Is Sean Hannity a journalist? Role of hosts is key in Fox News lawsuit.
The issue could cut both ways for Fox, which argues that hosts who aired false claims of election fraud acted as pundits with the leeway to express opinions — but also seeks to protect their private communications with ‘sources.’
Of course not, he is an entertainer, a clown who performs for a crowd that needs a focus point for their #vitriol, #racism and #fascist idealism. just sayin

Do you ever want to show up to a school board after they've banned some #LGBTQIA shit and ask them what they think the 2nd amendment is for.
You believe deadly force is the ultimate answer to government overreach and oppression. So maybe look around at how outnumbered you shit-spewing #fascist fucks are. And then ask yourself what you would do in our position.
If the government was hunting you? Trying to harm, or outright kill you?
It is not just right to defend ourselves, it is righteous.
Dear every Big #Media outlet trying to get me to click on an article on how 45 is "about to be #indicted" and the countless semantic variations on that:
"#indictment imminent/expected, rumoured/forthcoming," etc.

This #fascist was elected because you benefited financially from #clickbait pretending to be #news.
Time and again, you let us down. We do not trust your predictions.
When you have actual news, report it. Otherwise...
The following are all quotes from the post
“It’s very naive to think that there’s a peaceful co-existence today, and the bottom line is, it’s either us or them.” - Billy Falling, Christian Voters League
"When Pat Buchanan announced, “There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America” at the Republican National Convention last August, he was surrounded by GOP delegates who knew exactly what he was talking about.
Forty percent of those delegates came to the convention through campaigns orchestrated by members of the Christian religious right — a collective term for fundamentalist, Pentecostal, evangelical and charismatic Christian Republicans who believe in a narrow, literal interpretation of the Bible. ...

I'm up to late 92 in my posts on #Christian #fascist #politics and this post from November really punches both policies - including the border wall - and political theory and social practice.
It's *always* been about eradication. They *said so*. The problem was always getting normies to believe they meant it.

Why do #Russians not want to die a natural death? Why do they die, some from alcohol, some from poverty, some from the hands of #Putin regime, some in an unjust #war? Why do they allow themselves to be turned into meat in the slaughterhouse of #RussiaUkraineWar? Why is it more convenient for them to kill innocent #Ukrainians and defenders of #Ukraine? Why do they allow Putin's #fascist regime to kill the #freedom fighters? Why did they become cowards and scum, who are destined for dog death?

Florida Bill Mandates Teaching ‘Benefits of Monogamous Heterosexual Marriage’ and Bans Girls From Discussing Menstruation
A Florida Republican lawmaker’s bill would require schools to teach the “benefits of monogamous heterosexual marriage,” effectively teach that transgender people don’t exist, ban young women from discussing menstrual cycles and menstruation, and would require students be falsely taught that HIV can only be contracted through sex.

Ron DeSantis' Media Crackdown Raises Free Speech Alarms
Ron DeSantis has been accused of seeking to turn his state into a "petri dish" of "anti-press freedom culture,"
Proposed legislation would make it significantly easier for publications to be sued for defamation, treat anonymous sources as "presumptively false" and require the registration of bloggers who make money writing about elected officials.

https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-media-crackdown-raises-free-speech-alarms-1788005
Today in #Republican #Christian #fascist insanity, Florida state representative Stan McClain has introduced a bill that would prohibit discussions about sex, gender, or human reproductive functions in schools prior to the 6th grade. Pressed on whether this bill will make it illegal for girls to discuss their menstrual cycles at school, McClain stated that it will.
> What we are experiencing in America right now is an asymmetrical attack on basic freedoms — a #fascist movement that thrives on targeting certain groups, erasing #history, and spreading dangerous falsehoods through a vast media apparatus. To call this a “culture war” is to legitimize the contemporary #GOP and its extremist counterparts as a coherent and authentic “culture” worthy of respect.

It looked like that to me at first. Stanford administration certainly saw it that way.

"Doing research, came across a letter from a 23-year-old reader to his small-town newspaper. It could be a summary of today's mainstream Republican talking points, but it's from 4 years before Fox News existed, 23 years before Trump ran.
Any guesses who was so ahead of his time?"
But the #MSM will tell us it's a #CultureWar, implying equal fault -- because, you know, they're run by #sociopath #billionaires who benefit from turning the #U.S. into a #fascist #state
one of the worst mistakes in (esp but not only online) anti-fascism is to presume that fascism is a team, & as long as someone opposes the #fascist team, they are safe from engaging in #fascism themselves.
fascism is in part the embrace of death, aggression, & destruction. as such, fascists attack each other nearly as often as they attack "others." it's one of the reasons fascism has trouble maintaining itself over time. & you love to see it.
but all of us are susceptible to fascism.

He's done this so frequently, so consistently, so intently that there should now be no doubt that he's a propagandist, a hypocrite and a liar. This has been so thoroughly established as fact that the reaction to his latest effort feels almost respectful….
