The biggest mistake the people on the right are making are misjudging the left's malicious behavior for stupidity.

They know Covid is a myth.
They know Trump didn't collude with Russia.
They know Trump isn't a stupid a idiot.
They know that they are unfair to Trump.
They know that China really is an enemy.
They know BLM is a subversive Marxist movement.

They don't actually believe the things they write.. but this is a game to them and they are playing to win.

I am not talking about every leftist who robotically repeats the medias prayers. I am talking about the figureheads lead and influence the movement.

When we, on the right, pretend like the media is "oh so stupid" for walking back statement and stuff.. that isn't being stupid. That is them using their underhanded tactics to their advantage.

Everytime we claim the media is stupid for "believing" something they write,

THEY WIN.

THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.

Doing this successfully means that the conversation is now changed from them being malicious to them “accidentally” being wrong despite following “ethical” journalism. This is why they can use anonymous sources for everything. Instead of people saying how it’s ACTUALLY malicious and unethical to do this, the conversation gets shifted to “well, the facts might be wrong, but at least they specified it was an anonymous source. Good journalism!!”
