Dude, I'm firmly behind abortion rights, freedom of speech and gay marriage.

How left do I have to be?

Just a minute. You know, I'm very science and not at all anti-vaccina--they're coming for for your freedom with their nasty needles loaded with their supposedly helpful concoctions!! What about freedom, dear viewers?

'Tucker Carlson Tells His Giant Fox Audience Not to Trust COVID Vaccines'
“In this country, we control our own bodies,” Carlson said. “They are always telling us that. But no. Suddenly, the rules have changed. On the question of the corona vaccine, our leaders definitely are not pro-choice. Their view is do as you are told and don’t complain. No uncomfortable questions. Those are not just suggestions, they are rules and Silicon Valley aims to enforce them.”

The Fox News star, who has regularly taken aim at Big Tech, went on to complain that Twitter is flagging tweets claiming that the vaccine is used to “control populations” while blasting Facebook for amplifying reassuring information about vaccines.

“So whatever you do, don’t say this is social control because if you do, the richest and most powerful people in the world will act in perfect coordination to shut you down immediately,” he grumbled.

Carlson then took his skepticism around the vaccines several steps further by suggesting that Bill and Melinda Gates, who have been the target of unhinged conspiracies revolving around vaccines, were “happy to take control” and pushing “censorship” surrounding the preventative medicine.

“So [Melinda Gates] is demanding the tech companies censor anyone who contradicts the official storyline on the COVID vaccine, and she is getting her wish,” he asserted. “None of this inspires confidence. Censorship will not convince a single person to take the coronavirus vaccine. In fact, it will have the opposite effect.”

The right-wing host, who Fox News lawyers have successfully argued in court should not be taken seriously, went on to say public health experts shouldn’t be trusted because the post-Thanksgiving surge in coronavirus cases supposedly didn’t occur. (Some U.S. regions haven’t seen an increase in already record-setting infection rates while other areas have experienced massive spikes.)
The author of the piece is going easy on the gobshite Carlson. The Fox News lawyers successfully argued that it is common knowledge that Carlson regularly disseminates falsehoods. Therefore somebody that he tells lies about cannot claim damages because nobody really believes what he says. 'Should not be taken seriously' indeed.

Furthermore-- Little did I know that by wearing a mask I become a member of the elite. Well, maybe I'm posing as a member of the elite, all wearing a mask because of the 'rona and shit. Or is it that by wearing a mask I'm bowing down to the elite? I need Fox News to help me get it straight.

'300,000 Are Dead and This Fox News Host Still Thinks Masks Are a "Virtue Signal"'
Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain claimed on Thursday that mask-wearing isn't about protecting against the coronavirus as much as it's used by “elites” as a way to “virtue signal” to show they are “smarter than you.”

A day after the United States set another grisly daily record in coronavirus deaths with more than 3,600—bringing the stateside tally to 308,000—Cain appeared on America’s Newsroom to instead discuss the Democratic Rhode Island governor recently being spotted sipping wine briefly without her mask on at a “sip and see” party.

After anchor Sandra Smith noted that Gov. Gina Raimondo was observed wearing her mask while speaking to restaurant staff, she went on to ask Cain if this was “just another case of hypocrisy of some of those politicians who are pushing rules that they themselves are not willing to follow?”

...

“How do people treat masks?” Cain further grumbled. “They don’t treat so much as a protective mechanism. They treat it as a virtue signal that they’re better, more scientific-minded, smarter than you. This is running rampant, and it really is the dividing line in our society now—the elites versus everyone else they view as the little people.”

Smith indicated at that moment that Cain’s signal had dropped and that she apparently couldn’t hear or see him.

Fox News isn't going to let go of their viewers. They know that militant anti-intelligence is a winning product. Though they slipped up by acknowledging reality in the election, if they play on their strength as the US's most prominent source of malignant twaddle they'll hold on to the majority of their audience.

Dinesh D'Souza is a known liar, but in this instance he's relaying an accusation published on a dodgy Trumpist site. The accusation comes from a group that was involved in filing several of the failed Trumpist lawsuits that attempted to overturn election results. They're part of a larger Christian lobbyist group that pushes bad faith 'religious freedom' initiatives and works to make abortion illegal, as well as 'morning after' pills. They can legitimately be described as far right religious zealots (not unlike D'Souza himself).

The 'Zuckerberg's money' they're talking about is grants given to a few different pro-democracy groups like Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). CTCL in turn helped local authorities in voter outreach initiatives. The Trumpist religious zealots don't like that, and so they're claiming that there must have been something illegal about it.

The claim that there was an actual violation of election law doesn't seem to be anything but spin from the religious zealots, but like the spurious lawsuits and noise from Newsmax and other Trumpist sources, will definitely help keep the MAGAs enraged and will provide fodder for trolls.

I've asked him to let me know if you are an authoritative source. Until he does, I'll keep assuming you are so blindly anti-Trump, that you are pro Biden.

Is Crowder another sketchy source?
