    I think we should not use "low information voter" for people like this. Instead, we should use "disinformation voter".

    Perhaps “disinformationed”?

    Here’s another one:

    Though this one is easy to explain. He’s for the racism….and the sexism…but as soon as it becomes personal to him….he’s out. So he’s a Republican.

    This is a total fail because the chick with the microphone didn't immediately follow up with "Biden lowered the cost of insulin-- shouldn;t you vote for him?" Instead, she basically agreed...

    The Right would say informing an interview subject is not a reporter's job. I know it's not her job to agree with her.

    What would be great is a daily news segment where the anchors show clips like this, point out things like Biden lowering the cost of insulin and then discuss whether right-wing voters are actually duped by their leadership or are simply denying their true conservative nature wrt race.

    It’s a reference to Arnold’s catchphrase on Diff’rent Strokes. Willis was the older brother.

    There’s a blog I follow that finds little tidbits every 3-4 months supporting his contention that the disintegration of social consensus has been driven by the invention and popularity of Fox News. Here’s another data point.

    Murdoch created both Fox News and Sky News. The question then becomes why would Fox News have this effect but not Sky News?

    UK has the equivalent of a fairness doctrine and their slander laws are much less protective of news organizations. In the UK, the Bidens would basically own the Conservative media sphere after all the crap they’ve been sending at them.

    also, the dominance of the BBC and cable TV didn’t really take-off in the UK as much as it did in the US.

    Deffo disinformation. My insulin cut to $35 from $117 under Biden.

    It’s only 23 seconds. Yall should watch it just so you can understand how thoroughly Fox lies to its viewers. It’s in the little details, like how now Trump is “almost 80.” The little aside about what happens whenever Trump moves.

    It's "cruel and unusual punishment" to make him sit in a courtroom instead of being outside in the sun. :rolleyes:
