See why our Fox-viewing friends and relatives seriously believe "half the country" support their hero? The Fox version plays fake cheers, and never turns the camera around to show the audience. Then compare to NPR showing what actually happened.

9. When Newsom platforms Charlie Kirk, he isn’t fostering a “discussion” on transgender people, he is recalibrating his political stance to make targeting transgender people seem palatable, shamefully selling that shift to his base as a strategic necessity off the back of a hate-influencer.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
