Jesse Watters hits the nail on the head.

[berg80]

Hey, remember when Trump condemned nazis and their violence and your side lied to the America people about that?

If you're speaking about Charlottesville you're lying.

 

[Foxfyre]

Another way to say it is he spilled the beans.

The right-wing media machine is hitting a wall​

Last week, Fox News host Jesse Watters offered a succinct and accurate explanation of how the right elevates stories.

“We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the left, and they are using tactics from the 1990s,” he said, mocking Democrats’ reliance on news conferences and traditional media stories. “What you’re seeing on the right is asymmetrical. It’s like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media. Musk retweets it. [Joe] Rogan podcasts it. Fox broadcasts it. And by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.”

So.........Watters' view isn't exactly in the mold of the famous newsman Edward R. Murrow. More in the mold of the famous propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

I'm going to take the liberty of changing Watters' quote to more accurately reflect what's happening. “We are waging a 21st-century disinformation warfare campaign against the left." He even explains the step by step methodology of how lies gain widespread adoption among consumers of RWM before they can be refuted. We know from psychological studies once a belief is adopted it is difficult to dislodge. Which explains why so many beliefs on the Right remain after being thoroughly debunked.

An OP reflecting a most dishonest representation of Jesse Watters comments. In their full context it was crystal clear that he meant we MAGAS are winning the information war by bypassing a partisan and dishonest media like WAPO and getting the information to the people in other ways. He in no way suggested it was disinformation. And it has been an effective tactic in the information wars.

The Left is always upsetting the social order and norms.

No apologies for advancing the right's of minorities and women. Though I know how upsetting it was for the Right.

I didn't misrepresent anything. His quote was pasted verbatim. He explained the step by step process by which, for example, the lies Musk has been telling regarding DOGE made it in to the Right's narrative before they could be debunked. Now they have, yet you folks still believe them.

For Watters that is a disinformation battle won.

 

[Correll]

If you're speaking about Charlottesville you're lying.

Nope. He was clear as a bell and the media lied to the American people about what he said, ie that the nazis AND the marxists, should be totally condemned.

The Right has always championed minority rights. It's the Left that has historically opposed it.

 

[Woodznutz]

These far rightwing idiots are blowing their wads earlier, and earlier.

Let's see how long it takes them this go 'round before they smack that wall going over 90 miles per hour head first.

The current "rightwing idiots" are a creation of the leftwing idiots. Happy?

Bug, you trite pathetic simpleton.

You missed the point.

Your left wing MSM apparatchik doesn’t report “news.” It merely references topical matters — in a deliberately distorted way — to support the narrative it seeks to impose on all of us.

What Jesse notes is that we aren’t obliged to just sit back and take that crap from your leftist vermin pals. Now, instead, all of us have access to differing opinions and coverage of actual facts which you tools ignore when it doesn’t support your narratives.

It’s ok. I still look at scumbag state-orchestrated propaganda “news.” But, nowadays, you vermin don’t have a monopoly on how we (the People) get information.

And that’s your real objection.

Go cry us a river. You shitbags lost your monopoly and your credibility. It is actually terrific news.

 

[Modern Messiah]

Watters' propaganda is working.

How do you take the liberty in changing someone else's quote?
In other words your gaslighting again.
Continue on with your leftist meltdown

No, the current rightwing idiots are a creation of the Republican Party.

Nope. He couldn't resist taking the opportunity to use a false equivalence to describe the crowd because white supremacists like him.

Watters is a commentator not a journalist. You are used to MSNBC who calls commentators 'journalists.'

He was speaking about how the network he works for is, in his opinion, participating in an information war. The goal being to get people on the Right to accept lies as truth before the other side can react. That is what winning for him looks like. Being successful at misinforming the audience.

 

[BluesLegend]

This began with Limbaugh: "Don't listen to them, everything they say is a lie. Just listen to ME." It became a completely binary situation. No critical thinking required.

It continued to devolve, and now we exist in two entirely separate universes. This might be a self-inflicted wound that kills us.

Limbaugh got rich simply playing recordings of Democrats lying and flip flopping.

Yes, a war between real information and left-wing lies.

So, now you believe everything Jesse Waters says?

As long as he can alter the quote.

Yes, a war between real information and left-wing lies.

More than any other outlet Faux is responsible for widespread belief in the lie, among Repubs, that trump won the 2020 election. People like you show up here parroting lies about DOGE,................

https://www.npr.org/2025/02/19/nx-s1-5302705/doge-overstates-savings-federal-contracts

..............about Ukraine, advocating for hacks like Oingoboingo being #2 at the FBI. Your entire belief system is based on lies you hear being reinforced on Faux and other RWM outlets. Like the ones promoted about Dominion for which Faux paid a 3/4 billion settlement so it could just keep on lying.
You and people like you are a threat to America's survival over devotion to a demagogue.

And conservatives will continue to spread disinformation and lies because it has brought them political success.
