I'd like you to know we Americans are very grateful that a Canadian company is singlehandedly wiping the lies from right-wing media here in the USA.

Too bad that Newsmax didn't let him continue. Dominion could have ended up helping Americans lay their heads on overpriced bedding and turn Newsmax into a responsible broadcaster in one fell swoop.

Shows you how very aware they are that they would likely lose a slander suit brought by Dominion.

You say that... but what on earth were they thinking was going to happen?

They bought him on to talk about cancel culture because his Twitter was suspended, they knew full well it was suspended because he wouldn't shut up about election fraud, then they tried to ask him specifically about the suspension of his Twitter without letting him talk about the election fraud  theories that led to it being suspended. How did they picture it going any better than it did?

Not only is the irony delicious, but Newsmax by the end of the clip are like a guy who's just spent all day digging a massive hole in his yard and now wonders why he's stuck in a massive hole in his yard.

Listen up Trump supporters!  We really have to get a few things straight here.

Trump lost the election.  COVID-19 is real and it is a big problem.  California fires were not started by secret Jewish space lasers.  School shootings are not a hoax.  Alternative facts are lies, not facts.  Global warming is actually real.  The Capital riot was due to Trump supporters listening to Trump, not secret Soros-funded Antifa false flag actors.  Vaccines work.  So do masks and distancing.  Science does actually work, and it isn't based on the popularity of a Facebook meme.  Hillary Clinton is not actually a cannibal vampire pedophile murderer who lives under a pizza place in Washington, DC.  We checked and that's actually not true.

Y'all had some crazy and fun ideas, but this shit is starting to not be funny any more.  Too many people are dead.

Everyone who voted against Biden did not support his opponent per se.

There were irregularities in the election, but that's typical.  The Mango Mussolini lost.

COVID-19 is real and a big problem, but the approaches put forth by various factions are not 'solutions.'

Our space lasers aren't secret, and they didn't start the fires.

School shootings are all too real, and again, the 'solutions' to the problems aren't.

Global Warming (tm) is a simplistic treatment of a complex systemic malfunction.

The Capitol riot was a clusterfuck, but was easily as 'largely peaceful' as any number of social get-togethers in the past year.

Vaccines have their place, but not to the exclusion of a wide variety of prophylactic and treatment protocols that get zero coverage by both media and health organizations.

Science is fundamentally skeptical.

Hillary doesn't need any Q nonsense to qualify as a perfectly dreadful human being.

Of course.   Trump supporters are merely a subset of people who voted against Biden.  The largest subset, but not the entire set.

And yet cases in the US are on the decline, and we now have a vaccine.  Sounds solution-y to me.  And of course other countries (South Korea, New Zealand) have stumbled on some quite effective solutions.

Global Warming (tm) is a simplistic treatment of a complex systemic malfunction.

"Global warming" is not a treatment of any malfunction.  It is an objective description of a symptom, similar to saying "he is febrile."  That does not purport to say that he has the flu, or that he is going to die, or that his immune system has been activated.  It just means he has a fever.

If you have a fever, then it's a good idea to seek treatment, whether self administered or via healthcare.  Pretending that you don't have a fever because you really want to go to a party is not a very healthy sort of denial and can lead to problems later.  Similarly, you can debate the causes of global warming and the degree to which different mitigations will work.  Denying it is happening does not work.

Thus, I will continue to exhort people to not ignore it just because it conflicts with their chosen political agenda.

Agreed.  And again, the worst possible approach is to pretend they are fake so that one does not have to even consider the problem.

And to expand on this, if one can find the cause of the fever and fix it, that's good. But reducing the fever and giving the body a chance (via cooling baths, aspirin, whatever) can also help, even if it's not "the solution."

For old white guys "defund the police" sounds like "black people are coming to kill me".

It's all just building up the brand.
