She got half of Burgerland to think that everything they don't like is Russian propaganda, that the evil Russians helped Trump steal the 2016 election, Russia Russia Russia, it's the ultimate thought-terminating cliche now. And even in the face of cold, hard evidence to the contrary (ie: Mueller report, off the top of my head) Libs just stomp their feet and insist that it's still RUSSIAAAAA!!!!!1
I guess Bill O'Riely would be the Republican equivalent of her, but his oafishness and toxic masculinity got the best of him and he ~~ended up losing everything~~ got a multi-million dollar severance package from Fox News and then faded into irrelevancy.
Seriously though, I can't think of anybody that could rival Maddow in terms of how effectively she brainwashed tens of millions of Burgerlanders into believing an absolute, absurd fantasy. You can't have anything that resembles a level-headed discussion with any Lib anymore, largely due to her influence (and others of course, but I feel like she's the most prominent figure in this regard).
Can you think of anyone that could rival her impact? Who else would be in the same league of propagandists in this day?
EDIT: Obviously I forgot to mention Tucker Carlson, but he also got kicked off Fox lol
Wrong, Bill is the shoulders which Rachel stands on. Every cable news talking head is copying his game. Bill walked so Tucker could run. He's only irrelevant now because he accelerated the american conservative past him.
I'd even go so far as to say he's a couple rungs down in terms of history. Tucker is standing on Glen Beck who is standing on O'Rielly.
This although Beck was standing on the shoulders of Alex Jones more than O'Reilly
Regardless of the order, whoever is standing on Alex Jones is standing on his roid gut, not his shoulders.
I cast Spicy Chili at the Roidgoblin
Roll for damage
Critical failure: you forget the names of your children
Fair enough, though O'Reilly was always kinda cribbing from Jones. He just never had the intensity. If we want to go that route though then they are all standing on Rush Limbaugh. As for who was most effective of the lot, hard to say.
O'Reilly predates Alex Jones by a few years. I don't think O'Reilly ever knew about Jones. Both are building off of Rush though.
Also not to forget Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM fame, whom I just learned while relistening to (I think) a Qanon Anonymous episode apparently died in a shootout with the cops just after 9/11 lmao.
Opioid overdose. 2018
oh shit must have been a different conspiracy crank radio host.
Ah right it was Milton William Cooper who was in the same sphere as Jones and Bell.
who was standing on rush limbaugh who was standing on bill buckley... it's assholes all the way down
I think Ben Shapiro stands more on William Buckley’s shoulders. Limbaugh was way too loud and crass to be modeling Buckley.
Dig deep enough in the America Propaganda Mines and you find Goebbels down there.
Where is rush Limbaugh standing in this?
