This is a real problem on the “right”. Whataboutism is fine and I’ve defended it in the past, but it’s hard to argue that conservative media isn’t full of scammy and deceptive advertising and grifting. I see comments talking about deceptive practices on the “left” but at least those serve a political purpose. Propaganda disguised as news is much less off putting than hucksterism disguised as news. I can take the former seriously but the latter is just a joke.
