It's easy to see through the hamfisted narratives they put out, and how they're trying to manipulate you.

What makes it particularly offensive is that these people think themselves to be so very clever and their audience so utterly dimwitted to be manipulated in such a transparent way.

Nobody likes to be talked down to in that way, and people can increasingly see that the reporting in the news doesn't match their lived experience.

I imagine that's one of the big reasons why mainstream media lost the younger generation. And now that people are looking for news outside the mainstream, it becomes increasingly more obvious just how propagandized the mainstream is.

The way mainstream media has been covering Israeli genocide in Gaza is a great example of this. Everybody knows what's actually happening, and how the media runs cover for Israel.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
