I spent a quarter century being lectured by libertarians and republicans about how minimal government oversight of large companies was radical socialism and if you mentioned nationalizing stuff like telecom for the public good they'd have a six week embolism

All right wing claims are lies made in bad faith. I would say we should never take them seriously again, but I know that our corporate owns news outlets will gobble up their lies like Häagen-Dazs every time they hold a press conference.

Possibly the #1 failure of "journalism" is the habit of ascribing good faith to everyone. The right has been playing them for utter fools for decades, due to this witless practice.
