When Trump won in 2016, a small but notable change in how people got their news and information transpired. In reality, it was a long time coming; in some ways it started with Drudge and Clinton.
With Bannon leaving Breitbart and Trump winning, a new generation of people pivoted from the MSM to “alternative media.” New careers - and new listeners - arose for people like Milo Yianapolis, Steven Crowder, Breitbart, FR, Fox, and so on. The pandemic- to a great extent- fueled the growth in alternative media when it was clear that the MSM and Social Media were shilling for statism.
Along the way, however, some of the “new media” just lost their mind. I think, to some degree, these personalities confused freedom with No Rules. God gave us rules, and they are eternal. We have seen what happens when people become decoupled from morality.
With this confusion, we saw lots of new media fall…Milo was the most spectacular (though he clearly had issues for the get-go). But Fox dropped lots of hosts and became unwatchable, new outlets like Gateway Pundit started pushing sensationalism, Steven Crowder lost his audience with his abhorrent behavior, and more.
With this “freedom” people started saying whatever they wanted without sufficient reflection. We see it on FR, too…many people have raised the issue of name-calling, blatant bigotry, outright anti-semitism, and wishing murder and death on people. Parenthetically, many of the right-wing “new media” sources like Slay News are utter toilets. Basic fact-checking is nowhere most of the time.
Now, the left has ALWAYS been creepy with its bigotry, fascism, and murder-wishing. But they don’t have God.
The latest “thing” is “anti-Zionism” which, in many cases, is just good old-fashioned Joe Sobran-like anti-semitism but with prettier faces and better PR. Candace, Tucker, et al are the standard-bearers. Separately, many folks got consumed with the whole Russia-Ukraine thing and have become cheerleaders for Putin or Zelinsky. Indeed, these food fights on FR have sort of replaced the Religion food fights.

Wish that Candace Owens would take Hillsdale's online American History course(s).

Trump is not defending her or involved at all because this is her priority, not his.
When it all boils down, I don’t care who Macron is married to or sleeping with. It just doesn’t matter.
Can you imagine what FR would have been like around 1939 or 1940?
Everybody would be calling each other one of, “Hitler Lover”, “Limey Lover”, “Jew Lover”, “Stalin Lover”, or, worst of all, “FDR Lover”.
Candace’s background is sus, in my opinion, and seems like a leftist plant. Trump has had nothing to do with her this go ‘round, and she’s ticked. She’s a rabid racist anti-Semite and really, not that bright.
Trump knows she does not have true qualifications and is just a talking head. He’s not letting those types near his administration this time.
Them and more than a few freepers.
I can accept the possibility that MO is woman partially transitioning into a man.
That would explain a lot of things.
Seriously, it Bruce Jenner feels compelled to get in touch with his feminine side, why can't MO feel complied to get in touch with her masculine side .
Fair is fair.
The economics of the “new media” drive a lot of this.
More clicks = more money.
If you are boring you go broke.
There is no real penalty for getting basic facts incorrect.
You can always apologize tomorrow if necessary.
That said—it is a still a major improvement where we got to pick between Leftist A and Leftist B and Leftist C and Leftist D on network television.
I don’t want anyone gatekeeping me.
I am not a farm animal.
Unless it affects politics on the world stage, or their ability to govern, then you're right.
The only thing that concerns me is coming to the realization that someone who does not show integrity in their personal life cannot be trusted to show integrity in their public life or business or political dealings.
Yes, I had to block her after a few sessions of hearing her rant about the Jews. It is disgusting on so many levels. She engaged in an academic exercise in spinning lies and the bully pulpit to disparage Jewsj, going to so far as to wear a narrative that the Jews are no longer Jews, but Europeans. Of course this anti-Jewish rant about them being FAKE JEWS is part of the vile Christian extremist wing claims that because the jews no longer exist that only those who follow Jesus can be God’s People. I had be shocked when a good friend and Amry Chaplain tell me this FAKE JEW Story as well.
As a Christian I can not justify stealing God from the Jews on any grounds, that according to their religion as I understand Judiasm from two years in Isreal that for the Jews Jesus does not meet their requirements for their coming Messiah.
Alert me when the ‘discovery’ phase of the trial starts.
Interesting take.
I watched all of Candaces shows about Brigite. There is zero doubt... thats a man Baby.
Battle of wits, begin! What a dunce.
Check
This isn’t the first time she’s done a 180,
When someone can change on a dime once, they can do it again.
I don’t believe she takes anything seriously at all; she’s in it all for her own advantage and there’s no there there.
Between this and her anti semitism nonsense Candy has gone completely off the Rez. One wonders why her husband George Farmer has not staged an intervention.
“seems like a leftist plant.”
You’re giving her far too much credit for intelligence and ability.
As someone else has said, she thinks she’s the smartest person in the room, and also thinks she can do whatever she wants. She uses sensationalism to build her ‘brand’ and will say just about anything for clicks and views.
I don’t think she believes in anything at all except herself.
The interview Candace did with Tucker was entertaining and enlightening. She brought up a couple of excellent points:
1. Why on earth is the president of France asking the president of the US to silence a journalist? And apparently Trump did call Candace to discuss this case, though he did not silence her—because this is America.
2. Far from appearing “panicked”, Candace seemed eager for the French suit to proceed. She said she was looking forward to discovery.
3. Even assuming that Brigitte is a woman after all, it seems that she began her relationship with Macron when he was 14 — and she was in her 30s or 40s. The relationship is far from normal.
Check out the Tucker interview if you’ve got some time available.
