>The letter complains about Fox and OANN's partisan and inflammatory rhetoric,
>they suggest censoring Fox News, which accurately reported the election results and Supreme Court developments. The conspiracy theories, such as they were, came from some of the opinion hosts.
It's hard to believe we're at this point, but Fox is on a different level from OANN. You can find counterpoints on Fox News. OANN/Breitbart/the Mercer family media empire are a new, more vicious and fantasy-driven right-populism.
If the right would keep its own house in order, you'd see less appetite for restrictions on the left. You need a boogeyman to sell this kind of thing. I can see your WaPo editor (in the private sector) and raise you plenty of Republican Congressmembers posing with rifles and Lindsey Graham trying to employ Brad Raffensperger. The worst left-wing "counterpart" is probably Maxine Waters's mean words.
- rayiner 6y agoWhat’s wrong with posing with rifles in response to a President that’s making noise about gun control?
- scythe 6y agoI wasn't quite specific. I meant the Congressmembers who include guns in their video chat office while in remote sessions, in an environment where open-carrying reactionaries have threatened and/or forcibly entered legislative offices in Oregon, Idaho and of course DC. It's a threat of violence, particularly coming from legislators who have been reluctant to condemn said reactionaries, and it kind of looks like a wink-and-nudge endorsement.
