Possibly, but it still has a long ways to go.

In a roundabout way yes, but it was more a case of the media exposing themselves (insert Jeffrey Toobin joke here) to their lying and deceit.

They're libs but they're redpilled.


Dore yes, Ball no. She has her issues with Democrats but she hates Trump. She tends to view the crap Democrats do as mistakes and anything Trump did as an intentional threat to America. About the only thing she is right about it the establishment media. Given her stance on everything else though I feel that has to do as much with her working for a non-estabishment media source as it does anything else. Glenn Greenwald or Matt Taibbi would be a much better example to use than Ball.

They are going full tilt in telling everyone that Game Stop (GME) squeeze is over and trying to get the APES to jump back into AMC, gold, silver, crypto, etc.

The funny thing on the reddit boards is that so many of them refuse to see the manipulation that happened with Trump and COVID. And, many are freaking out that "anons" or "q" types are among them and buying and holding GME. They have bought the anti-qanon media push hook line and sinker, but they hate and see the manipulation with Wallstreet.

It is a sad, hoot.

I don't think you can credit Trump as much as you can conservative talk radio.

She quit MSNBC because they ordered her to be a propagandist and she wasn't willing to compromise her journalistic integrity.
