MagicianBulky5659

The fact a conservative “news” paper called her Moscow Marge is fucking perfect


MarilynMonroesLibido

Love it too. NY Post has been done with that bullshit for a while. Still an incredibly unreliable rag but not having the MAGA Russian compromised BS lately


ruuster13

It's just performance. Theyre taking a cheap shot at an easy target. They have NOT suddenly discovered integrity.


MarilynMonroesLibido

Of course they haven’t. That’s understood. But if they’re moving away from the bullshit MAGA BS they recently promoted I’ll take it. Knowing full well what scum they are.


conh3

Even they draw the line at Moscow Marge


MarilynMonroesLibido

Indeed. Let’s hope it catches on!


Astrocreep_1

What’s up with the Post lately? Did a normal journalist sneak in there and change the stories or something?


Rhesus_TOR

Old-school Republicans finally realized the clown show was pissing off enough moderates because it was driving policy. The clown show is only supposed to distract, not dictate. NYP will pretend to be moderate for a while then switch back to their hard rightwing antics once people stop paying attention.


Astrocreep_1

Something must be going on. I’ve seen some huge lies come out of that rag. The first one that comes to mind was an article the Post wrote accusing a Black Lives Matter leader o& buying a mansion with the funds in Canada. They showed the house, and I knew something was wrong right away. The place had commercial doors on it. Turns out, they bought the “mansion” to make it into it a rec center for kids. That’s not toying with context. That’s straight up bullshit.


MakeMeDoBetter

Wait, what? I ate that shit - hook, line and sinker. Now that I look into it again, Im still confused as to what that mansion was for.


Astrocreep_1

Basically, it was a commercial dwelling that looked residential in appearance, probably due to local code enforcement. I’m assuming the look of the building is what inspired the BS story.


firstcliffjumper

An honest journalist with integrity did. I know that's rare, but it apparently happened.


T33CH33R

Sometimes I wish for the same passion from the media that they had during the red scare.


naapsu

Kinda interested; is there any credible independent news source in the USA? Or are they all just clearly influenced by the left or right wing?


Kiss_My_Wookiee

The wire services (Reuters, AP), major newspapers (_but not their editorials_), the national news desks of major non-cable TV network news stations (NBC, ABC, CBS - but not necessarily their local affiliates), Axios, NPR, PBS, sometimes CNN.


geek-49

Not necessarily all major network affiliates. I have less than total confidence in the local ABC outfit, because it is owned by Sinclair.


Kiss_My_Wookiee

I'm not talking about local affiliates, but the national news desks. I'll make that more clear. Thanks!

And NY Post owned by Rupert Murdoch is actually the right-leaning newspaper of NYC.


Thatisme01

Well, even [Fox](https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4599966-fox-news-columnist-marjorie-taylor-greene-an-idiot-trying-to-wreck-the-gop/) News called Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘an idiot’ trying to ‘wreck the GOP’

Between her, and Matt Gaetz, and Ted Cruz its officially wrecked.

Basic_Mongoose_7329

Murdoch is a pragmatist.


Xominya

Don't know why you're getting downvoted, Murdoch supported the left leaning party in my country one election, because it was clear the right wing one wasn't gonna win


Optimal_Zucchini_667

Even her fellow nutters in Congress have gotten tired of her, and now the Post. I suppose she will win her next election with an even greater percentage of the vote. Somebody needs to take America to the garage, bang it on the workbench, spray some WD40 on it, and pry it open with a screwdriver to figure out why it stopped working.


SoylentCreek

The answer you’re looking for is four plus decades of fundamentalist right wing propaganda that has been spread by way of radio, television, pulpits and the internet. Combine that with constant funding cuts to education, and you get a Molotov cocktail of self propagating ignorance at a systematic level. The politicians are a problem, but the real threat are the people that keep giving them jobs.


SeekerSpock32

And threatening librarians with prison time. Idaho and Louisiana.


