Judging by the absolute shitstorm going on in FB and Twitter, I think the Dems realized the nagging wife/angry GF/crazy cat lady/handmaid larpers thing is a bad look and exactly the kind of social messaging that didn't work with Hillary. They can't go against that "feminist agenda" narrative, they are trying their best to shore up a couple of points before the next poll. So all of a sudden we have a "what media bias?" and "what trained marxists?" thing going on. Time to ask your normie friends how they think the messaging could be so consistent, and then so consistently pulled back? Do they still believe there is no media/BLM/Dem collusion?

I got a few to at least question it with 'breaking news' and it was some random tweet from 4 days earlier. I would then deconstructed the top article for that day. They all follow predictable patterns. I would show what was left out and ask 'gee why did they leave that part out?' or 'oh look the smear one side downplay the importance of the other for the same act'. I also started calling 'timeout on that lets see what happens in 2 days'. Usually by that time the story was wildly different and we could talk about the changes. The downside is this method takes time and someone at least willing to listen. That never works on the internet. You can not show them facts. You show them they are being lied to. Constantly.

Everything that ends up in the news is fake. Almost all of it. Someone had to decide what was said. Put together a crew to write it, read it. film it, present it, artwork the transitions, edit, etc etc etc. It is a production company. They have it down so they can do it semi quickly. If they have a gap of 10 mins in the middle of a show grab one of the mad-lib news wire puff pieces and use that. Usually it is 80% there and can be quickly massaged into the local format. Fake.
