MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds.
That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage.

Why does RFK Jr. continue to spread the lie that the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer when countries around the world have shown its effectiveness in preventing cancers?
Because he makes money on lawsuits filed against the HPV vaccine manufacturers.

The bottom line wrt to TikTok flip flops is that Trump actually does not give a 💩 if there is a national security threat to the United States — even from a hostile country that wants to destroy us — as long as there is something in the “deal” that benefits him politically or financially.
