   #CNN should acknowledge that every time they let a GOP politician on air they are engaging in propaganda, not "news", for the simple reason that their anchors are too passive to respond in real-time to the stream of lies and misdirection that is highly-refined GOP talking points. compare: #UK hosts

   They simply walk over the host, give a great GOP propaganda performance, and leave smiling, with the public having been provided with no real context or counterpoints to the lies.

     It's extremely offensive to us Americans when non-Americans, like you, post disgusting pro-fascist garbage like that.

     Stop trying to force me and 330 million other Americans to spend the rest of our lives in a fascist nightmare. Go fuck up your own country instead.

     We're not going back.

     As opposed to the slavish treatment of Democrats by 'their old media'

     From a foreign perspective, it's a tribal shitshow and good luck trying to read or watch anything coming out of the US that isn't biased one way or the other with the possible exception of PBS, but even then ...

     Fortunately, there's Deutsche Welle, Radio Netherlands, Al Jezeera, Agence France-Presse, Reuters and a ton of other agencies with little skin in the game that can be reasonably relied on to attempt to report the US election accurately #uspol

     @barney @fixatedpersonsunit @HumanServitor yeah that is def ai generated
     
     sometimes i also can't help but get in arguments with tankies, as it just infuriates me when they pretend to be anything progressive, but alas, it is really a test of patience for each one of us to preserve democracy

     @NeonPurpleStar

     Thank you, but I wouldn't say that it takes much courage to "stand up" to fascist scum like @fixatedpersonsunit on the internet. If filth like that succeed in destroying American democracy, we'll all be in real danger.

     As an aside, @fixatedpersonsunit, like many similar stinking fascist shitstains in the Fediverse, identifies itself as Australian. But I have increasing doubts that these are really Australians. Note that its profile pic is an AI-generated fake.
