My coworker who is a huge MAGA supporter left his computer logged in while he left an hour early for the day and he had his news feed up. Had to take screen shots of the pure garbage the algorithms feed conservatives.
Beyond a few news articles in there, that actually looks surprisingly balanced.
In my experience it’s the inbox/YouTube where it really gets into it. Subscribing to some of these “alternative news” sources brings a deluge of patently false information with dangerous spin to it.
Seeing elderly conservative email inboxes is so sad. Especially if they’ve ever contributed to a campaign, the “please give me more money” emails can be so abusive.
My first thought was “oh hey that’s actually a total nothingburger, how nice!” before I realized that my brain automatically glossed over all the Faux News articles an anything mentioning big political figures out of a sense of self preservation.
Decent mix of stories, but has the classic “Biden lying” and very notable lack of, you know, Trump’s multiple cases, Ukraine and Russia, and essentially glossing over of Gaza.
The sad thing is who are those ads for? Trump supporters don’t care, and any “moderate” who is still undecided on Trump at this point isn’t really a moderate

I wasn’t going to dig any deeper. I just wanted to shut it down because it was playing audio.

Still not as bad as I would have thought though.
