I do like how libs use the same arguments as conservatives when arguing against leftists.
I remember back on the Reddit days getting called a shill for George Soros for saying universal healthcare isn't going to make their taxes go up to 99.9% and end society. And I dismissed their PragerU and Breitbart counterarguments.
Also it's easy to think of western news media as credible when you forget recent history. In the 90's they said the Mujahideen and Osama Bin Laden were freedom fighters or how Americans did some election interference in Russia to elect Yeltsin (and his right hand man Putin). Aged real well. Or how about in the 00's there were suddenly WMDs in Iraq? (I'm not going to link anything since even libs admit this was western propaganda). The cancel culture mob even got the Dixie Chicks! In the 10's it was pushing to bomb Iran or North Korea. Afaik this goes back a while, the US media blamed the sinking of the Maine on Spain to justify going to war with Spain.
Anyone with a memory longer than a goldfish should be suspicious when either liberal or conservative media posts negatives about their economic or ideological rivals. To their credit, though, sometimes they do admit they were wrong about Social Credit or the balloon that flew over the US didn't collect any information which is something. But these don't make headlines in the same way.
