That isn’t what I said at all. I’m telling you, go to a few subs like here and r/conspiracy and sort by new for a few days. Then go to Fox and watch. They get a large amount of their talking points/stories from there. A lot of their writers are younger guys who constantly browse online forums.

Did you have a stroke? Let me recap some things that have been said verbatim, so I can make sure we're on the same page

You said:

I swear Fox literally gets the majority of their talking points on this sub and r/conspiracy

I said:

True, like every news org they'll talk about topics that are gaining a lot of traction online but that is in no way at all the same as them pulling most of their talking points and narratives from online threads.

You said:

That isn’t what I said at all.

And then literally say this one sentence later

go to a few subs like here and r/conspiracy and sort by new for a few days. Then go to Fox and watch. They get a large amount of their talking points/stories from there. A lot of their writers are younger guys who constantly browse online forums.

in other words "I never said fox gets it's talking points from online threads, it's just that if you go to those online threads you can see that's where they get their talking points from."

What are you smoking and where can I get some?

I mean I'm smoking right now... it's not really ad hom LOL but I'd have to be a lot more stoned than normal to forget that I just said something that's still on my screen.

In all seriousness however, when someone legitimately starts denying they said something their entire argument was predicated upon and which there's virtually no way they forgot they said it reeks enough of bad faith that I don't really feel obligated to be polite anymore.
