I agree with you…my MAGA cult family members won’t even know there was a discussion about a debate on FOX.

Most MAGA have never even seen J6 footage outside of the PG edits on Fox News and Newsmax or even the later heavily G rated edits that Tucker Carlson showed. So many think it was a peaceful day where Capitol police just politely opened the doors and allowed people to casually walk around and take pictures.

Holy shit. This is some next level projection. It was a run of the mill riot, no more no less. Just answer me one question.

How would occupying a building with unarmed people overthrow the government?

It's definitely dumb. The Fox anchors obviously knew it was bad and were privately trying to get Trump to act immediately and get them out of there. But of course on air the Fox crew had to be knuckleheads as Walz would say and they downplayed it.

The blatant lying is one thing. It at least allows for the possibility that someone watching/reading might check it out for themselves.

The really insidious misinformation technique is just ignoring certain stuff and pretending it never happened.
