@jolly allegedly by broadcasting false information.
Waiting for FB, YouTube and Twitter to deplatform them.
But, at my age, I can' hold my breath long enough.
The ends justify the means. I'm sure that's how it's considered. Which Trump didn't really help with. Not that he's to blame for CNN's shenanigans, but that he didn't do a damn thing to unite the country, either.

@aqua-letifer said in The Lying News Network:
unite the country
Of course not
Since he has no idea what that means
Just like everyone else

The media would not let him unite the country.
Prob'ly not, but he sure didn't try, either. His deal was pandering to his base, full stop.

Lefties were openly discussing various strategies for coping with family members or coworkers supporting Trump. Those strategies often included such gems of unity as "a zero-tolerance policy for Trump support is completely justifiable. Kids in cages. Russia. Reality TV con man. Makes fun of disabled people. Biggest liar ever!"
Meanwhile, conservatives on the topic of getting along with lefties? "Whatever. We'll deal."

Everybody panders to his base. Clinton's nickname was Pander Bear.

Bloomberg (and others) Lie about JD Vance:
J.D. Vance, an Ohio-based venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” is pushing back against reports published in several prominent media outlets falsely linking his exit from a corporate board to two tweets the outlets deemed “controversial.”
The news outlets – including The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Lexington Herald Leader, the Associated Press, The New York Post and Bloomberg – all ran stories this week noting that Vance had exited the board of directors of AppHarvest, an East Kentucky-based green technology company.
But the various news stories all incorrectly stated that Vance resigned from board after publishing tweets about voting restrictions and Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the outlets found controversial. Bloomberg’s story ran with the headline: “Hillbilly Elegy Author Exits Board After Tweets on Voting, Fox.” The Enquirer ran with the headline: “J.D. Vance leaves AppHarvest board following controversial tweets.” The other headlines and stories were similar.
In fact, Vance’s departure from the board was in the works for weeks, and Vance had officially resigned from the board before publishing the two tweets. He said on Twitter that the “clear implication” from the stories was that he “was forced down because of my tweets.”
“Alright, here’s a story about how the media often shapes narratives instead of reporting the truth, and how a small untruth can morph into a lie that’s repeated again and again throughout the media bubble,” Vance said Friday, laying out his side of the story on Twitter.
Vance, who is considering a U.S. Senate run in Ohio, said that he got involved with AppHarvest four years ago, and has been a supporter and investor in the company ever since.
He said he started talking with other AppHarvest board members about stepping down last month. The company recently went public, so his “ability to be useful now that it’s a public company is limited,” he said. And considering that he may run for political office, and that he intends to keep speaking his mind, he said, “I’d rather do that unconstrained by the demands of a public board. And I thought the company would be better off too.”
