaPo. Democracy dies when you do what you do.

Put "republican" hired to shoot "Democrat" in the headline

By deliberately de-emphasizing the crimes of republicans they are thereby absolved and emboldened.

BBC knows better but doesn't do the right thing. Why? Why indeed.

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.

But Jesus’ light skin and blues eyes suggest that he is not Middle Eastern but European-born. And the faux-Hebrew script embroidered on Mary’s cuffs and hemline belie a complicated relationship to the Judaism of the Holy Family.

In Mantegna’s Italy, anti-Semitic myths were already prevalent among the majority Christian population, with Jewish people often segregated to their own quarters of major cities.

Oh yeah

Jordan Strauss, a former federal prosecutor and former national security official in the Justice Department, called the FBI's alleged failure to search the closet "a bit astonishing."

"You're searching a former president's house. You [should] get it right the first time," Strauss told ABC News.

The FBI fucked up so royally during Trumps junta on every single issue, I wonder if they're not just floor-to-ceiling republiQans but droolingly incompetent.

Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they're way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I'm sorry, that should be: they're just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We're screwed, goodnight.
