At the end of every MSNBC video on YouTube there's an advert for the network's mobile app.

It amuses me that the phone they use has some icons neatly grouped as "Social" and "Right wing social" - the two types of social media.

Also, Telegram is in the right-wing group. 😆

@popey the telegram part is legitimately killing me as I use it on daily basis if not for almost a decade lol

@popey If you look in Books you can see the Libby app too. I think you also see BookFunnel next to the Libby app.

@popey Telegram should be under category called Malware

Could say that about half the apps on that screenshot.

@popey Maybe they’re in right wing telegram groups

@that_leaflet I mean, of course. But it just made me chuckle, because I'm in a whole slew of lefty leaning groups and zero right leaning groups on Telegram.

@popey 24 notifications from a group called "Food" is too many notifications.
