I thought people were memeing about how much she blames everything on Russia until I watched a couple of clips of her

Red MAGA propaganda - can you believe the libs think they know better than us, rage
Blue MAGA propaganda - we libs know better than them, rage
Synthesis: red libs who know better than everyone how to loot the country by enraging everyone as a distraction
Ehhhh that's giving her waaaaaaaaaaay too much credit. Not many people watch MSNBC
Yeah this is insane and would imply Maddow is good at what she does lol there’s not many burgers who give a shit about Russian interference
It's plausible that Russia preferred Trump to his Democratic rivals, and did a little bit of trolling to fuck with America. But only to the tune of 0.1% of their military budget, not the 20% of GDP it would take to get anywhere near what BlueMAGA keeps accusing.
My impression is it's less about pushing Trump and more about causing conflict within the US. There were Internet Research Agency(commonly called a troll farm) linked accounts pushing both sides of the COVID stuff, both sides during the BLM protests, etc.
Dems blaming things on Russian disinformation plays right into that goal, too. If you want to rile up the US populace, make people feel like everyone they disagree with is brainwashed by evil outside forces. Republicans did the same shit with TikTok, blaming China for young leftists, trans people, etc.
Well Kamala's campaign spent over 1 billion dollars and it didn't seem to make any difference 
That had to be money laundering.
i feel like it's a mistake to let the face of these operations have too much credit. This is a performance, and it is an editorial team that sets her agenda, it's a crew that manages her image, and it's the network that gives her the platform - the personalities of these people are there for your consumption and an icon you're encouraged to relate to and see as a teacher.
A friendly feminine presence who is there every night to tell you how to be an obedient little liberal
but never forget she's just a performer in an ensemble.
I guess Bill O'Riely would be the Republican equivalent of her
Wrong, Bill is the shoulders which Rachel stands on. Every cable news talking head is copying his game. Bill walked so Tucker could run. He's only irrelevant now because he accelerated the american conservative past him.
I'd even go so far as to say he's a couple rungs down in terms of history. Tucker is standing on Glen Beck who is standing on O'Rielly.
This although Beck was standing on the shoulders of Alex Jones more than O'Reilly
Regardless of the order, whoever is standing on Alex Jones is standing on his roid gut, not his shoulders.
I cast Spicy Chili at the Roidgoblin
Roll for damage
Critical failure: you forget the names of your children
Fair enough, though O'Reilly was always kinda cribbing from Jones. He just never had the intensity. If we want to go that route though then they are all standing on Rush Limbaugh. As for who was most effective of the lot, hard to say.
Also not to forget Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM fame, whom I just learned while relistening to (I think) a Qanon Anonymous episode apparently died in a shootout with the cops just after 9/11 lmao.

John Stewart was a cheerleader for norms and civility from about 2002-2015. He defined what as worthy of ridicule (Kucinich, Chelsea Manning, occupy movement) and ultimately what was worthy of respect .
What was his problem with Chelsea Manning lmao
I think it was something like "yeah war crimes are bad, but leaking secrets that put service members in danger is unacceptable." It's civility, but with the chain of command.
Sure their job is to be endangered and every boot worshipper is constantly using that as justification for why they should be the only ones with rights and shit, but also hOW DARE anything put them in danger.
Ahh yes the old "endangering the troops" hobby horse they trot out to silence dissent, protest, or opposition. A charge they never level against the generals and emperors, kings and presidents, and fitting because of the topic of this thread, propagandists. The ones responsible for putting the troops in harms way to begin with.
endangering the troops
The picture of Abu Ghraib and the Collateral Murder video radicalised young me to the point where that's my reaction.
Why isn't it an emoji?
I think Chelsea served more time than any of the abu ghraib torturers (And obviously the commanders actually responsible for abu ghraib were never held responsible)

Back before I was an ML I knew a few PMC liberal types who listened to Rachel Maddow. Yes, those individuals were the worst humans one could imagine. But what used to shock me was how non-Amerikans would listen for an hour (?) each day about Russian electoral interference.
