Read a piece years ago now about a guy who made a living creating right wing bullshit for Facebook. Started to feel guilty post Trump win he was destroying the world. Tried to make some left wing bullshit instead, but it never took off because someone would fact check it right away and kill it.

Reality has a well established left wing bias.

Amazing

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Gotta admit the Dodgers are absolutely the bad guys in this MLB final four. The Duke of baseball.

Thinking about the person driving home with that flag after a loss and thinking about how sad that would be lol

Cubs fan with a Wrigley Field North sign surrounded by brewers fans which kinda makes it seem silly too

The playoff series losing monkey is now off the back, they're playing a team no one expects them to beat. Just go fuckin win the thing.

The #Brewers are offically now playing with house money.

No one expected them to even be in the playoffs, but the fact that they're in the NLCS was borderline absurd at the start of the season.

On the other side is the billion dollar Dodgers. Fuck them and the gilded chariot they rode in on.
