…and those ANTIFA drug dealers.
And Hillary.
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.
Yeah, I guess what bothers me more is what the narrative is, and why they have it.
Halloween candy dangers just keep mounting. This disturbing image showed up on my Facebook feed:
Clearly the right Twix/left Twix feud has escalated.
The only thing that stops a malted milk ball with a gun is a peanut butter cup with a gun.
Candy bar gangsta rap (by Gangsta Candy Wrappers?) is rife with tales of violence.
I live by the sword
I take my boys everywhere I go
Because I’m paranoid
I keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
My mind is playing Twix on me
Twix! Two for me… Gun for you…
Guns are okay. USA! What you don’t want is your kid getting a Reese’s cup with a vaccine or a pronoun in it.
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.
And we already are putting pronouns into the candy, haven’t you seen m&m’s, what do you think that really means, huh?
ETA: oh crap, is this mike live?
Hey, wheels within wheels…
I always figured there was a lot of palace intrigue involved in that; shifting alliances, arranged marriages, that sort of thing.
Right and Left Twix have long been involved in a secret incestuous affair.
And the less said about the Doublemint Twins, the better.
“Wintergreen is coming!”
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? Well, no.]
For those who enjoy Beau of the Fifth Column, here’s his take on this one – <5min:
I want this guy for President.
It would confuse the HELL out of Republicans if he ran.
I’m genuinely puzzled what effect they wanted this to have on people. I know being cruel is their meat and potatoes, but this doesn’t even have another way it can be twisted to impugn him. There’s just nothing to use here.
They’re trying to show that Hunter is a loser that need’s dads help. The fact that it shows that Joe has empathy and cares for his family is a bridge to far for them.
As opposed to Don Jr. and Eric, who have made such a success of themselves on their own. /s
Yeah, I know. One shouldn’t expect consistency from people who have tapioca instead of brains.
