Deception, misdirection, and confusion are often used as tools by dishonest aholes seeking to gain power or influence, as they can be effective in obscuring the truth and manipulating public opinion.
I get my news from anti-Trump sources like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and others because I know they don't outright lie and report mostly objective news.
In contrast to Fox Fake News, which was sued and fined $700 million for lying, because of their pro-Trump lying host ahole *ucker Carlson, who was fired for disseminating fake information for ratings, but was actually sacked for the $700 million loss.
