They’re turning to independent podcasts, social media and digital news for information. 231
Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026But just as MAGA media helped remake the Republican Party into the party of Trump, some in the Democratic Party worry these new blue outlets could pull their party to an extreme. 3101
Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Quite a transformation in a decade: when The Young Turks was the biggest (only) online left show in town, and even a grassroots-online campaign like Bernie's still needed legacy media to reach a mass audience. 261
Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026🧵Democrats/the left have close to as comprehensive an online media ecosystem now as MAGA had four years ago.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It’s normally the result of someone recalling something they saw in passing on their social media feed — a rumor that confirms what they already want to believe about a story, so they accept it without further scrutiny. 216819
Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026This is exactly what I run into with conspiracy theorists — a stray, unverified claim gets treated as if it debunks the real story, and it almost always falls apart under scrutiny.
