Here’s how to save Americans from Republican-led misinformation
Atheists have an advantage in exposing theism as untenable—their arguments remain constant, unlike Republican propaganda, which shifts every 2-4 years with each election cycle’s new set of fake issues. From trickle-down economics to ‘stop the steal,’ purveyors of truth face an ever-changing landscape of misinformation. Meanwhile, millions are engulfed in a 24/7 stream of right-wing propaganda, voting against their own interests in favor of billionaires.
Genuine journalism offers an escape, but right-wing media indoctrinates, making its followers resistant to facts. A Fox News viewer knows less than someone who watches no news at all. The most promising solution? Litigation. Alex Jones was sued into bankruptcy, and Fox News paid $787.5 million for election lies. Imagine a charity that funds lawsuits against disinformation. As fake networks face legal consequences, viewers might return to reputable news, reversing propaganda’s damage and restoring America’s grasp on reality.
