Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

In recent years, we've witnessed ugly scenes of division and violence across towns and cities in England. Sadly, we have started to witness similar creep into Scotland and Ireland. At the root of it lies years of scapegoating - polificians and enabling, right wing media pointing the finger at minorities while ignoring the real struggles faced by the working class.
Communities are breaking under the weight of poor housing, crumbling services, low-paid work, rising costs and capitalist greed. Instead of taking responsibility, those in power seek an easier target - blaming refugees, and asylum seekers for their own repeated failures.
The Irish who fled famine were once met with the same hostility. Today, people escaping war, poverty and oppression face those very same suspicions and attacks. Our own club was born trom immigration, from people arriving in the east end of Glasgow with little more than hope.
As Celtic supporters, it is particularly important we do not allow resentment to be furned against those now seeking safety and prosperity in our city today.
Glasgow, and especially Celtic Park, should be a place of justice, inclusion and solidarity. This season, the Green Brigade will continue our initiative of inviting refugees into the North Curve - beginning with this afternoon's match.
It you see our guests in the curve today, please continue to offer a warm welcome and remind the world that Celtic supporters reject racism in all forms.

REFUGEES
WELCOME

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them. Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him β€œsimply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well.
