What's the modern day definition of irony? When the internet spreads disinformation about the Pentagon recruiting Taylor Swift to battle disinformation on the internet.

Watters et. al. can't stop saying how little they think about Taylor Swift.

When one of the choices is "Is Jesse Watters Just Having Another Fragile MAGA Masculinity Moment?"

You should take that choice every time.

So four years ago, when Trump was still president, the Pentagon decided to recruit Taylor Swift as a psyop to do, what exactly? What is their goal here? Turn us all into Chiefs fans?

Conservatives have never been able to handle the fact that they don’t control pop culture and will never be considered “cool.” So of course it can’t be because they’re the Frank Burns of coolness. I has to be some kind of nefarious plot.

Really reaching with the "psyop" stuff, like she's a helpless kitten at the mercy of whoever... I don't know her, but I don't think she's a pliant doll...

Of she is. If gawd had meant for her to have her own opinions, he would have given her a penis. I mean, that’s just science.

Maybe Taylor buys Faux and turns it into SwifTV

Jesse Watters isn't real. He's a hologram sent here by aliens to divide us and make us easier to conquer because we confused.

Well, not us. FOX viewers. Not the same thing. So not the same thing.

Remember, the only people they ever abducted and got information about us from were the very same people who now watch Fox News. They were assured there is no other news source on the planet.

You all should pay attention to MAGA propaganda sources. Then you would know that Travis Kelce and Taylor are not really a couple, but this is all just a gimmick by Pfizer to get people to take the jab so that they can be injected with alien DNA making them magnetic or some such.

It's in the Bible people!

"A psy-op for combatting online misinformation."

Um, Jesse? Wouldn't "combatting misinformation" be a *good* thing?

Unless, of course, you were openly admitting that most of *your* reporting counts as misinformation...

"have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?" Call me crazy, but I'm guessing it's because a lot of people like her music.

It was the same thing when the Beatles exploded in America. Those haircuts! And those matching suits! No one had ever seen anything like it before.

Meanwhile, every kid on the playground was singing, "She Loves You."

And within months of their conquest of America, the Bircherites were already screeching that The Beatles were a Communist plot to somehow take everyone's money and become rich and famous, like all those other Communists did.

Hunt down a copy of "Communism, Hypnotism, and the Beatles" if you want to marvel at the Jesse Watters of 1964

Man, you might be as old as me. I remember some of the "adults" I knew saying the Beatles are a fad.

Any time you get that big, the conspiracy nuts will spin their weird little webs. Did you know the Grateful Dead were funded by the CIA? I heard a lot of theories about that one. That was usually from acid burnouts outside the stadium, though, and not by an ostensible journalist on a purportedly mainstream news channel.

Two serious problems with your post.

'Ostensible journalist'

'Mainstream news channel'

Jesse Watters isn't a journalist, ostensible or otherwise.

FOX isn't a news channel, definitely not mainstream.

Posted without comment, other than this comment, and the comment a made a minute or so ago when I posted this. Okay, so that's two comments, but let's pretend that there were none, even though posting the link alone counts as a comment. Fuck, there's no way to comment without commenting, is there? Anyway, never trust anyone who appears near (or on) a globe.

Are you saying that, like Darling Nikki, she likes "The Globe"?

I'm saying that Trump-fellating exorcist ninnies should really pay attention to what their Blob-King does before making orb-based claims. Or I would, if I were commenting. But also, yes, anything that ties it all back to Prince, or the artist formerly known as Prince, but not Prince Bonesaw McOrby in my link, is good.
