I saw this episode (don’t usually watch) because they started with a piece about Abbott’s response to the border crisis, slanted pro-Biden but even so, a few good quotes from “our side” ... then I watched the school book “banning” piece and it was outrageously slanted and edited, however, at some point, a critical mass of enraged parents will develop and these obfuscation tactics won’t work past a certain point.
A conspiracy theory is only a conspiracy theory if it isn’t true. When it becomes obvious that it is true, then the conspiracy is a proven fact. That is already emerging into the public consciousness far wider than the right wing blogosphere, but it will take a while and perhaps one or two sensational “revelations” to get the point across.
They aren’t conspiracy theories anymore.
They’re spoilers.
