    Kinda. MTG is ragging on Fox News, sure, but she's also both-sides'ing media outlets on the left with her full quote:

    We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does

    She's fishing for people to agree with her which legitimizes her claim that left-leaning news networks are just as untrustworthy as Fox News, which is an untrustworthy news outlet, but she doesn't say shit about Breitbart or OANN or any of the other right-wing superspreaders of misinformation.

    So, she is a broken clock that's currently pointing at the correct time, but she did it in a way to sneak in an untruth or two in there hoping that people would pick up on that and amplify the message.

    Putting the new York times and fox news in the same category is correct as far as I can tell. I don't oppose her calling NYT republican either.

      The recurring cycle of MTG deciding she wants more attention.

        I was thinking of an analog clock with 12 hours and no distinction of AM or PM... but if we're talking 24h clocks you are right.

          I wonder if your 24hr clock example would be more intuitive as frequencies and phases?

          I was also visualizing the round analogue clock face, but didn't want to muddy the water by saying "twice" when I guess it's technically only once, just no am/pm delineation.

          I am puzzling over this at work now. I guess a fast clock could be right almost infinite times a day if it ran fast enough, but a slow clock can only be as slow as a whisper faster than stopped, which would mean it could be right alllllllllllllmost twice a day, but never twice a day.

                When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”

                    I oppose war in Iran because war is detestable.

                    You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.

                    We are not the same.

                        If a 24-hr clock is one second slow per day, its correct once every 236 years.

                          A broken clock, whether it ticks too fast or too slow, is still right at least once every 24 hours, I think.

                          The only exception would be one that ticks correctly but is not set to the right time (does this count as broken?)

                          Yeah but the full saying is "a stopped clock is still right twice a day"

                            I mean with her she's right less than once a day.

                            She probably gets a couple softball questions right from time to time :

                            🗣 " Today is Thursday, right?"

                            🧟‍♀️ "Yessssssss!"

                              Well for once she has a point

                              Probably the rare times she said something that isn't totally crazy

                                        I don't even know her motivation. She could just keep quiet and not shoot herself in the foot.

                                          I have no idea if she's just that stupid and only sees one move in front of her, or if she always knew but it's only now suitable for her to say the truth. (It's also possible it's both with these people.)
