"I watch Fox News all day ..."

[left-of-center2012]

A caller this morning to the C-SPAN call in show 'Washington Journal',
supporting Trump's shut down and the border wall.

"I watch Fox News all day, and I see what's going on at the Mexican border.
All those people bringing in diseases, drugs, and terrorists.
You don't hear that on other news channels!"

[Snotcicles]

1. If you remove "other" from that quote, they'd be on to something. nt

[riversedge]

2. Translation: I watch vile @foxnews all day..." and fry my brain on #trump Propaganda!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. C-SPAN gets the weirdest callers

What happens when you don't have a screener.

[riversedge]

4. I used to watch morning journal but have cut back--as you say--weird callers.

[Boomerproud]

33. I refurse to watch Washington Journal for that reason.

It's as bad as listening to AM radio at 2am when I was driving home from second shift.

[Trumpocalypse]

7. And their callers

Seem to be skewed heavily to right wingers spouting BS and the anchors never correct them.

[Blue_true]

36. Mostly shutins, seem to me the few times that I have watched. nt

[spanone]

5. Yes dumbass, there's a reason you don't hear that on other channels.....

[LittleGirl]

9. I wish the main stream media

would acknowledge that more often!

[brush]

29. If they caugnt 3-4k terrorists coming across the border, where are they?

Why have there been no arrest reports?

We all know if terrorists were actually caught trump and FOX would be blaring it all over the media.

[spanone]

30. because it's all lies all the time.

he's only hired people who are willing to tell his lies over and over.

if they tell him the truth, he fires them.

6. Fox Is Pure Propoganda

If a democrat bragged about walking in on 14 year old girls in various states of undress MSNBC and CNN would not filter it out. Fox does. Fox hosts have run interference for Trump against other republicans like Mueller or Judges who have ruled against the Orange lying machine.

Again they function for Trump as Goebbels did for Hitler.

[watoos]

8. Oh yes you do hear it on other cable news channels.

They have plenty of guests on that spew out the same propaganda. Some of the anchors on msnbc and cnn could get a job at Fox.

I agree it isn't 24/7 like on Fox, but we don't have a major progressive cable news network on TV.

[dobleremolque]

10. "I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet." n/t

[watoos]

23. Winning post of the day!

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. Faux so-called news is

Joseph Goebbels incarnate.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. "I watch Fox News all day ..."

Except when they watch CSPAN in the morning to jam the lines with nonsense or during call-ins when Congress is not in session, where they again jam the lines with nonsense.

[dalton99a]

13. Caller smells shit all day and complains that other people don't smell like shit

[renate]

15. Oh I LOVE this!!!! nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

16. 😆😆😆

Perfect!

[Heartstrings]

25. Perfect!

[sarge43]

14. Ignorance can be cured, stupid? Not so much.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Other news channels (real news channels) deal much more in facts than propaganda. . . . nt

[dlk]

18. This Person Has Had Their Mind Saturated with Propaganda

What a waste of a brain.

[Initech]

32. Once you've been indoctrinated into the Fox cult there's no turning back.

[orleans]

19. this is actually quite funny, imo

like the c-span callers who call in on the democrats line when they are obviously nothing akin to a democrat.

i wouldn't be surprised if this one claimed to be a democrat--republicans are just that stupid.

[calimary]

20. There's a REASON why you don't hear that crap on other news channels.

I guess the limited intellectual capability of the trump-TV consumer is enjoying a nice little showcase. This individual is evidently incapable of feeling shame or embarrassment for manifested shortcomings.

The trump supporter, ladies and gentlemen.

[Mr. Ected]

21. And this is exactly the reason Putin has gained control over our country

It's a 2-step process:

1. 24/7 bombardment of Russian propaganda disguised as purported right-wing policy and practice;

2. The explicit instruction to listeners to disavow any information contrary to what is learned under step 1.

Voila. Instant brainwashing, hiding in plain sight.

[Beacool]

22. Hey moron, maybe there's a reason why you don't hear that on the other news channels.

Maybe you don't hear it because FOX propagates fake news. Idiot!!!

[SergeStorms]

24. Overheard at a restaurant yesterday A.M.

I was having breakfast with some old chums, and in the booth behind us some rubes were talking about, "poor Donald Trump. They're picking on him so much. All of these investigations by those damned 'libruls'. Why can't they just let him run the country? "

Then there was a border discussion, "95% of those illegal immigrants end up on welfare. They should just shoot them all on sight, women, children, every damned one of them." After that one guy started talking in word salad like his hero, Trump, and everything was so convoluted and utterly ignorant I had to stop eavesdropping.

THIS is what listening only to Trump and FOX News does to your brain. Any questions?

[violetpastille]

28. What is this "Welfare"?

https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/summary-immigrant-eligibility-restrictions-under-current-law

Undocumented immigrants fall under the latter group. They do not have access to programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (welfare), Social Security and Medicare. However, Medicaid can be used to cover costs in the event of a medical emergency.

Even qualified immigrants, such as lawful permanent residents and children, do not automatically qualify for government assistance. They must first undergo a five-year waiting period under federal law, although states may choose to make exceptions.

[SergeStorms]

37. Never, NEVER...

try to use facts to win a debate with a Trumptard. Facts only piss them off, then the firearms start popping out. They're convinced that hot lead is the ultimate arbiter of any argument.

[elmac]

26. I've been seeing a lot of twitter accounts popping up with 1 or 2 posts

egging the situation on in a very putinish way. They are feeding fox snooze too, fox snooze should be shut down as an enemy of the state.

[lunatica]

34. I've seen quite a few here too

They believe they’re subtle.

[elmac]

35. Subtle, yep, that's the word I was thinking of. nt

[grumpyduck]

27. My response to that caller would be

Dude, GET A LIFE!

[Initech]

31. Yeah because if there's anyone I trust for border news, it's Fox News!
