Brian Kilmeade makes a great strudel!

@NickyFrank30

My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels
made a great strudel” and I never knew what it
meant until after he died my grandmother explained
some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda
Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her
strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the
Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it
was an example of the media sanitizing evil people
and he would use the phrase when someone asked
him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and
focus on the good.

From a Fediverse-shaped viewpoint, it seems inconceivable that the Trump administration hasn't been run out of town yet. Of course, when seen from a different filter bubble, everything is just peachy. 😑

So I've been wondering: would there be interest in a Fediverse bot that posts Fox News headlines from their RSS feed? Just to provide a bit of context for what Red America gets fed in terms of propaganda. Opinions?

"On Friday, Fox News published an article with the headline 'SNAP Beneficiaries Threaten to Ransack Stores Over Government Shutdown.' The piece, written by Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi and filed under the site’s 'cultural trends' section, featured quotes from several Black women complaining about losing their food stamp benefits."

#KamalaHarris’ victory on Tues was so clear that even #FoxNews had to accept #reality.

“Make no mistake about it: #Trump had a bad night,” Brit Hume, #FauxNews chief political analyst, said shortly after the #debate. “He lost the debate repeatedly when she baited him, something I’m sure his advisors had begged him not to do. And we heard so many of the old grievances that we’ve long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically.”

Most major #media and #socialMedia in the #USA is now right wing controlled

The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks

Watch this video of Peter #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down

Now dream of that in the #US

To get there, you fucking #vote, idiots

"Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down with Fox News' Bret Baier Wednesday as she steps out of the comfort of what has so far been a relatively friendly series of interviews since she became the Democratic nominee this summer."

From @abc: "With three weeks until Election Day, Harris' interview with Baier will mark her first sit-down with Fox News -- and her first interview with a conservative news outlet since she became the Democratic nominee."

Reading #DonaldTrump's first interview on #FOXNews @ #Twitter since getting back from #China and I won't even bother transcribing and posting any of it

Trump is being "interviewed" by #BrettBaier (think it is) and Trump is utterly incoherent

No big surprise there, I guess...

#ICE & the #SecretService conducted a large-scale operation in an upscale Irvine, CA neighborhood Wed to apprehend an individual accused of distributing fliers containing the personal info of Homeland Security Investigations (#HSI) agents.

The operation, described…as a “military-style brigade,” involved a cavalcade of armored vehicles, w/ICE providing #FoxNews drone footage of the procession through Pasadena to serve a criminal search warrant.
