“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, and the distinction between true and false, no longer exists.”
- Hannah Arendt
And herein lies the operating philosophy of Fox News and other conservative angertainment outlets as best elucidated by Steve Bannon's "Flood the zone with shit."

Or in Faux News case, total silence if the news is bad.
From what I have read, nary a word on J6 referrals on their site yesterday.

I've clicked over to Fox News at the top of the hour 5-6 times since the referral and there's been nary a word other than coverage of the hearing and a brief analysis by Trump-friendly lawyers (Andy McCarthy and Jonathan Turley) immediately following the committee presentation, both of whom said that Trump's actions on Jan 6 and in the months before were tasteless, rude, etc., but not illegal.

In testimony on Wednesday, Sean Hannity said he did not believe “for one second” the election fraud claims that guests on his show were advancing in 2020.
Oops.
Dominion is going to absolute annihilate Fox News when their case goes to court.

Elon Musk claims the FBI paid Twitter to 'censor info from the public.' Here's what the Twitter Files actually show

MAGAMorons, of course, believe every lie Reich-wing media feeds them. Whell’s World.

This looks like an intentional disinformation campaign by Musk to discredit the FBI and the cat is already out of the bag with Faux and right wing radio picking this and amplifying it. Only reason I can come up with is that this is a frontal attack at the FBI with is part of the Justice Department who is soon to go after Trump. Hope our JD uses this as an additional motivator, this country cannot act normal until the Moron is locked up.

The Twitter feed sent to my email address recently started including obvious troll posts.
I sent a complaint to Twitter that propagating such posts is a disservice to their membership.

Whell, I am wondering why it is Politicalchat.com and not *.org?
Have been meaning to ask you this for a while, or has it been already answered?
Is there is sinister MAGA rooted reason behind this?
Or did you think *.com is short for "community"?

In the good old J. Edgar Hoover days the FBI would already have an extensive file on Musk. Including a dirty little secrets section.
