Fuck those assholes.
Sorry you feel that way.
Just as a word of warning to you, Mrebo, the abortion issue is a very personal one for Frink.

I hate everybody at the women’s march and I hate everybody at the march for life and I hope the ground splits open and all of them fall into the Earth. Sounds fair and unbiased to me.
On the media subject, the right has attempted and succeeded on their side to falsely label the media as one big liberal entity. It isn’t. Fox News is the biggest cable network and is as biased against the Democrats as ever (as Frink pointed out), conservatives have nearly a monopoly on talk radio, InfoWars and it’s ripoffs are huge, plenty of online outlets and YouTube are full of rightwing drivel. The left is not unique in running shit news outlets. Also, the shit leftwing outlets aren’t as bad as the shit rightwing outlets. InfoWars and Breitbart are a million times worse than things like Vox, Jezebel, or even the Young Turks.

That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that “pro-life” is a clever misnomer.

Universal healthcare and ending the wars are things that they should value and if they don’t then I question their character. I must just be splitting.

Not enough facepalms in the world. I don’t know what’s worse: that after a US Senator was informed he was personally helping spread Russian propaganda, the Senator’s first instinct was to pretend he wasn’t just personally implicated and yell “Fake News!” at the media, or that, for his followers, that’s probably a good enough reaction.
Favorite Twitter response to his suggestion that “the Press” in particular needs to work to avoid spreading so much Russian propaganda on Twitter:
Funny. Most people only use one “s” when abbreviating “president.”
I don’t see any allegation of “Fake News!” here.
“All of us need to step up to meet this challenge, especially the Press”
Emphasis mine. So he’s saying the press are more susceptible to Fake News than others, even when the evidence was just handed to him about who needs to take the most care.
We should keep in mind what counts here as “personally helping spread Russian propaganda”: something as small as liking a tweet that might have been put forward by a Russian agent. I don’t attribute lots of blame to a person who likes a tweet, worse retweets it, or horror-of-horrors follows the account that says stuff that sounds good.
Might have been put forward by a Russian agent? Might? Hm. Liking and following add legitimacy, especially when you’re a public figure who supposedly knows enough to distinguish facts from propaganda.
I think these kinds of attempts by foreign powers are feeble.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t fool people who know their ass from their elbow (on the left and right), it matters that they can apparently fool certain Senators and Presidents with ease.

I suppose “pro-choice” would be equally clever, given the Left’s tendency infringe on individual rights.

I don’t disagree, actually.
Not bad, coming from an amoral religious adherent, eh?

Who are the people banning weed? Who are the people that want to ban transgender people from serving in the military? Who are the people that want the travel ban? It’s not the right, it’s not the left; it’s the people up here:

There are authoritarians on both sides.
My real point, however, is that I am very pro-life, and I don’t much care for the oversimplified mischaracterizations I’m reading thus far.

Sure. I guess all I’m saying is that I wish those who considered themselves to be “pro-life” were pro-life in all aspects. It seems to me that there is a certain group of people that are very concerned with the life of a fetus before it’s born, but once it is born, they’re on their own. That fetus can grow up and be drafted into an unjust war, or go bankrupt over medical expenses; that’s all just fine.

Your reading on the “Fake News” angle is probably right.
I’d be curious to know what the tweets/accounts said. In gauging blame I think it matters.
Representatives of foreign governments meet with members of Congress all the time to push for/against policies. Consider how many members hit a legislative “like” button by voting in a way that aligns with what the foreign government wants. The idea that a foreign government’s agent might tweet something a legislator likes or retweets seems more innocuous.
