For years, right wing outlets like outlets like Fox News and talk radio have been telling their audience day after day that any information coming from outside of conservative media is not to be trusted.
I think if you're a regular viewer of Fox News, you're among the most cynical people on planet Earth. I cannot think of a more cynical slogan than 'Fair and Balanced.'
Conservatives don't want to read good, smart books. They mostly want to read Fox and talk radio hosts writing about presidents.
Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.
In the U.S., the conspiracy theory subculture has been hijacked by the Right to try to take down people like Obama and put forward rightwing libertarianism.
The right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.
Every now and again, people on the far right take a quote from a progressive out of context and use it to attack them.
Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox.
You can actually make your own Trump policies by going through the incinerator at the Daily Mail and picking through the dust for anything they thought might get them prosecuted.
The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
The greatest propaganda coup of the American Right has been to convince its citizens that we are in the grip of a liberal conspiracy.
The right wing has monopolized the AM radio airwaves.
Progressives know there is something very wrong when a nation divided politically has one major network operating as a propaganda arm of the Republican Party and 90 percent of talk radio is dominated by right-wing extremists.
Conservative talk radio works because there are lots of conservatives who are convinced that they are not getting the whole story from the regular media.
Depending on what state you live in, you may only have right-wing talk radio and FOX or CBN with MSNBC three hundred channels down the dial.
The people who whine about Fox News are hypocrites - they say they're totally tolerant, but when they run into someone who doesn't share their assumptions, they say, 'Fox News is evil, and it must be stopped.'
I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.
'24' had to withstand accusations of being right-wing, but 'Homeland' is a far more liberal show.
Trump was legitimized by birtherism, and he was abetted by a billion-dollar incitement industry.
'Liberal Fascism' is less an expose of left-wing hypocrisy than a chance to exact political revenge. Yet, the title of his book aside, what distinguishes Goldberg from the Sean Hannitys and Michael Savages is a witty intelligence that deals in ideas as well as insults - no mean feat in the nasty world of the culture wars.
Fox News is hated because they're elitists, and the worst winners television's ever seen.
For whatever reason, the mainstream media, for the most part, affixes itself to progressive or liberal propaganda.
If I lived my life according to what Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh said about me, I would just stay in bed all day.
Fox News is garbage.
One of the reasons I think the ultra right-wing has such power in this country is that no one talks out.
