    I used a burner account that wasn’t following many users, and the videos the X TV app offered me on first viewing includes a Megyn Kelly video accusing Tim Walz of committing “stolen valor,” a report from right-wing social media influencer Andy Ngo and Carlson’s fawning interview with historian Darryl Cooper who performs some revisionist history by calling Winston Churchill “the chief villain of the Second World War.”

    I’m honestly surprised they’re outright saying the Allies were the villains now…

    Like, it’s almost enough for me to try and Google the “historian” to see if she thinks Russia or the Nazis were the good guys.

    You’d think they wouldn’t push Russia because back then they claimed to be communist, but it’s not like logical consistency matters to them. They like Russia now, so they could very well claim Russia was always the good guys.

    Or they could just be more blatantly pro Nazi then they used to be.

    My condolences to the people who have to install it to write an article about it.

          Basically a lot of shows by former Fox News hosts and other far right vodcasters who are too extreme to be promoted on more mainstream platforms.

    It’s good to see both sides of the cake. Personally I like to peep both X and mastodon . The contrasts tells me were we are at.

      both sides of the cake

      This two sided cake analogy is a new one for me.
