So watching Katie Phang on MS Now...

I'm really beginning to believe that when we come out on the other side of this insanity, the regime will look back on their "behind the scenes" purge of correspondents like her as a big part of their downfall. The restraints are off. She's kicking ass and taking names on this Epstein File thing. These guys realize they don't have to "self censor" anymore...no executive saying "No, that'll upset Trump, and he'll hollar at us". I acknowledge it probably doesn't happen at MS Now as often as it does at the major networks, but legacy media is where most folks get their news.

We're in the weirdest time line imaginable, but I really think there's enough journalists who are beginning to look at their situation and are ready to say "the hell with this". Today's tech allows for incredible communication abilities...Meidas Touch, The Lincoln Project, Brian Tyler Cohen, Stephanie Miller, Malcolm Nance...the list goes on and on. All successful pod casts with no one telling them what they can and can't say.

As the talking heads on corporate news drone on, repeating and never questioning Trump's lies, people can look at their own reality, know they're being lied to (Faux News watchers not included, of course), and move on to different outlets for their information. At least I hope so...that thought is what's helping keep me sane right now.

Trump barely utters a word that those talking heads don’t try to “fact-check”.

As far as I can tell, it’s the left that has been trying to limit people’s ability to speak and reach an audience.

Influential and successful to whom, the BlueSky goons who already believe only one way? All of the above you mentioned from what I already know is they are far-far left-tard clowns, not to mention the wackos and really dangerous ones such as Hasan Piker and Jennifer Welch.

Your party is ****ed, and your ideology sucks.

Also, "Faux News" viewers get plenty of persepctive from outside the right. They have commentators who criticize Trump. They also host people from the left, including far-left people like Francesca Hong.

When will they give up on the epstein files BS?

Two or five years after Trump dies, depending on how soon they have a new bogeyman.

Phang recently won a lawsuit to have more names un-redacted from the released Epstein files. In their fantasies, Trump's name will be revealed in a criminal context.

In reality, more innocent people will be exposed and some moron(s) like Ro Khanna will dox more innocents.

I remember the summer of 2017, when someone on DU proclaimed that Michael Avenatti and Stormy Daniels would "continue to kick ass".

Agreed. While I don't peruse the whole edition, I read the dozen or so e-mails I willingly receive from the Slimes & Compost, not to mention People Magazine and the Slimes sports section which are arguably even further leftist.

If I didn't know what our opposition thinks, I wouldn't read them and live in what left-tards call a Newsmax/Fox bubble. But I don't.

Not doing BlueSky. I've maintained my discipline at the DUmp for 23 years with several under the radar moles, but I don't have the time or patience to deal with the insanity that I've only read linked from that nutfarm at my age.

After President Trump leaves office and some new republican becomes the target of 'we cant handle being voted out of power so we're going to lash out every way possible'.

They either can not understand or can not accept that no matter how bad they paint the opposition, it doesn't make them look better.

The main problem for them, is that their opposition is generally sane, and they are not. You can stack an awful lot on top of sane, real or imagined or asserted or flung like poo, and sane is still more attractive and competent, than they are...and try as they might to change that calculation, they can not.
