Side note: I really fucking hate the term “Fake News”.

Fake News is The Onion

Agitprop (aka propaganda) is what Fox, RT, and right wing blog/media outlets spew on a daily basis.

That right wing outlets are busy trying to claim that legitimate news sources are fake news is itself agitprop. Trying to counter this is news, and the same right wing outlets claim fact-checking is also fake.

It’s lies all the way down for these fuckers, and who benefits? Putin. Billionaires. And people who are insulated from the consequences of losing the safety net and environmental protections and safety that federal programs provide.

In other words, very few people are going to benefit, and a whole mess of people are going to needlessly suffer. #GOPDontCare
