But this is also what the folks behind this want. Rural America is easier to radicalize when they aren’t exposed to all that woke empathy crap on Sesame Street or facts-based reporting from NPR. If PBS news hour sounded like Fox News, they wouldn’t have cut their funding

My grandparents think NPR is leftist propaganda and PBS has a "trans agenda" whatever that means. They're too far gone.

This is depressing. What is "trans agenda" and why do they think it affects them? Do they even know a single trans person in real life, assuming that is what they are scared of? I honestly do not understand any of this at all.

Well they know my wife but not that she's trans lmao they live less than an hour away and we never really see them due to the comments they make. Just not worth putting her through that.

PBS News Hour has, perversely, spent the last five years incinerating its credibility among thinking people in an attempt to curry favor with their enemies. This apparently did not work.

They already vote that way, making it irrelevant. The play now is to make sure no young people continue to live in rural communities.

Have a bipartisan concensus that rural communities should largely be separated from services.

You sort of touched on it, but yes this isn’t about changing the minds of adults, it’s about keeping the kids in those areas from questioning what they are being told by those around them

Fact based reporting, like the Hunter Biden laptop story isn't a story, or Pres Biden is fully mentally competent, or firing a coworker for calling out a progressive bias in the newsroom?

We can do with less of that, I think.

I mean, from outside the US, the only thing I've learned from the hunter laptop leak is that he is a coke user, he fuck prostitutes and have a porn-sized penis, which frankly, is the only truly surprising thing and also knowledge I can do without. So unless 4chan became extremely less pro-trump than I remember, I do think it isn't a story.

There are also records of him talking with and about his dad with his business partners.

I didn't know about the pornstar angle, but I guess that explains how he could be doing his sister-in-law and another woman at the same time

Which is like, not surprising at all? Heirs are often dumb shitters who use their parents name to try to succeed because they can't really do anything themselves.

Man, if you're ahead of 4chan on any kind of semi-celebrities gossip, semi-political topic, you have to ask yourself questions. I'm not taking 4chan as a source of truth, at all, but 4chan self-claimed 'degens' are often on top of the subject they find, and you are ahead of them here. On a story from 3 years ago.
