This manifests in the way they construct their various conspiracy theories: They'll take this verifiable fact over here, and that verifiable fact over there, and then draw THAT conclusion way OVER THERE. The distance between the facts and the conclusion is irrelevant.Often their links are to Fox News or Breitbart as their OP link, but when you check these links, the original story was from the New York Times or other MSM outlet. The OP link is the conservative spin on the original story.
Case in point: New York Times says Hunter’s laptop is real. New York Times says the 25% of the documents on hunters laptop can be proven to be genuine. The leap between what the New York Times said, and the spin FOX put on it, is wider than the Grand Canyon.
There are more verifiable facts in the Steele Dossier than there are on Hunter’s laptop.
There is nothing their right wing media tells them that isn’t washed, spun and completely turned inside before it’s released to them for consumption.
And that includes every single one of the more than 25 investigations against the Clintons none of which found any criminal behaviour other than a lie about a consensual blow job, in a civil law suit. The Republican Party still considers that the crime of the century!
And where did they get this conditioning? Talk radio, then Fox, then the internet. They'll tell you they don't consume those sources, and that's a flat-out lie.
Their media has done something far worse than feed them lies, as bad as that is. It has taught them thought processes, so that they can create their OWN lies.
