1. Aside from the heaping pile of batshit, listen for a typical rhetorical move that Fucker always uses:

"they are just flat out lying. There's no doubt about that".

He provides no evidence, but then moves to "why would they lie?". https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1359676426736332800

2. The first part makes viewers feel like Fox has already done the research, already reported on this before, that it's all settled. It reinforces their trust in Fox. The continued "debate" on these settled facts, then, is the spin, is "them" pulling the wool over "your" eyes.

3. The certainty of the first part is necessary for everything that follows. If in fact "there's no doubt about that", then all of us would also ask the question Fucker asks next, "then why are they lying about it?"

Now, the field is open to speculate about motive.

4. And this is where Fucker really shines. Now that you've moved into "why" space, you can rope in different historical events and make connections at will. It's not a news show, you see.

5. The narrative he spins is a masterclass on how to reinforce in-group identity: the elites always do this; they distort facts of key events to bring about policy changes that benefit them and so on.

6/6. This is how you make the majority, with all its structural privileges, continue to feel like an embattled minority - and let's not forget, reinforce the notion that Fox is fighting the good fight on their behalf.

Well, wasn't expecting that to turn into a thread.

And damn that Tucker autocorrect.
