1. @FoxNews constitutes a clear and present danger to the Republic. Through constant spinning of conspiracy theories about "deep states" and traitors within our patriotic intelligence and law enforcement agencies, they are deluding the paranoid narcissist Trump, who is also....
2...the man with the ability to destroy the world, to engage in assaults against the very elements of government that keep us safe, to "root out" the conspirators. Fox anchors and reporters, who will go down in history as the anti-Americans they are, have continued deluding...
3...their viewers with the insane conspiracy theories. For Fox viewers, the idea that vast cabals of men and women who dedicated their lives to serving this country has transformed into fang-toothed conspirators set on bringing down the government, is more credible than....
4...the far more simple and logical idea that Trump may have done something wrong and is lashing out. While it was immoral to deceive millions of Americans with such nonsense, and anti-American, it raises to the level of a national threat when Fox is knowingly spinning this...
5...nonsense to a man who watches them incessantly - the panicked, deluded, paranoid narcissist occupying the Oval Office. He vomits back Fox conspiracy theories to the world almost the second they are said. He uses these conspiracy theories as the basis not only of policy...
6...but also for his relentless cruelty to brave Americans (such as his obsession with the "McCabe's wife got money from Hillary" conspiracy theory). This is not funny, this is not acceptable. Perhaps the dingbats on Fox are so immersed in the relentless conspiracies that....
7...they have come to believe them themselves. That certainly appears to be true for Hannity and Lou Dobbs - who people may laugh at, but whose delusions are followed by millions and the president of the united states. As for the others, many of them have sold their souls...
8...for a paycheck. There are not vast conspiracies in government agencies, where people who have dedicated their lives to public service have suddenly transformed into ghouls. There is just an investigation of Trump. If Trump was an innocent man, his endless panic would....
9...never be seen. Innocent Presidents don't panic. They can't be indicted unless impeached, convicted and removed from office. They have more protections than any other American. Yet Trump is terrified - TERRIFIED - of this investigation. So when Fox joins in on the terror....
10....spinning tales of deep conspiracies rather than just saying "Meh, If he did nothing, he did nothing. If he did something, he did something." I never make Nazi comparisons, but there is no doubt that Fox is using the tactics described in detail by Goebbels. Lie, over and...
11...over, reciting the same thing with fury and anger in every source of information, until the reader/listener/viewer is so bombarded by the lies from everywhere that they believe it. If you have not seen the video splice of Fox discussing Obama saying he is willing to....
12...to consider meeting with North Korea, and Trump saying he will meet with North Korea, find it. It is terrifying. In show after show after show, the same message is communicated, often in the same words, for days on end. Under Obama, the same thing Trump IS doing is.....
13...portrayed as evil, dangerous, stupid, unAmerican etc etc. Under Trump, the same thing Obama said he was willing to CONSIDER is presented as genius, greatness, wonderful for America. I appeared on Fox once, and was horrified when, as I went on the air, the sound in....
14...my IFB earpiece was lowered, then the host asked me questions as I was speaking in another studio, knowing full well I could not possibly even know he was asking questions. It created great television - television of lies. So what is to be done with these threats to.....
15...America? First step: Everyone who is NOT insane, NOT on the Fox dole and NOT part of the cult STOP GOING ON THEIR PROGRAMS. There is no purpose to allowing them to shred intellect - as they did with @maxboot - through their lies. There is no reason to participate in a....
16...in a sham, to lend credibility to an organization that is so anti-American and such a threat. We can do nothing to stop them from bringing on the whores and crazies to spew their garbage. But they should stop being treated as journalists by the journalism community....
17...no one considered the writers of Pravda to be journalists. No one considers those working for North Korea to be journalists. There is a difference between journalists and propagandists. By watching their constant repetition of lies and conspiracies, we know what they are....
18...and as for the soulless, immoral sell-outs at Fox who are not among the crazies: If your network's lunacy leaves the paranoid narcissist in chief to take action that harms America, you will be victims of it too. Think. And get out.
