Fear Monger
Oct. 30th, 2022 06:48 pmThis is a weird entry.
I'm skipping live TV through the election because the sheer volume of ads that are nothing more than unsupported statements and vaguely (if at all) sourced data points equals a lot more fear mongering that I can stomach. A dark money Republican group called Citizens for Sanity seems to be responsible for a lot of it and I'm surprised at how inane the ads are. And how often they run. Not to mention where they run. The programming that the ads are stuck in the middle of don't make ideological sense in light of the messaging (ex. The Walking Dead and Interview with the Vampire). It annoyed me enough that I sent an email to the network and TRIED to send one to my "cable" provider who is Sling and for some random and unknown reason doesn't HAVE a contact email address. Really odd, that ...
Anyway.
Vote.
