The masks slip as Fox propagandists reveal they want health care premiums to skyrocket
Mentions of the Obamacare subsidies whose elimination they support are few and far between, as the hosts instead try to redirect the attention of their audience and stoke their rage over the prospect of undocumented immigrants receiving benefits. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/mas...

. @adamserwer.bsky.social is correct. A major difference between Trump I and II is that lots of people decided not to fight this time around. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our free speech rights
The president does not believe in free speech and his administration’s efforts to punish critics and coerce media outlets will continue until he can turn on his TV, flip through the channels, and see nothing but Fox-style propaganda on every network. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Fox averts its eyes from former employee Homan reportedly receiving a bag of cash
As of noon ET, Fox News has not mentioned reports that its then-employee Tom Homan accepted a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents as part of a corruption probe closed under the Trump administration. www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

I warned last October that if Donald Trump returned to the White House, the fate of the free press would depend on the willingness of corporate media executives to fight for it.
It's not going well. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

After Kirk shooting, right-wing media revive false narrative about attack on Minnesota legislators
In the wake of Kirk’s killing by an apparent leftist whose alleged motive was to stop Kirk’s “hate,” they are backfilling whatever explanations they can conjure up to avoid admitting the existence of political violence from the right. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/aft...

Because there's little real distinction between the right's posters and its politicians, Ted Cruz pushed the same line.

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty similarly claimed that the MN shooter was "a Democrat who worked directly for Tim Walz, was appointed by Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, Kamala's running mate, meaning that in this case, a Democrat literally assassinated another Democrat.”

Brian Kilmeade claimed Sunday: “And then, June 14, these Minnesota legislators were killed, something to do with what’s going on locally — they didn’t like what Tim Walz was doing, or a former staffer of Tim Walz.”

MAGA influencers responded to the shootings by spinning up a narrative in which Boelter was actually a leftist. Some even suggested that the attacks may have been ordered by Walz.
Those claims are now being revived.

The alleged shooter was reportedly an evangelical Trump supporter who preached against abortion and LGBTQ people. He had a hit list of dozens of Democrats as well as Planned Parenthood figures.

Hosts of Newsmax and Fox News shows are still claiming the alleged shooter of MN legislators was a leftist. They are trying to make the case that all political violence is on the left to justify its repression.

Meanwhile, Patel and Bongino are going on Fox News and then getting their appearances promoted by the Trump team and the RNC.

The dynamic where Kash Patel appears to be on the outs with DOJ and the White House and is trying to salvage his job by leaking tidbits about the Kirk investigation to right-wing media outlets doesn't seem great for obtaining accurate information.

We say the cliches because they are true:
Political violence consumes everything it touches. We cannot have a liberal democracy when people try to end political disagreements with bullets.
I hope Charlie Kirk survives, for all our sakes.

Greg Gutfeld once denounced Donald Trump’s “antiscience point of view” on vaccines and autism
Would pretending you think Trump's sig was forged be more or less humiliating than condemning those who link autism and vaccines and then deciding its fine and you're not the anti-science party because the other one "gave us Rachel Levine"? Tough call!
