(111,319 posts)They look for broadcasting journo grads from bible schools who can't get jobs and complain about it on Farcebook, linking it to how Christians are so persecuted in the US. If there is a photo and they're attractive enough, they're contacted for interviews that turn out to be propagandist grooming sessions. If they're apt students and start to believe the total donkey bollocks they're being told, they're offered what sounds like glamorous jobs. Bleach their hair, male or female, and they're ready to go.
Harrington is a little different, she actually went to Temple U. However, she was desperate enough after graduation to work for Steve Bannon in a couple of different capacities (both right wing propaganda, get your mind out of the gutter). He seems to have done a great job on her, she comes across as believing this bullshit.

(1,789 posts)...for the Drumpf people, including various media groups. A lot of those people went on to media gigs, like Candace Owens and Emerald Robinson. Melissa Carone was Guiliani's really strange sidekick at some of those "election hearings". Robinson has bounced around various far-right media organizations; she was at OANN, then moved to NewsMax (who fired her for being too extreme!). Now she's on LindellTV (yes, PillowMan's "network", which is really just a website).
