The Many Faces of US Politics...

[whitey]

The problem is that everything gets hyped up as a massive scandal, whether or not there is actually something to it. There's outrage for a few days, usually partisan, then its forgotten. So people stop listening and assume that it is ALL bullshit (unless it suits them politically at a particular moment).

Hunter Biden may well have used his access or supposed influence to enrich himself; whether or not anything untoward came from that on his father's part would be the issue.

Whatever did happen, it is symptomatic of how run of the mill this type of corruption is that Hunter Biden would even try to make a living this way. Or that Joe, assuming he was above board, wouldn't see it as problematic or compromising, especially for himself.

The media share a lot of the blame here

They either "up play" or down play a story based on their affiliation

I know some very intelligent people and the stuff they actually believe as fact would shock you

They hear the headline and they hear the outrage, but they don't hear the quiet retraction or walk back 6 months later (if it happens at all)

Not seeing the problem with that, to be honest.

Tik Tok is just another social media outlet, like Twitter, and a rapidly expanding one.

[Eamonnca1]

TikTok is up to 2 billion downloads worldwide. In the linked article it says millions of people are getting their news about the war through that platform. Is this the conservative outrage excuse of the week? That the Biden administration is media savvy? Christ that's even lamer than tan-suit-gate.

[mrdeeds]

Yeah they should have spoke to Kanye West or Kim Kardashian instead.

Today in conservative douchebaggery, Tennessee Rethuglicans are advancing a Texas style anti-abortion bill that would allow the families of rapists to sue the rape victim's abortion provider. I swear this is not satire:

Funny how they didn't need such a high standard of proof when it came to sharing the contents of the "dossier"
