Trump vs The Cult

Trump is the phony, Not Fox News - Mish with a pretty good take on Trump and polls though he needs to clarify the headline. In this case the Fox poll is clearly in line with other polls so yep, Trump is the phony. Still there is no universe where Fox News is not phony overall.


Media

The Rage Unifying Boomers and Gen Z - Explaining today's protests to the old rich elite who may be wondering what's behind these protests they are hearing about.

Inside The Cult - Explaining the Trump Cult to a younger rich elite who are wondering just who these Trump supporters are.
tnb here.... 
Every person in this is an example of what you become if you watch the world through the Fox News filter. White is good, brown is bad, rural is good, big cities are crime ridden cesspools, media is fake, the Clintons and all politicians are all crooks, the deep state, liberals, hollywood and higher education are against real america, our religion is great others are evil, screaming for freedom (but not for you),  the rest of the world is against us, blah.. blah.. blah, blah, blah.
I know a bunch of people who think exactly like this. I've watched as they've been drawn into the cult over the last 30 years. Most started out as dope smoking freedom loving hippy-types but have spent much of the last 30 years on a steady diet of Fox News, Rush, Hannity, and others, like WLW's Bill Cunningham. Now a huge percentage have become racist, gun toting, Fox-Talking bots, absolute experts in whatever rage topic Fox is promoting this week, believing all others are lying to them. 
Conservative media, with support from the Rs built the cult. For years it was an army of rage bots they could wield for power but Trump took it over. He was rich, famous, looked presidential, said the same things the cult believed because he was programmed by the same cult. He was one of them. They fell for him and the US as we have known it will never be the same.

Good example of leading the cult.

Probably the biggest US news story of the day (6/20/20) is the Trump administration announcing the resignation of a US attorney who has been investigating Trump (and Epstein), That attorney, Geoffrey Berman, then announced that he had not resigned and planned on continuing his investigations.

This is on the front page of BBC, CNN, NBC, NYT, CBS, WP, basically all the major US news outlets. So what is headline news on Fox? An opinion piece by Newt.

The Cult knows nothing about the resignation. Fox will eventually report on this once the Cult leadership has decided on "the story"





Israel vs Palestine

With the World Focused on the Pandemic, Israel Prepares to Annex Large Swaths of the West Bank
"ISRAEL IS PLANNING a move on July 1 that the international community has long regarded as one of the gravest assaults on the international order and international law: annexation of land that does not belong to it. The annexation plan developed by the Netanyahu government in consultation with the Trump administration would declare not only the decades-old settlements in the West Bank which the U.N. Security Council in 2016 declared illegal to be permanent Israeli land, but also other swaths of Palestinian territory, including the Jordan Valley, that is central to Palestinian agriculture."

As the US police become “Israelized,” you, the American people, become “Palestinianized.”
