Love all of these new parody news sites popping up. They almost look like actual news sites!
Even more amusing:


Media bias fact check rates the parody news site as highly factual and among the most credible sources on the internet.

This is a bit old yeah but I'd not seen this till just now. A British cop was trying to restrain a man who's had a history of assault and rape. The guy has a machete and tries to hack into the cop's head with said machete. For some reason the charge of attempted murder was dropped (pure insanity) but not long after, you have the lawyer demanding that the MET bring charges against the cop for "assaulting" the criminal. An absolutely legendarily hot take that I doubt writers for the Babylon Bee or the Onion could even hope to dream up.

That is the worst formatted article I've ever seen; the images alone are way too big, and the text is confusingly laid out.

Yes where is all of the anti-Trump media out there? No one is out there providing a counterbalance to Fox's ruthless rhetoric tearing down Joe Biden. :sneaky:



I made a thread the other day about how the left has gone into gaslighting as a tactic for their political battles, and fuck me does that show a great examples of the absurdity they have reached.

Behold literal fake news:


“Not once gone to war” eh? The 1979 border war with Vietnam involved entire divisions! I’ve seen clips from at least one Chinese film about it.

...

Mr. Parti’s mind would be blown to learn about all the wignats who simp for China as a based authoritarian ethnostate that handles rebellious minorities the right way and is going to destroy ZOG...


Mr. Parti is a lobbyist and apologist for the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the founder of the National Iranian American Council which oftentimes tows the line for the regime.

And US Congress critters have called for a DoJ investigation of said organization recently.


He's also the Executive VP (as you can see on his Twitter profile) of the Quincy Institute, a Soros (and Koch Brothers) founded thinktank that loves to praise China.


So he might have a pretty strong POV bias on the whole issue regardless. ;)

Forgot to mention how trash the article itself is. This is what I mentioned before about hyperventilating proglodyte screeds. The entire thing is written to be as aggravating as possible. The only thing he got right was saying that places like Denmark and Norway aren't actually proto-socialist countries.
Of course it was annoying to me because I could see through the lies, but it's basically fear porn to regular readers. How many American Liberals who subsist on a diet of this literary garbage are motivated to reach the conclusion that there's no voting their way out of the present situation?

As if Rubin was a “conservative”.

I was right, their tentatively laying the ground work to dispose of the Republican party all together. De legitimatizing and it’s voters and thus ensuring one party democrat rule.

That's just asking for a civil war.

A very very nasty one.

The argument will be anyone who is a Republican is basically a Nazi anyway and we don’t consider Nazis legitimate do we?

This will make the Republican Party either de jure illegal or make it so no one will run as Republican.

It’s basically stripping the franchise from large sections of the population.

Like I said that is not very smart.

As in people have had revolutions over less smart, elections act as these release valves that keep things calm you remove centuries old political parties at your own peril.

A couple paragraphs in, and she's just trotting out all the hard left talking points.

'Conservative' only in the sense of 'once I can redefine words to mean anything I want, I can be whatever I want!'

"You are a Nazi!"

"What do you mean? I have never been a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party?"

That is what Nazi means. Do I agree with what they did in World War 2? Hell no but the Left keeps throwing the term out so often itis losing its OOmph. So we hit them with the fucking definition. Or we say "Ok, Communist." To see how they react.
