> [@Atamasama](#): > > … or cherry pick their stories to fit a narrative … Sorry, but _they all do that_. Every professional purveyor of news selects from a mountain of stories to provide you with a given narrative. And they all tread carefully around material related to their biggest advertisers (while trying to keep the pool of advertisers as diverse as possible so that losing one will not be too crippling). Granted, the Fox narrative is more embedded in utter bullshit than most of the older news outlets, but their overall methodologies are all fundamentally the same. ---

Why would we put the vaccine in it, when we can just put the tracking chip straight into the candy? You know the vaccine was just the cover.

Not that this qualifies as “lying” but I’m not sure a better thread to put it. These fucking scumbags are now trying to pretend that President Biden offering Hunter moral support back in 2018 was… a BAD thing?? Do I have that right?

The cruelty IS the point. [I also note that the hue and cry about the opiate crisis is simply performative and political. Did I ever doubt that?
