CNN are the TV equivalent of the WaPo, worse even, so expect total dishonesty. So first they said yes, then no, then yes.

Let's see if they do that crap where they show him alone for no size comparison.

Biologically ignorant propaganda channel CNN has an audience that believes everything they say. That's the scary part. CNN viewers tune in to be told what to believe. This won't peak. It will only further indoctrinate.

The rest of us will be rolling on the floor and/or outraged, but the core CNN audience will just nod along.

I think this is true of political stuff, which is ultimately evidential stuff, stuff you can't know without witnessing it for yourself or being told what happened. It's very hard to arrive at the full, true story these days unless you are particularly politically motivated.

But this is Emperor's New Clothes shit - it's a ruse that our (everyone's) natural heuristics can detect. I think this will peak more people.

Especially if the media puts Rhys on camera next to a real woman, like Fox News did. In FOX's case it was Abigail Shrier, who looked like a tiny, china doll next to His Thighness.

Anyone watching that would have had to seriously lie to themselves to believe that men belong in women's sports.
