Fox News is practically begging Trump to fire Mueller

Fox News, creepy and subversive trying to rot the core of America! When will Fox News be called out for what it is, Joseph Goebbels, Germany WWII, reincarnated for the 21st century.

https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/12/08/Fox-News-is-practically-begging-Trump-to-fire-Mueller/218781

Fox News’ prime-time block of programming these days is extremely dark. The network’s evening hosts have been in a highly agitated state, filling the airwaves with grave warnings about totalitarianism, covert subversion by anti-democratic forces, and midnight raids on the quiet homes of unsuspecting citizens. This churning miasma of corruption and menace is sourced to a single nefarious person whose scheming -- if left unchecked -- could undermine civil society and pose a threat to the very fabric of American democracy itself.

That person is special counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller has never been the most popular person at Fox News given that he’s busily investigating Donald Trump, whom the network treats less as a president and more as a living sun god. Fox’s biggest names have been working to discredit Mueller and calling for his head for months. (A Media Matters study found that Sean Hannity had called for Mueller to resign or be fired 40 times between May and the beginning of November.) But ever since news broke that Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn had cut a deal with the special counsel and pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI, the level of anti-Mueller histrionics at Fox has spiked as the network’s hosts and contributors paint Mueller and his investigation as existential threats to the country.

Sean Hannity kicked off his December 6 show by ripping into “Robert Mueller's partisan extremely biased hyper-partisan attack team.” To Hannity, the fact that Mueller (a registered Republican as of several years ago) hired investigators who donated to Democratic campaigns meant that “Robert Mueller has assembled the most partisan special counsel in history. Now, they are in utter disgrace in terms of equal justice under the law.” Per Hannity, Mueller and his team “now pose a direct threat to you, the American people and our American republic.”

1. They (FOX) will get him really lathered up and off-the-chart unhinged. This is dangerous since

he frequently sends out a rage tweet immediately after watching their morning show.

The moron is listening to these idiots for HIS DAILY SECURITY BRIEFING FFS! Not only that but they suggest domestic and foreign policy advice which he frequently touts or adopts. It's like fucking FOX is running the country!

When they are repeatedly SCREAMING at him to fire Mueller, expect him to figure out a way to do it.

And it doesn't help one bit that treasonous, Congressional rat-bastards like Nunes, Gowdy, Ryan and others, are conspiring against him (Mueller) either.

We're in a world of hurt right now folks. Buckle up and hang the fuck on.

If you can, help register people to vote! If you can, drive someone to the polls! Do whatever you can to turn out the vote!

2. Fox News is and has been waging war against the US, but now is on steroids. Their agenda never

gets formally questioned, and neither does Rupert Murdoch get questioned. Many don't see it as a war, since there are no overt physical effects, but it is a war, and apparently they are also colluding with foreign powers IMO directly or indirectly as they try to bring Mueller down. One has to pause and ask, why would a propaganda outlet like Fox News want to bring Mueller down, other than to support a coup. The US is in dangerous times, far more than I think most people realize.
