The lies aren't to trick conservatives into believing what they actually live isn't real, they're to match the confirmation bias of their fanatic followers, who see bogeymen everywhere.
A tool to be cited in the "information war." The hilarious part is that people will cite this as if it means something.
"Oh, so you had the criminal investigate his own crime and he found that he was innocent and it was actually the opposite of what everyone thought? How shocking!"
Absolutely. That's why as a little hobby I'm keeping a list of all the media lies, which may be of use at some point later.
Although, I'll probably have to crowdsource help with refining it and making sure it flows better.
They lie with such frenetic frequency that it's almost difficult to keep up and remember them all, which is why I began keeping a list. Admittedly, the list also contains misinformation, obfuscation, and cover-ups as well, but I feel it's important to keep track of these things. It may come in handy later.
