    I remember when Joe was a harmless idiot that had some fun.

    Rather than a right wing crackpot.

    I always thought it was weird when he said you needed to listen to all types of media like Fox as well as MSNBC. I was like, you can listen to neither of those things … Let’s not forget Fox got sued for libel/slander in the Dominion case as well. So it’s not another opinion or side that Fox is on, it’s outright propaganda.

      I was into his clips on YouTube for a short while before corona and the Spotify deal. Even back then the algorithm decided to pipeline culture war bullshit into your feed in an attempt to radicalize you to alt right bullshit if you watched his clips.
      When I was on Reddit I kept looking at his subreddit to amuse myself with the ignorant stupidity and the insecure overcompensating of the commenters.

      I think there’s value in being exposed to other media sources outside your circle but it’s extremely tough to take Fox with anything less than a bucket of salt.

      I occasionally see articles from them and they’re poorly written, clearly leaving important parts out, and have random clearly biased editorial asides. Like “Joe Biden, who experts have heavily criticized” but never saying which experts or what criticism

      I fucking hate that people are like FOX news or MSNBC, as though they are two sides of a coin.

      MSNBC might be left leaning, but FOX is straight up crazy lies and bullshit.

      It’s like saying you could eat brussel sprouts or diarrhea. You know either or…
