    Are children and young adults really more impressionable than Fox news

    Fox News isn’t being paid by the Federal or State Governments to run “Ads” that attempt to put a positive spin on negative events.

        Was the US Federal Government paying Fox News to run ads talking about how the mass murder of American Indians was a good thing?

        No? Then GTFO out of here with this whataboutism. It’s fucking gross.

      Does it count when a major political party, that does that all the time, uses the money it pilfered from that government, or is that different somehow?

      What about that the only reason they’re not doing it directly from the government account is because of the safeguards against that kind of thing they haven’t pulled down yet

        A political party is not the Government nor do their ads attempt to whitewash Government misdeeds.

          A political party makes up parts of the government and uses their ads to whitewash their own actions within the government.
