   This quote from Jay Rosen up top:

   “Describing his views as ‘controversial,’ I think, is dishonest. They’re not controversial. They’re false. He’s not spreading controversial views, he’s spreading lies.

   EXACTLY. It’s part of the bothsidesing. They do it all the time with everything. All the bullshit hard-right stuff, as well as the occasional we’ve-lost-our-minds also-on-the-left stuff like antivaxxing.

    An incredible story of fakery.

    Years ago in China I rode in a Chinese electric car; Tesla’s main advantage over it was its seemingly longer range battery. This story says it was just a “rosy” projection to fake out buyers.

      Mindboggling, yet also completely believable. By the end of the sentence, expected even.

          Boggling. Because it’s true.
