MSNBC Fights Back Against Fox News Propaganda Factory

As Minister of Propaganda for the Radical Republicans, Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel fluffs up amateur President Donald Trump while huffing and puffing fire and smoke at Trump’s targets in a manner both cynical and sinister.

Because he is a confidant of the word-slurring, 71-year-old, orange-faced, yellow-haired demagogue, Hannity is both influential and dangerous as Trump grows more desperate. The progressive network MSNBC seems to notice this and fought back on Thursday.

In an Olympian display of baton-passing, its show hosts played Hannity highlights from hour to hour and answered them with stern commentary.

After each video clip, the hosts made the point that Hannity and the Republican Party are using unseemly personal attacks to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller, the FBI, the Justice Department and the investigation into the dirty deeds of the Trump gang.

He is unlikeable to the max, just so annoying. And a constant liar.

Plus a face most non wingnuts would love to punch.

Someone needs to throw a question out of the blue at him in Russian and see how he initially responds.

Fox "News" deliberate misleading and character assassinations for purely political reasons, IS A NEWS STORY in and of itself. An important one.

Fox is obviously setting up their base for when Mueller brings charges, maybe even to Trump or his family. That by then they will be so brainwashed and angry that they simply will not accept the verdict. They are basically inciting a new civil war.
