It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The lie they're trying to tell doesn't even require it to be boomerang shaped, they could fill in the bottom center with trashy tabloid stuff and make it more believable, while still appealing to their audience's biases.

But they're so high on their own supply that they can't take that easy win, so they ranked Joe Rogan as less misleading than revleft.

Truly wild.

Rev Left: "This week we have an author talking about their book"

Rogan: "Jamie, pull up that video of those two aliens fucking"

Well, since this is just a preference chart compiled by the author, it makes it pretty clear what their politics are.

They obviously came up with the boomerang shape before they started gathering a list of podcasts. They wouldn’t dare critique any establishment-affirming media no matter how trashy lest it taint the holy aura of the righteous center.
