    i don’t get why they even waste their time. the people who would have been convinced by the bullshit coming out of this administration have already been convinced. everyone else knows it’s been nothing but bullshit for years and years, including any “sources” they cite in their bullshit

      They do it because it creates a premise, a justification, for policy changes and to bully private entities into following new policy. It doesn’t matter that the documents they’re using for justification are incorrect and mostly fiction because they’ll never admit to that. Any attempt at rebuttal will be completely ignored and they just keep repeating “we have to do X because of Y justification and if you don’t do X also then you hate America.”

      This is all the evidence Alex Jones needs, and Alex Jones as all the evidence talk radio listeners need to ask about it on Joe Rogan, and it being on Rogan makes it big enough for “one America” put to broadcast, one America’s success is all the public support Fox “News” needs to rebroadcast it as news. And then enough Americans will hear about it that it’ll be a talking point at every diner, 4th of July celebration and family bbq.

        You forgot the part where once it’s on Fox news the White House will then use it as a credible source and proof of it.

        All bullshit news starts at the local news outlet being funded and forced to do a news piece by a larger corporate entity. It lays a foundation of bullshit for which they “lie” upon.

      Not everyone is convinced. New people are born every day. They need to generate “proof” from trusted authorities that way their made up nonses sticks for years to come. The Autism/Vaccine lie was originally published in a medical journal, the authors admitted to making up parts of it, but people still believe it.

    Yes, but they’re going to have their way anyway. Modern medicine is about to become unavailable for any but the most wealthy.
