alt Hacker NewsI assume you mention fox news because that represents your political bias and that's fine with me. But for the sake of honesty i have to point out that the lunacy of the fringe left is similar to that of MAGA, just smaller maybe. The left outlets spent half of Trumps presidency peddling the Russian collusion hoax and 4 years of Biden gaslighting everyone that he was a great president and not senile, when he was at best mediocre.

I would point out that what you call "left outlets" are at best center-left. The actual left doesn't believe in Russiagate (it was manufactured to ratfuck Bernie before being turned against Trump), and has zero love for Biden.
> just smaller maybe
This is like peak both-sidesism.
You even openly describe the left’s equivalent of MAGA as “fringe”, FFS.
One party’s former “fringe” is now in full control of it. And the country’s institutions.
That was not even the fringe left. That was proper mainstream left. CNN and MANBC were full on peddling the Russian collusion hoax for years.
And people blame the right for creating division still? Both sideism, huh? Yes, it was both sides.
People close to Trump went to jail for Russian collusion. Courts are not perfect but a significantly better route to truth than the media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charges_brought_in_th...
There is this odd conspiracy to claim that Biden (81 at time of election) was too old and Trump (77) wasn't, when Trump has always been visibly less coherent than Biden. IMO both of them were clearly too old to be sensible candidates, regardless of other considerations.
The UK counterpart is happening at the moment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891403eddet
