* Misleading headlines
* Propaganda masquerading as news content
Right-wing media companies Fox Corporation and Sinclair Broadcast Group are working with the MAGA RNC to flood the countrys airwaves, front pages and social media feeds with disinformation designed to smear President Joe Biden.
Take a second to let that sink in. Major news organizations have become part of a political partys propaganda operation. Forget all those movies about crusading reporters trying to hold the powerful to account. Think instead of TASS and Xinhua News doing all they can to make the public swallow their dictatorss lies. This is not why the founders protected a free press. In fact, it was to fight the Monarchs monopoly on news that they fought so hard for freedom of speech.
Heres how it works: The MAGA RNC trolls the internet with anti-Biden memes. Often, this included doctored videos and entirely fictional stories. Then Fox, the very same company that notoriously paid out almost $1 billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election, amplifies those lies. Sinclair uses the same doctored and dishonest content on its 86 local television stations and websites. Rinse, repeat.
Together, these efforts are grossly distorting the facts to help secure convicted felon Donald Trumps election in November. And its getting worse. Theres been a noticeable increase in deceptive content cycling its way to the public from all three of these bad actors in the last few weeks. Each one including the multiple Murdoch outlets like the New York Post and Wall Street Journal is busy spreading lies and disinformation in an attempt to cement a false narrative that Joe Biden is mentally unfit for office.

(648 posts)4. Is the Biden Campaign countering these Sinclair ads locally?
These lies are illegal campaign contributions! Who said that?
We need a counter meme: The Unholy Trinity: FOX, Sinclair, RNC.
