Just to let you know, they have multiple articles up about how this new Russia business was an attempted coup of Donald Trump by a corrupt FBI. I post to let people know how this is being played by Righties, this was huge news to them because it proves Deep State FBI agents were trying to overthrow our Democracy.
Incredible.

That was above videos and the actual link to their site.
Two of the top 5 stories on their website include plot or coup in their title.

You have taken a hit for us and we appreciate it.

(19,038 posts)I ventured over there to see what their take on it was, I figured they'd ignore it since it's so damaging to Trump. I was stunned that they were spinning this as Trump being the target of a coup. This is beyond dangerous and irresponsible.

(19,038 posts)The one thing Dems and the public in general have done a terrible job at is anticipating how depraved and low Trump will go next.
I can very easily see him saying this when he gets removed from office, "I am speaking to all of my voters, take up arms, come to Washington DC and the White House, kill everyone you see who is against me, defend your President and save your country."
This is totally within the realm of possibility.

C'mon guys! Get it done or go home!

(5,997 posts)Should we be doing something, like leaving lots of comments to their bullshit online stories, to let them know they're being conned?
Or is it just a waste of time?

(37,748 posts)It's a shame Fox will never attempt to convience their idiot viewers to go outside and help people. Or spend a day helping clean the community. Or ask them to volunteer for Meal on Wheels.
Instead, Fox simply tells them who to fear and hate, and how to fear and hate them. An entire channel of sub-literate Kens and Barbies dedicated to nothing other than fear and convincing everyone that being an idiot is something to be proud of.
A channel of, for and by The Lowest Common Denominator.

(9,670 posts)Assuming, of course, that we HAVE a media, which is the other problem.
In fact, if this type of governance by conspiracy theory continues, the fact that we don't have a strong voice outside of Congress articulating our policies and our proofs may end up being the knife in the heart.