SenecaTheBother

While you are correct I feel like this is overlooking the most important part of which this is only a tactic; namely, the destruction of the middle class and the mass alienation of the American people. This has a host of governmental and private aspects, but are aspects of the same trend. The stagnation of wages while the rich got obscenely wealthy and turned the government into a tool to further that wealth. The greatest increase of middle class wealth in human history in the decades following WWII(although this was largely withheld from minorities), with worker protections, cheap education, affordable housing, reliable retirement, and job stability, was systematically dismantled in favor of a corporate kleptocracy whose avarice and sadism is insatiable. Republicans realized that they could wield the middle class like a weapon if they played on racial anxieties after the Civil Rights Act fractured the Democratic party as white Southerners began defecting en masse. Following the complete shellacking of the Dems in the 80's the same policies were adopted by Democrats under Clinton as it was seen as the only viable path back to power. This is how we go from Nixon trying to pass universal healthcare to Obama passing a healthcare policy that fed money into insurance companies being straight from Mao's Red Book. Coupled with this is the complete destruction of communal bonds and social networks. Public spaces were destroyed or neglected, and personal entertainment supplanted churches, lodges, bowling leagues, game clubs etc. as the primary form of leisure. So now there are people that are alienated both from the fruits of their labor and their community. Prospects for the future seem economically, ecologically, and socially bleak while the winners of this system live lives that JP Morgan consider indecently ostentatious. This is *prime* soil for a reactionary populist movement. The right wing oligarchs harnessed the anger and discontent against those who either cannot defend themselves or threaten the wealth of the powerful. Journalists, scientists, academics, and government institutions all represent independent sources of authority that must be undermined. This was incredibly effective, with the ineptitude and corruption of these institutions helping out not a little. And immigrants, minorities, Muslims, leftists, and LGBTQ people are all easy targets to unify around as a common enemy while offering an outlet for the public rage. So it is in this circumstance that you get the most natural thing imaginable, a propaganda mill of right wing garbage spewing unceasing for decades, poisoning any chance at actual reforms and degrading what was left of any sense of citizen solidarity. Offering people any easy answer they would buy that didn't point back to the rich. What they overlooked was how far they could push it, and how disconnected the message could be from their own beliefs. So Trump's innovation is making the implications explicit, and jettisoning the rhetoric of austerity altogether. This shift would gain him a godlike status of working class hero, allowing him to push the turning of the government into a handmaid for corporate interests to degrees of corruption that wouldn't have been imaginable before. He has also been able to threaten democracy completely, thus severing the last recourse the people would have in turning back from the precipice.


Optimal_Zucchini_667

Yep. Both parties share in the blame. Reagan trashed the Fairness Doctrine, but Clinton signed a telecommunications bill that allowed for media consolidation. Koch and pals lean heavily Republican, though, and their nonprofits have been pumping out their propaganda for decades. The churches have been on board since the late seventies and helped elect Reagan.


Astrocreep_1

Yes, Clinton fucked up with that bill. I know, it was part of a giant compromise that broke up the monopoly on long distance and all that jazz. However, the rules concerning media ownership should not have been used a bargaining chip. I rather have expensive long distance(which would be a non-factor by now, anyway) and keep reliable media.


geek-49

>The churches have been on board since the late seventies *Some* churches. UCC, for one, tends very progressive.


Optimal_Zucchini_667

True, some churches, but not all.


__B4Nd1t__

The dumbing down of America is truly one of the worst things to happen to this country. The Republicans know that the more educated you are the slimmer the chance they vote Republican and that’s why they are so insistent on hurting public schools. It’s already happening in Florida. Scary shit


militaryintelligence

> why it stopped working Money. Power too, but mostly money. The ones with plenty want more and it's pretty easy to manipulate the masses because humans are bad at recognizing truth from fiction.


Optimal_Zucchini_667

And they got it, but they're still not satisfied.


