Per this link and post 101,599 above, that person was not in involved in any way.
Super easy for us to get sucked into the whirlwind of bullshit being posted in all the news and social media lanes. 99% of it is just as fake as CNN.
Interesting point. I do not watch or partake of msm in any way, shape or form. I often wonder if "people" think that I should be getting my news from msm instead of the "internet".
I look at it like this; I'm far more comfortable getting my news from the internet because (unlike msm) different viewpoints are represented. Most good, some bad, but at least I have the choice of which flavor of bullshit I want to listen to. Can't do that with msm.
Here's the thing: Bullshit gets exposed on the internet in ten seconds of thousands or tens of thousands of people seeing it. The MSM lies can go for weeks, months, or even years before they are debunked, and then it takes even longer for it to become the zeitgeist.
You are way better off getting your information directly, and simply taking it with a grain of salt and seeing how it ages. The media has killed itself by being a stooge of the government and pretending they're some sort of unbiased arbiters. They've been exposed and are dying slowly. Deciding what is and isn't the truth is never going away because people lie. Where you get twisted is once you start believing the source rather than the information.
I say it all the time, but in business you have to tell the truth every single time without fail, and if you don't know you have to say you don't know, because you can tell the truth a hundred times, but once you tell one single lie then you are a liar, and it's that simple.
Our country really isn't divided between the right and left. Only about ten percent on the left and right are truly guided only by ideology. For the other 80% they probably agree more than they disagree, and the divide are between the ones who believe the media, and the ones who think they are compulsive liars. That really defines the difference between Democrats and Republicans, and is also why people think January 6th was the worst day in American history, and Donald Trump is the agent of Vladimir Putin.

Well, that does t surprise me one iota.
No wonder Trump was so solid when he said DEI within hours. He had the file on his desk.
Meanwhile Hakeem the Minority Leader had his but anti Trump rant yesterday… perfect!
I agree with everything you've said, right up until the last paragraph. I live in greater seattle. The divide here is significantly larger than what you describe. Conservatives are the minority here. It's at least 60/40, if not 70/30. And, the difference is striking. "Liberals" here are anything but. They are the most divisive, "non-inclusive" people that I have ever seen. It's unmistakable, it isn't even subtle.
Once you get over the Cascades, it is much more Conservative, other than spokane/cheney/pullman and walla walla.

That ain’t no “little” piece or ordnance he’s got in his hands either
Not saying that you aren't 100% right, but I believe that if all those leftists suddenly stopped believing everything they see on the TV a good portion of them would snap out of it. Many of them are not stupid. They're just completely misinformed and prone to be influenced by propaganda from sources they still consider truthful that most of the rest of us now dismiss as fake news/propaganda.
"if all those leftists suddenly stopped believing everything they see on the TV"
Not pickin' on ya Bud, but at least around these parts, that ain't never gonna happen.............
Just kidding, no one ever asks me what my plans are.
That may be. In the interim however, they, including my relatives, will happily sentence myself and many others to death for non-compliance with their brand of crazy. That shit is not something I am likely to ignore or forget.
As with ANYTHING I post here, I do not advocate, confirm, vouch for or claim it. It is for your own personal consideration.
It does say “rumored”.
Milkshakes! Their machines worked!
^^^^ My FIL would roar laughing if that happened.
Mine would never be sitting there whining for me to get her stuff though.
