I just flew from Atlanta to Austin on a @Delta flight. Which meant I was surrounded by people watching #FauxNews. A couple of observations: 1/n

First, that propaganda channel is referring to whistleblowing as “leaks”. Isn’t it important that whistleblowing is a formal government procedure? I guess not if your goal is to misinform voters. 2/n

Second, they are showing endless video and audio of former democratic presidents talking to foreign leaders, to make the case that presidents appropriately pressure other govts to take action. This is an important part of the @GOP strategy to beware. 3/n

Third, it would seem that we are already witnessing the @GOP/#FauxNews strategy, which is to just argue that @realDonaldTrump’s behavior is appropriate. That is precisely why these people can’t be trusted with the public charges they claim to hold. 4/n

Finally, I have to keep asking, why, oh why, would a company like @Delta pipe partisan propaganda into its planes?? It is not up or debate whether they are propaganda (as opposed to journalists). So, what’s the reason to have this channel here? 5/5
