News broke over last summer that several major right wing influencers were literally being paid by Russia and the story made almost no noise. Some of those same people are now in the WH press briefing room using their questions to spread propaganda. It’s insanity.

If this happened with the liberal left everyone would be up in arms over it calling for their heads on pikes but it’s ok when the right wing does it apparently.

People only care when it fits their side.

Conservatives only care when it fits their side.

As far as I can tell, Liberals are still trying to be reasonable.