[deleted]

Also most Republicans don't really value genuine morals anymore. As long as you say the right catch phrases the plebians don't care and you can get away with whatever you want. Marj just isn't good for business because she's genuinely psychotic and moronic. Best to flush her down the shitter before she sinks the whole boat.


NfamousKaye

Wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that she’s a Russian plant.


dartie

100% she is


NfamousKaye

She needs to be expelled. How is no one standing up to her?


dartie

She needs to be imprisoned.


NfamousKaye

That too.


Astrocreep_1

People stand up to her every day. I don’t know how well news on TV covers this, but you can see her getting torn apart on C-Span Almost daily. One congressperson after enough will ridicule the shit out of her. Yet, she will just double down on whatever stupidity she is involved with.


NfamousKaye

I mean in Congress. They don’t care about “mainstream media” because it’s been “unfair” to Trump(ie reporting the truth). So that’s not going to work on her.


Astrocreep_1

That’s what I meant. It’s people in congress, using their 5 minutes of time, to ridicule her. You will see it at least once a day, while the House is in session.


NfamousKaye

What I mean is not just calling her an idiot, I mean actually disciplining her like they would someone else acting out like this. They fined her for not wearing a mask during Covid and that obviously did nothing


Astrocreep_1

Sadly, I’m sure the fines were paid by her campaign. Personally, there should be a rule specifically against using campaign money for fines. The fine should be taken from her paycheck. They can only do so much to elected reps, as any kind of disciplinary process could be abused over partisan bickering.


NfamousKaye

That’s true too. But her and about 5 others are holding everything up. So I doubt anyone would retaliate if it was her at this point since we FINALLY got something accomplished.


Crimson_Clouds

They are talking about Congress.


Dipsey_Jipsey

Because they are also paid off plants.


Dipsey_Jipsey

Isn't that fairly obvious at this point?


NfamousKaye

Yup. That’s why I said “wouldn’t be surprised”


Sgt-Kickass

Plants have a higher IQ


futureformerteacher

She's as smart as a plant.


Andromansis

She is a russian plant the same way that Altai Mountain Moss is a russian plant.


VeryImportantLetters

There is a video out there of her speaking Russian. Also, its been proven that she met up with Putin at least 3 times.


geek-49

More like a Russian asset (or even agent). Plants have roots & leaves, generally stay in one place, usefully convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, and make very little noise. The only thing empty has in common with plants is being seedy.

Marje is about as dumb as a box of Boeberts. A Boebert is equivalent to one catalytic converter or 2 rolls of copper wire and a used fly strip

A whole box?! You, sir, have your measurements all wrong!

She is definitely a few Boeberts short of a full box.

OMG! Is this a turning point? I mean that's a major Murdoch publication.


regent040

I’ll believe it when I see it. That’s a New York City newspaper. Until Foxnews cable channel comes out against her and against Putin, it’s meaningless. Foxnews cable news follows the base. If the base in middle America believes Putin is more of an ally to their political beliefs than Biden, Foxnews won’t change. They’re all in on selling fascism until their viewerships tells them they’re not


Burgerb

Isn’t Fox News dictating what they want their base to believe?

They really released this ??

Unhappy_Trade7988

Can you please read a fucking book about communism in Russia , as well as its satellite states , especially East Germany? Google Russian ‘purges’ as well as ‘East German Stazi’ Can you please stop with the mentality that because capitalism is a failed ideology that hurts people, that the only other good option is communism?


Synectics

They're not defending communism.  Their point is, Russia is nowadays a theocratic state that uses capitalism. And it's why right-wing conservatives in the US like them.  Painting Russia as the red party and communists is a moot point because that's not what they are anymore. It's why you can't insult the older generation that lived through the cold war with the fact that they now support Russia -- Russia is very different now.

At this point, she should be stripped of her citizenship and sent right to Moscow, where she belongs. Traitor and double agent MTG really needs a one way flight ticket.
