Conservative radio host: ‘We’ve created this monster’ of fact-hating right-wing voters
Aug 15, 2016 18:59:51 #
In an interview with Business Insider’s Oliver Darcy, a conservative radio host lamented the fact that conservative media has conditioned its followers to distrust the mainstream media so much that they have become fact-free “monsters.”
In a tweet promoting an upcoming piece on rightwing media, Darcy posted an excerpt from an interview with conservative radio host Charlie Sykes who claims candidates like Donald Trump can say anything on the stump without fear of being fact-checked by the likes of Fox News or conservative websites.
“We’ve basically eliminated any of the referees, the gatekeepers. There’s nobody. Let’s say that Donald Trump basically makes whatever you want to say, whatever claim he wants to make. And everybody knows it’s a falsehood,” he explained. “The big question of my audience, it is impossible for me to say that. ‘By the way, you know it’s false.’ And they’ll say, ‘Why? I saw it on Allen B. West.’ Or they’ll say, ‘I saw it on a Facebook page.’ And I’ll say, ‘The New York Times did a fact check.’ And they’ll say, Oh, that’s The New York Times. That’s bullshit.'”
According to Sykes, any attempts to continue fighting back against misinformation is dismissed with complaints that he has “sold out,” adding, “Then they’ll ask what’s wrong with me for not repeating these stories that I know not to be true.”
Sykes warned “There’s got to be a reckoning on all this.”

The "reckoning" are all the dumb, uninformed, republican voters out there who have been taught to distrust everything they hear. The "reckoning" is the Republican party in the state that it is in today. Thank god, hate radio never caught on with liberal listeners....

They won't they can't they are the product of 5 decades of democrats who are in charge of the education system.

Dang
You two spending time on needle in hay stack searches is hysterical. The mental tap dances you both do
when you find anything that fits your ideologies is amusing as well. It's not what you find, it's the rarity
of you finding anything at all along this vane.
Leave the dark side and come into the right's light where you will find tons and tons and tons of narrow
minded far left loons on all the numerous and various Lame Stream feeds. I tell ya it's a target rich
environment that will keep your little minds tap dancing 24/7 in stead of this once in a great while junk.
I mean , if this is what gets your juices flowing so greatly think of what your missing.
It would be organismic for you both.

Since when does the main stream media present the facts? You want to talk about leftist propaganda, we'd be getting somewhere.
