@mmfa.bsky.socialCommentators in the conservative media ecosystem have been spewing ethnic slurs, claiming there is an “Indian invasion,” and arguing that H-1B visas “shouldn’t even exist.”

@mmfa.bsky.socialNick Fuentes: “Hypothetically, if a woman in your life was doing something like this, I would absolutely beat the fucking shit out of her”

@existentialfish.comReposted by @mmfa.bsky.socialkelly's crusade seems to be going poorly even with some of her own listeners: "I had to turn her show off today, I couldn't even listen to another word of it. And that's how I feel, and I think she's going to lose viewers over this.”
@mmfa.bsky.socialAlthough nobody rioted on behalf of Spencer Pratt, right-wing media are creating a dangerous environment where the reflexive rejection of negative election results is the new normal.
@justinbaragona.bsky.socialReposted by @mmfa.bsky.socialYou just knew there was an example from her time as a Fox News pundit where Kim Guilfoyle called for investigations and criminal charges against Democrats for "racketeering" and "corruption" because they were "influence peddling" and "willing to sell access."
@mattgertz.bsky.socialReposted by @mmfa.bsky.socialGuilfoyle, in her prior role as a Fox News host, endorsed the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton for “racketeering” and “corruption” because Clinton was supposedly “willing to sell access” through the Clinton Foundation in a “pay-for-play” scheme. www.mediamatters.org/kimberly-gui...

@mmfa.bsky.socialThose who remain at Fox to celebrate the network's 30th anniversary either revel in or are willing to accommodate its core aims of GOP dominance and Trumpian propaganda.
@mattgertz.bsky.socialReposted by @mmfa.bsky.socialFox News’ role as a GOP propaganda machine is clear to anyone who has bothered to peruse its programming — Donald Trump knows it, Rupert Murdoch knows it, disgraced Roger Ailes knew it, and longtime viewers like me certainly know it. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...
@mmfa.bsky.socialTrump keeps demanding that journalists face arrest and prosecution, and his purported standards for criminal sanctions are developing in bizarre ways over the course of his second term.
@mattgertz.bsky.socialReposted by @mmfa.bsky.socialIt feels crazy to need to write this, but journalists should not be arrested because the president doesn’t like the way they report on the sizes of his crowds. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

@mmfa.bsky.socialMAGA media figure and former Colorado election official Tina Peters has been adamant that Trump has the power to intervene in the midterms. Yesterday, she allegedly met with the president in the Oval Office.
