'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson claims 'Satan controls media, institutions of higher learning and Hollywood'

"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson does not have nice things to say to the media outlets that have been accusing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of being a "fascist."

Speaking to Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon, Robertson says he believes these outlets are actually being moved by evil forces. "Satan controls our news media, Satan controls our institutions of higher learning, and he controls what goes on in Hollywood... They will label people like Trump what they are," he says.

"There [are] two great powers at work. There's good—that's God—and [there's] evil. You have the larger portion [that is] controlled by the evil one," he says.

During the same interview, Robertson also talks about his new film "Torchbearer," which explores the negative effects on society when Western civilisation continues to push God away.

Reminds me of those always complaining about "MSM" while pushing an agenda.

that Satan controls the media! Think of how boring our movies and TV would be if Jesus controlled them.

OTOH: If Jesus controlled the media, then the white supremacists would have been right about their Jewish media control conspiracy...

while this guy is blaming it all on an imaginary being that uses mind control. But this is the leader of the family given a major speaking spot at the Republican convention. And that A&E continues to give publicity to.

he's not dumb in the least, he's con artist.

and everything he rails against, is what made his life possible.

if DJT were to win the presidency (still a long shot, imho), i would 100% expect him to try for some fiat censorship on mass media and public education, because it'd be easy for him, serves to throw some raw meat for the attack dog rubes, and would be an opportunity to display his gigantic peen power in public.

naturally such controls would be dismantled by legal challenges on 1st amendment grounds, but by the time the case was decided, he'd be on to something else, along with the attention-deficit public who mistakenly think "at least he did something about it" as they continue to watch the same sordid shit as before.
