The sickness that is Fox this AM. They poison people's minds and then blame the left for their damage.

Last edited Tue Apr 15, 2025, 11:46 AM - Edit history (1)

(And no I don’t watch a lot of that crap and this was 30 seconds. Fox is on ch. 54 and the weather
channel is on 62 so I just was channel surfing up when I caught the sickness of what they do.)

The morning couch tumor team was on talking about the arson attack on Governor Shapiro’s home
and then went on to say this shows that both sides are @ fault and that republicans are under attack
too from liberals. As they were showing the footage of the fire damage they flipped the story about
the arson attack and the suspected arsonist telling law enforcement that he had wanted to hurt or
kill Governor Shapiro too but did you know that Tulsi Gabbard had gotten a nasty text message?

Now I don’t know if the suspected arsonist was a Fox News viewer but I think that is a pretty safe
bet he was along with his taking in other right wing media and web sites to the point that his “fight
for liberty and freedoms” made his warped brain think that trying to hurt or kill the Governor Shapiro
was the smart move because he is such a patriot.

Fox is a cancer on the body of America. Along with Krasnov, J.D. Guy-Liner, their Russian collaborators,
Christo Fascist Evangelicals, the vote manipulating republicans, Musk, and our dirty Right Wing Judges
including the Supreme Court’s shit bags that can read the 14th Amendment Article 3 and rule that it
doesn’t say that Trump broke his oath to protect and defend the Constitution and helped to gather a coup
against our nation both of which the 14th Amendment Article 3 explicitly states disqualifies from holding
office again.

Well it is not like Krasnov had an innocent man picked up and sent to a torture prison in El Salvador and
that he is never coming back to his wife and new born child. I suspect that Mr. García might be dead
or beaten to the point “they” can’t bring him back.

Greedhead fascist shitheel thinks he is superior based on skin tone and income, making him suited to rule the Turd Reich through disinformation and mind manipulation.

Mike Royko was right when he called him, “The Alien” upon arrival in Chicago in 1984. All Murdoch’s done for America is use his power and money to advance “friends” like Ronald Racist Reagan and Donald Nazi Trump and, in the process, destroy 248 years of freedom.

They have been using our first amendment to spread all kinds of lies, hatred, and misinformation to tons of American people that are now brainwashed to some degree.

This is a Rupert Murdoch company who cashed in billions of dollars on creating this division and hatred in America Murdoch Fox News should be destroyed

They sold the lie that Ollie North was some kind
of patriotic hero instead of the grifting crook he really was.

All those Iran Contra mother fuckers should have
been put in jail for their crimes ... but at the end of the
day they walked and Bill Barr cleaned it all up including
the cocaine running and Swiss Bank Accounts

Ollie North and over ONE HUNDRED other felons of HW's CABAL were under Indictment when Reagan's term ended and HW was elected........On day one, HW pardoned all of them...............

HW being elected allowed him to cover up a massive number of things from Reagan's occupation of the White House. Including HW's being complicit in the act of TREASON to get Reagan elected over Carter. Likewise with the IRAN CONTRA sale of weapons situation that Congress had SPECIFICALLY ORDERED THEM NOT TO DO and they went ahead and did anyway behind congress's backs....

money that was raised by selling weapons to the Ayatollah and running cocaine was
put into Swiss bank accounts, used to fund the Contras (off the books) along with
republican political operations, and pay some of the players like Ollie North very well
wound up “committing suicide”.

Iran Contra was a huge and very dirty operation which Bill Barr and our “liberal media”
managed to sweep away.

Republicans cheat end of story and BTW one of the finest men I have ever known was
our next door neighbor’s brother, Gov. Ray Shafer of PA and a Republican too. Those days
are long gone. Btw part two. It was just a middle class neighborhood.

Yes, I'm a Democrat. I'm also a Pennsylvanian. I admire Governor Shapiro. He's a good man, in my opinion, and has always looked out for ALL his constituents' well-being. He is also a Jew who lives his faith. Sorry to all the so-called Christians who think that somehow makes him less important than the oh-so-very-Christian Donald Trump and his right wing crusaders.
And did F***s News then go on to tell their devoted followers that Tulsi Gabbard got some kind of nasty text message? Which is, of course, the equivalent of having your home set on fire in the middle of the night. Oh my god! Clutch those pearls! Poor, poor Tulsi!
I wouldn't wish to see Tulsi's house/life/family threatened - or even Trump's.
Republican: good; Democrat: bad? I don't think so! Fundamentally, it's more like Ignorance: bad, Vengeance: bad F***s News VERY bad!
Are we ever going to wise up, or is this noble experiment called Democracy going to end "not with a whimper but a bang (apologies to TS Eliot)"?
