Can't say for americans, but there in Russia the situation is presented differently than there on Lemmy. Talking points against the narrative are simply absent, unless they get 'rebunked' by some talking head, hence how Renee shooting even came into this discourse. For local news, it's the repurposing of talking points previously used for Europe as being overtaken by foreign savages, but, in contrast, there Trumpie and his kin are fighting it as well as they can. No mention of local communities, of violations, but the same talks of tsunami of violence like previously with George Floyd protests started by drugged-up leftwing transgender immigrant maniacs. You know the tone.

I feel like the Fox News bubble is not very far from that. And it's going on like that since, at least, the Donner's first campaign. The decade of brainwashing is so influential it even took a couple of my friends, who are not fans of local admin and watch international news instead of what's handfed to them, to start to admire the ways of p2025, Dump and european far right, and almost circle back to admire Vladimir, and they are like second-hand smokers at best, not primary enducers of american smoke&mirrors TV extravaganza.
