A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Texas hospitals and doctors are not obligated to perform abortions under a longstanding national emergency-care law, dealing a blow to the White House’s strategy to ensure access to the procedure after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion in 2022.

    And they claim that they “don’t hate women they just love babies! <3 <3”

    I am disgusted, but not surprised.

          I wonder what it would cost to secretly buy up faux news and maybe OAN and the start pushing “subversive” material. (The truth is subversive, yes?)

            It would probably be easier to just make a new one. Have a few articles slamming dems, but then secretly push left wing politics in a “conservative” voice.

            “Biden doesn’t have to balls to pass the Freedom Health Care Act” (which will secretly be socialized health care).

            They’re so dumb they’ll believe anything of it comes from an obese red faced man yelling. Just slip “and our guns?!!!” In every so often.

              I would disagree but when Fox was whining about what AOC believed in and put it on a bulleted list it was as much an eye opener as you can get into the thinking of a conservative. Specifically that they can say “caring for seniors” is a bad thing with a straight face knowing nobody would question them.

              hah. exactly. Though, honestly… OAN and Faux news has name recognition. it’s hard to take the views from them, or to build up such a network. Remember. Fox was purposes built to sell propaganda since '96(?). we don’t have that kind of time

                Well, you’re right that we don’t have that kind of time. The effort would have to be very organized, and it would cost a lot of money. I doubt that kind of funding could be raised knowing it was a farce without the truth getting out.

            They’re not for sale. They’re ideological organizations. At best you’d need a decades long con to even float the idea.

              everybody has a price. The more… noble… people, that price might not be cash. but every one has a price.

              Murdochs? yeah, they’ll sell if it’s high enough. They’ll even keep it quiet if it’s high enough.

                I doubt that with these people. When you have the kinds of money these people do it’s not about more money but more power. Quite literally controlling how a not insignificant portion of the “western world” views the world is absolutely invaluable.
