This January 6th nonsense highlights exactly what's wrong with the left vs right bullshit.  It's very obvious the left turned away additional security and the security that was there was ordered to fall back and let the protesters in.  It's also obvious that the FBI and antifa were the ones that were riling the crowd up and pushing them into the building.  Sure, the right wingers talking about stopping the results were bat shit crazy, but taking advantage of crazy people to create some invasion talking points is honestly worse than the mentally ill people who thought that storming government buildings was a good idea.  It's all such a joke.  I can't believe anyone gives a shit about this other than to find out why it was allowed to happen.

What do you make of Rupert Murdoch admitting Fox ordered the network to keep lying to the public because he feared losing his viewers to more right-wing media outlets like Newsmax? He said it was all about the "green".

That to me is outrageous, the legacy media in the USA has unparalleled power and influence and they have been shown to be very dishonest and corrupt.

I was actually a big fan of Tucker Carlson and this makes me view him in a completely different light. They are all full of sh*t.

The important part in the lies is, accidental lies vs. intentional lies.

Anybody can tell a lie by mistake. When he sees his mistake, the honest thing to do is own up to it, and start telling the truth. Those who are intentionally lying won't change except to save their own skin.

The other side of it is, in something as big as what goes on in government, the media, and the medical, it's often difficult to determine what the truth really is. This means that one can't always judge who the liar is, to say nothing about if the lies are accidental or intentional.
