Especially hate how self-referential they are… every damn link is another hit piece they carefully crafted to make it appear that they are well sourced. Disgusting manipulation at its finest.
A mix of current events interspersed with bold faced lies, many of which are logical leaps based off of a trigger word like “insurrectionist” or “white supremacist”, which will link out to an article full of a previous set of current events, interspersed with trigger words linking out to other articles.
I’m pretty damn sure I’ve even seen articles with circular links, each linking back to the other.
Even better is when the articles link out to “Deboonked” stuff like the Trumpers (read: anti Trump FBI agents) who sought to overthrow governor Whitmer.
“Parents have turned into violent mobs, following their violent insurrectionists from Jan 6”, which will have “insurrections” linked out to an article that reads “Supporters say the protest was peaceful, but it was full of angry white supremacists”, which will link out to “a group of anti-Trumpers tried to overthrow Michigan Governor”
