Just when you thought Foxworld couldn't get any more craven or pathetic...

@LiberalLibrarian Given it's size, it's actually less than I'd have guessed. It's also a narrow market - they can't count on selling a lot of them.

@LiberalLibrarian I'd be curious to know whether such "analysis" comes from the news division, which is still relatively reality-based, or the editorial division, which is pure and open propaganda.

In many ways it's even more pathetic if it's the former, because the news people should know better. They debunked several of the Hunter conspiracy theories in 2020.

@LiberalLibrarian And Kevin is vowing to start an impeachment inquiry as soon as the House returns from vacation.

It totally works, you see, because all Fox viewers see Biden as the biggest criminal in all of history.

The fact that most voters don't even know what the Rs are talking about when they spew these conspiracy theories from the Fox bubble is a problem Rs don't see (well, some of them do) because they never leave that bubble.

Steve King must be so bitter - he was forced out of the House R party for open bigotry and fascist views... which are now the ticket to party power and leadership.

He missed his chance by about a year.

@LiberalLibrarian Wait, so global warming is YOUR fault?

@LiberalLibrarian It's longer.

And a major industrial nation decided it sounded awesome. (Or more precisely that the guy who ranted it sounded awesome - most of them never read it.)

@LiberalLibrarian Well, I REALLY hope that's more broadly representative.

@LiberalLibrarian Associations with trauma can be powerful, whether conscious or not.

It took me several years to realize that I was in a bad place around the anniversary of a traumatic medical crisis, even though I wasn't consciously thinking about it.

@Sr0bi *Shrug.* I see value in making the full insanity of MAGA known. If you don't, more power to you.

Right-wing projection has reached its apex. They now just rail about #Trump's pathologies and scream that they mean Biden.

Gingrich and Box-o'-Wine Jeanine had almost identical rants tonight, howling that *Biden* is a egomaniac and narcissist.

What they will never understand, of course, is that the great majority of voters aren't the "I believe anything if Fox says it" base...

@LiberalLibrarian She should give J K Rowling some lessons.

@TheEyeOfBalor

@hallmarc @KodoAndSangha @AskTheDevil Yeah, that's what I've seen as well. It's unlikely to succeed, and not an obvious coup for Meadows even if it somehow does.

You can get a poll to say anything you want if you make up the numbers.

@LiberalLibrarian @sfleetucker In one of the Joan Hickson Ms Marple stories, she remarks that a young man who professes to be a Communist "must be rather lonely in Chipping Cleghorn."

I often think of that when MAGA types turn up on very blue turf.

@thedisasterautist All true.

@MidnightRider The increasing study and awareness of global biodiversity in the 17th century created more and more skepticism that you could ever have fit everything in an ark. Hence attempts to rationalize the story as a metaphor for, say, very high mountains in various regions that preserved local flora and fauna from the flood.

@thedisasterautist I see no evidence that he meant well. He was blatantly sucking up to the worst in American life because he thought it would be better for profits. He was ousted because he was wrong about that and it actually cratered viewership (predictably alienating their regular audience while failing to attract the Fox demo, who are locked into to seeing CNN as the enemy).

@MidnightRider Ah, yes.

Natural philosophers started to get nervous about the plausibility of the ark around the 17th century.
