I've mentioned Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_T%C3%A9l%C3%A9vision_Libre_des_Mille_Collines …) and its role in the Rwandan genocide before. Feels like we're a lot closer to that moment than we were a week ago.

I hate to say it, but year. I do get that feeling like something particularly big and nasty is in the water. I've had it for a while though. I think it was when I started encountering so much malevolence disguised as compassion, about the time of the Kavenaugh insanity.

Dan Rather was not widely ridiculed and condemned for pushing a negative story about George Bush based on a laughably facially obviously hoax.
