The White House and Fox join forces to undermine anti-Trump protests as violent and fake


By Philip Bump February 6

Fox News’s “Fox and Friends” has quickly emerged as a stalwart advocate for the presidency of Donald Trump. This may be due in part to the fact that Trump watches the show with regularity — so much so that a visual gag from the show about Trump flickering the lights of the White House at the hosts’ request went viral last week simply out of believability.

Part of that defense of the beleaguered president has been to dismiss the protests against him as harmful, violent and artificial. Consider this remarkable snippet from Monday morning’s show.

“Violent protests like this,” the host says over footage from last week’s violence in Berkeley, Calif., “not only disgusting but also dangerous. Now rioters protesting the president’s immigration order are accused of blocking an ambulance carrying a critically ill patient in Connecticut.”

There’s no evidence at all that any significant portion of the attendees at the various protests we’ve seen over the last month have been paid. We can’t prove the negative that none were, of course, any more than we can prove that no tea party protesters were paid. But there’s simply no basis for the idea that the recent turnout has been a function of “professional” protesters.

This argument centers on the same idea as that espoused by Trump on Monday morning: Opposition to his presidency is phony. Whatever your views of the president, that’s not the case, just as it’s not the case that all of the protests are violent riots.

The question that follows, then, is a simple one: Why is “Fox and Friends” pretending that it is?

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Fox News has been a propaganda tool since Murdock's ownership. It should be fined for every lie.

2. FOX was created to present right wing alternate reality.

So FOX is not pretending, it is simply presenting what Libertarians want to see.

On that "critically ill patient in Connecticut":

Was he injured in the Bowling Green massacre? Perhaps the lone known survivor?

3. Yeah, big fucking brother is watching..

Thank you for this Important PSA, rivers.

4. Trump used Fox n Friends to prep the battlefield for his run

He called in every Monday to offer his take on the events of the prior week.

It's not hard looking smarter than Killmeade and Douchey.
