It is also my understanding that Snopes brought it upon themselves in a way. Somebody at Snopes had their feelings hurt over a article in the Bee and decided to go scorched Earth on them. Personal feelings got mixed up with business policy.
This!

I think it’s adorable that conservatives have discovered satire and I fully support their foray into it! :nod:
I know, right?

What I'm triggered by is the constant attacks on the "mainstream media" by people on the right when the real misinformation problem is associated with Republican politicians and "right wing" media sources. A system of representative government has an issue when reasonably accurate sources of information are under frequently successful attack like the "mainstream media" are now.

I said/wrote it long ago early in Trump's campaign for the Presidency: This is a guy who has a lot of skeletons in his closet and who operates by scamming and lying to people. It was important to him to discredit the mainstream media because he knew they would call him out on it. He knew that he had to try to discredit them in order to keep people from believing the truth. And the extent to which he's succeeded in that effort is very disturbing.

ABC should have just said it was parody a la Adam Schiff.

Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

It was lazy use of b-roll but you’re laying it on a little thick here. To be honest, the MSM’s protection of the establishment is every bit as troubling and dishonest as the reporting. For some reason, most conks never tend to address that.

Not sure they have to. It was probably used in another ABC piece at some point or made available publicly. Laziness for sure.
