When Fox News and News Max neocons are in line with msm telling us we should fear Xi consolidation of power I not only question the narrative, I feel safe rejecting it.
They balked at Trump calling it the China virus are now blaming Xi for covid.
Red flags like this should get your attention.
When I still watched TV like over 8 years ago now, I used msm talking points as my guide of what not to believe, or just assumed the opposite side on an issue. Since I got rid of TV and by extension the msm, I realized most of their talking points no matter what side one took was a distraction.
