Fox News And The Right Wing’s Sick Obsession With Taylor Swift

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on February 01, 2024 · Flag

The Recount and Seth Meyers have put together video so you can laugh and cry at the right-wing’s descent into madness over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

There’s an embarrassment of riches when it comes to Fox News and the right-wing losing their minds attacking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Media Matters did a great breakdown of the “unhinged attacks and conspiracy theories that she is secretly a Democratic operative, Pentagon asset, or part of a ‘psyop.’”

According to Media Matters, this particular bit of conservative insanity began after it was reported that the Biden campaign hopes to get Swift’s endorsement. With Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs headed for the Superbowl, right-wingers are claiming that the game will be rigged so that Swift will endorse Biden as part of an “election interference psyop.”

Fox News is all in on the crazy. On Tuesday night, for example, Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt blamed the Biden administration for the conspiracy theories, saying, it’s because people have “seen so many examples of where the Biden cartel has pulled out all the stops and used whatever they have at their disposal as a weapon against their enemies.”

The Recount and Seth Meyers put together videos showing just how unhinged the haters have become.

Have some laughs at their expense below.

Seth is great. One thing America has got right is its production line of late night comedians, especially since Jay Leno exited stage left already. Letterman, Colbert, Stewart (coming back!), John Oliver… we won’t mention Bill Maher.

It’s frankly been interesting to see Angry Right Wingers panicking about Taylor Swift. I’m not sure that attacking her and her fans is a winning strategy, but Angry Right Wingers tend to fall back to that. The problem here is that Swift mobilizing her fans, even a fraction of them, to get out and vote this year, could be a game changer in several states. Personally, I’m all for it. There are plenty of sensible people in Red States, and if this is what it takes to get them to the ballot box, it’s a good thing.

The worst part of all of this is that it is so blatantly pandering for ratings and money. That is what is driving this entire “controversy.”

The competition for right wing clicks is intense. One week it is Michelle Obama being drafted to run foir president. The next week it is this nonsense.

Nobody who is thinking correctly can believe any of it.

Read the Media Matters piece. Most of the folks mentioned work for minor right wing sites desperate to get the views Fox does. The Fox people pushing this stuff are folks fighting each other to be the top dog.

It would be amusing if it wasn’t so stupid.
