In Just Six Weeks, Elmo Mush Has Managed To Recapitulate The Entire HIstory of Conservative Media


Step 1:  Invent a fairy tale about a Sekret Liberal Cabal that secretly controls the gears and levers of the media.

Step 2:  "Prove" your thesis to your followers by pointing out that the Sekret Liberal Cabal won't mouthpiece your bullshit conspiracies and whiny tirades about how terribly oppressed you are.

Step 3:  Spend a shit-ton one money standing up a Conservative media machine that feeds your follower's paranoid delusions back to them as "news", thus "proving" that your fairy tale was true.  

Step 4:  Hire a cadre of semi-famous old media hacks whose tattered reputations can be milked for a few, last drops of ersatz credibility.  

Step 5:  Use your Conservative media machine to relentlessly attack the imaginary Sekret Liberal Cabal, anyone adjacent to the imaginary Sekret Liberal Cabal and anyone who suggests that there is not and never was a Sekret Liberal Cabal.  All in the name of "free speech".

Step 6:  Use your Conservative media machine to bludgeon the mainstream media into giving your bullshit conspiracies and whiny tirades about how terribly oppressed you are air time and column inches in the name of "balance".

Step 7:  Rinse and repeat.

I liked Mike Masnick's Techdirt piece on "Speedrunning Content Moderation" which effortlessly summarised exactly the stages that Musk would go through, albeit without recognising that Musk wasn't intending to do it seriously, meaning that whilst he ran into all the identified problems, his solutions were the utterly terrible options instead of the sane ones.

So when Elon is done with the Blue bird.

Has anyone put the bug in his ear to buy FOX ?

Just think of the improvements he could channel to the network in changes to make it in his great own image that only One like Much could accomplish.

Think about it, He could shove his Twit up the FOX's rear.

Creating FOXtter or Twitox.

I imagine Elon has ordered his Trump collectable card set in hopes of wining the dinner with Donny at MAGA Lago.

Side bar;

Where is all the election deniers loud screeches about the GOP House speaker vote.
Where is the voter fraud claims, the rigged voter count?
Dead republican house members voting? Voting twice or multiple times?
There is no way the GOP will be able to assure and clearly show the GOP speaker election was not corrupted?
I mean after all, House Democrats are going to vote in that speaker election and you know what that means to the GOP.

One last thing, It is GOP rebrand time. They need to dump their old tired party name. GOP is way too deep state for the Base.
Oh, I have a few suggestions but I am sure if they put their empty skulls together. They can contract out with some 13 year old right wing web site talker's produce a new branding name that really reflects who they are. A name that will cause every young person to grow up wanting to become known as one of them. As Lindsey said Hershel Walker would cause all the blacks to want to be republican like the Hershel.

Something that reflects not governing. Not representing. The prosperity religion and the punishing of those they do not like or perceive as enemies.

The GOP can do this. They are capable of contracting things out to others on their behalf. Look at the Fed Society and the SCOTUUS justices.
I am sure Putin would be willing to wo it for the GOP for the right price.

There is something very Musky about this Elon fellar.

It could be all those Rusky Bots paying (($8) per Blue Check in those old musky rubles.
