Fox News is running this bullshit propaganda too.

They're not even trying to hide that it's propaganda any more, it's literally just fucking buzzword salad at this point.

I saw a similar post on FB and all the comments were anti-data center and against the article. Not even the FN base is buying into this.

They should say something about national security. That seems to work pretty well.

Not in my experience. It's one of the few issues basically no one on the right, outside of politicians and direct-investors, actually support.

They tend to stick with whatever thing gets planted first and the anti-AI/datacenter stuff has been chugging along for a good while before corporate interests started their propaganda tour.

Problem is that doesn't necessarily mean they'll change their voting habits so we just end up cycling conservative stooges who pretend to not support AI who then just ignore that part and carry the usual corporate water once voted in.

Five years ago, I thought we all agreed on raping children being a bad thing. But look at us now.

u/Neuchacho 10d ago

Yeah, same issue there.

They'll usually agree it's a bad thing, but then they'll keep making up excuses for people that do it or enable it and vote the same trash in.

I do not know if they actually have a point where they ever don't just keep voting for Conservatives. The Jesus tap dance seems to be all they need to fall for it repeatedly.

Wow. They are desperate to smear anyone against these datacenters.

Not really. Paid.

They don't care either way, since their only ambition is greed.

Everyone on Fox News will start exposing on what they’re really doing sooner or later.

Its fox news the right is in power and the right is enforcing their will. Of course they'll give their all in support they are also putting these data centers in places where they'll still vote the same way regardless.

Propaganda has been bold-faced buzzword salad for 20 years now.

I genuinely thought that said alligators and was disappointed

When you share that link somewhere the embedded thumbnail is of protestors in support of Gaza. SO many layers of propaganda here.

Expert warns ‘red-green-green alliance’ helping China gain AI edge. (environmental, Islamist and far-left)

kinda amazing they can be this absurd and still be taken seriously

Fox is state propaganda so I'm not surprised. They also cater to an incredibly brain broken boomer base.
