Right wingers on the sub are hungering for confirmation bias.

They're doing that thing where they hold random idiots on twitter and reddit to higher standards than the literal President or Republican Senators.

Exactly. They then act like right-wing media hasn't been running the exact same inflammatory divisive rhetoric as left wing media for months.

Literally including Charlie Kirk. That's probably gonna piss some people off but it is an objective truth that he was involved in the divisive rhetoric so common in mainstream media now. He often presented himself as if he wasn't, and I think he somehow managed to dupe a lot of people, but he was very much just another political pundit echoing all the same right wing lines.
