Most of points in the article I do not agree.

A lot of the comments read like it was out of the MAGA conservatives news coverage of major events and US elections recently. Many of these talking points are untrue and unsubstantiated.

I like make some brief points.

The Paris Olympics. Many US right wing conservatives and Russian commentators also remarked about the Opening Ceremony. We should recognise that every country have a right to put up its own show. It is the prerogative of the organising committee. The Olympics is about bringing the people from all over the world together in sports. We let the French express it in the way they want and respect it. Who are we to criticise?

"Weird Harris-Walz Democratic presidential ticket reveals that the crowds are AI generated." Let's put the record straight. I have witnessed the non sensical and weird speeches of Vance and trump to know that they are the Weirdos. Trump talking about Hannibal letter and windmills killing birds are out of context and highly weird. Vance criticising Kamala as DEI is back firing as his wife is Indian American. Weird indeed.

The pictures AI generated? It's more like Trump and conservative media making it up. No need to fake the crowd size - even some of the very own right wing media stopped reporting it. There is no need to AI the pictures when all the Democratic rallies had massive turn outs, including the reportedly "AI ones". We can sense that Republicans and Trump are concerned of the Democratic rally crowd size and made it an issue.

Musk and Trump podcast being blocked DDS? Most ridiculous. Musk is a Social media and Internet personality. He owns twitter, now X. Don't tell me he can't even handle a small glitch or DNS? He may as well resign from his X post. Totally inept. The broadcast being banned? You can catch the full broadcast in censorship riddled Singapore on you Tube. What is the ban nonsense.

British demonstration on the streets? There were demonstrations even when conservatives were in power. Margaret Thatcher was harsher to the demonstrators than the police of today. It's more like a combination of factors that cause it. Only narrow minded conspiracy laden news outlets would just blame it on Labour. I'm not supporting Labour nor against the Conservatives, we just have to look at riots in the proper perspective.

Get the facts right with RFK Jr. he is manipulative and trying to exploit the situation. Even the rest of the Kennedy clan do not support him. This guy has also approached the Republicans. He wants to make a deal with either party. So much for commitment and sincerity. Why would any political party compromise and accept his deal? Just absurd to bring this up.

If there is anything unDemocratic in US politics, it is the MAGA Republicans and the insurrectionist Trump. After losing an election, he goes about over turning the result? Even his VP, Mike Pence and Trump appointed AG Barr did not agree nor prove any wrong doing. Of course Trump and his MAGA cult can go on bringing up conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated reports. Their litigation efforts have so far failed.

it is unbelievable that anyone in their right frame of mind can be gullible enough to read and watch the some of these extreme media coverage. Why would any American even vote for Trump who lies all the time, fails in business and politics, has juvenile behaviour in name calling, denigrating Veterans, his ex staff and don't respect the rule of law or the Constitution.

Before you accuse me of only watching main stream media or brained washed by the MSM, I like to clarify that I watch both media - CNN, Fox, NBC, and Newsmax. I also read Truth Social and X posts. I find that the right wing media are distorting the facts, having selective reporting and making racist, misogynistic remarks and pandering to a cult of personality in Trump. Trump and his cult members are constantly sowing discord and division in US society. We should not subscribe nor propagate his ideas.

I'm a Centrist and can will call out both sides for the wrong doings and undemocratic actions. A lot of people who criticise the Wokes and Liberal Left wing Liberals do not have any idea what they are talking. They do not even know what Liberalism stands for or the way democracy works. Similarly there are well meaning Conservatives who are decent people who conduct themselves respectfully. Conservative and Liberal ideas must be recognised and respected and any disagreements can be settled by civil discussions and behaviour. We should beware of articles such as the ones you posted. These are the news media that will destroy democracy and Liberalism.
