I struggle to understand this, but after watching Fox News or OAN for a few minutes on nights that we watch TV news, I can maybe sort of understand why. For example, last night while MSNBC was covering, news related to the Jan. 6 Commission, OAN was airing footage from Jan. 6 that was completely devoid of any of the violence that occurred that day--it literally was just shots of peaceful crowds walking to the Capitol and orderly lines of protesters walking through one of the large halls inside the Capitol. And the commentary accompanying that serene footage was about how Dems were making a big deal about a mostly peaceful protest that "got out of hand" for a few hours. I just don't see how a democracy is possible when its citizens live in two very different realities with two different sets of facts. [/quote]

I’ve been saying this for months.
The RWNJ networks have been exclusively airing the same 5-6 min loop of footage from Jan 6. 
They don’t show any violence. Their audience is completely ignorant to what occurred.

If I recall correctly, to deal with Holocaust-deniers in Germany, it took forcing people to watch footage or walk past the unearthed mass graves to convince them.

There is something about how the mind works. I'm sure it is self-protective. It's a good reason to avoid echo chambers for yourself -- you don't want to be like this. I listen to right-wing talk radio about 1/2 the time just to know what is going on, and because this effect (hard to challenge entrenched beliefs, often just doubling down) isn't specific to any particular belief. I think it's just the way the mind works. [/quote]

This makes sense, PP. There HAS to be some reason why millions of Americans voted for Trump twice and continue to believe the Big Lie. I can't bring myself to listen to RW radio, but I do watch RW TV regularly (a few minutes is all I can take) to keep up with their unique spin on the "news of the day." It provides really helpful insight.[/quote]
