It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy
Why a second Trump term is a mortal threat to democracy — though perhaps not the way you think.
You're viewing part of a thread.
The only talking point is the report from a conservative news paper.
Not just a conservative news paper: Conspiracy Theories, Propaganda, Failed Fact Checks.
So what? Are you admitting that you will only accept news from sources that agree with your political views? Do you know how stupid that is? Literal NPC behavior. Did you even take time to read the article and consider what it says before rejecting it? Oh my days.

I'm not the person you responded to, but I prefer my news sources to not fail fact checks, push propaganda, and spread conspiracy theories.
Do you know how stupid that is?
Literal NPC behavior.
You even use the dehumanizing rhetoric that extreme right people are using in order to make it easier to see them as less than human.

Why would anyone trust them after they've failed numerous fact checks? You're literally trusting an outlet that's pushing fake news.
This would have been my answer as well... Thanks for paraphrasing it such a good way.
The value of a newspaper is only when it is fact checked.
If fact check fails, what's the point of reading it. May the lemmy users know?
And also be a bit more respectful to others if they are not in the same boat as your own political views.

Is that so? And which news sources are those so I can also avoid propaganda, and conspiracy theories? I want to be politically correct like you.

How do you survive on the internet being this soft? "oH mY gOd! ThEy CaLlEd Me An NpC! tHeY mUsT bE a FaR rIgHt ExTrEmIsT!". Grow a fucking spine.

Because unlike you, I like hearing stories from both sides and doing my own research no matter what side is "fact checked" or "correct". We all know the media can be bought and paid for to spread certain narratives for internal benefit. Has been happening since the beginning of time. Pledging allegiance to a handful of news sources because they claim to be "fact checked" is a symptom of media illiteracy. You are no different from the fox news dependent conservatives.
