Disinformed Voters

I've lost track of the number of times I've pointed out the Left's projective behaviors. The accusations of misdeeds aimed at anyone not them, but brazenly practiced by them. No call-outs from me or others has made a hill-of-beans difference, of course. It goes on and on and on, and the aftermath of Trump's victory over Harris produced a new deluge of instances.

Among the most infuriating are the accusations that Trump voters were taken in by disinformation propagated by alternative media sources. By "alternative," they mean any source that is not NYT-WaPo-MSNBC-CNN-NBC-ABC-CBS or other left-leaning legacy outlets. Yet it is these very sources that have propagated some of the biggest whoppers, going back at least to the 2016 GOP primary season. The Russia collusion hoax. The "very fine people" deceit. The Trump "pee tape." The Steele dossier. "Drink bleach to fight COVID." Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. Trump's tax cuts only benefited the rich. Tear gas to create a photo op. Trump mocked a reporter's disability. And on and on.
