Oops - mentioned ChicagoConservative27 in my comment but forgot to copy him.
“I’ve always had the same pet peeve. And the answer is always this inane theory that “we need to know what the other side is saying.”
They really believe they are gathering strategic intel or something, when all they are really doing is helping the Left distribute their lies.
I don’t come on FR to read Leftist lies - if I wanted that, I’d watch the fake news!
But since certain FReepers think they are doing a service by posting fake news, my only recourse is to filter it out by looking at the poster before I read the headline. If it is one of the worst offenders, like, say, ChicagoConservative27, I just skip past it without even reading the headline or the teaser.
My list of well-meaning FReepers who brainlessly spread the Left’s propaganda is getting so long, I find I get through my review of FR much faster these days.”
Freepers who post left-wing garbage and anti-conservative propaganda here from Leftist rags always have the excuse of "keeping us informed of what the other side is saying about us" or some variation therof.
Well we already know the other side hates us and will spread all manner of lies to turn us against each other and sow FUD among us.
By re-posting it here, we are only helping them to spread their lies and disinformation. Take the headline of this thread for instance. It is so false that it's laughable. It shouldn't be taken seriously by any intelligent person.
In fact, the headline of this article is the absolute opposite of what Elon Musk is doing with Twitter. And this is a classic tactic that the Left uses by the way, they try to divide us by accusing us of doing what they are in fact actually doing themselves.
Yet the big lie gets posted here for discussion, as though it should be taken seroiusly. The people posting this garbage here are aiding and abetting the enemy and helping them to get this disinformation out to us. I have to question the motives of any Freeper that would do that.
