President Donald Trump on Sunday reused talking points from Fox & Friends after the conservative morning show blasted MSNBC host Rachel Maddow over a story about the killing of four U.S. service members in Niger.
The hosts of Fox & Friends began their 7 a.m. ET hour by lambasting Maddow for a theory linking the Trump administrations travel ban to the lack of support for Sgt La David Johnson and three other troops killed in Niger. Maddow suggested that Chad had pulled a large contingent of forces out of Niger recently in response to Trumps ban on travel from the nation.
If you lean forward and you use your pen and you pause and you look thoughtful into the camera, then you must be saying something substantive, co-host Pete Hegseth joked in a jab at Maddow. Or maybe youre widely [sic] spinning a conspiracy theory as the leader of the left.
This is whats dangerous, co-host Abby Huntsman opined. Its dangerous when the media starts having conversations about this and putting in their own theories that are completely unrelated to what actually happened. Its dangerous, not only for us in terms of figuring out what did happen. But its dangerous to the families that lost loved ones over there because theyre the ones who should be the focus of this conversation and somehow we go down these roads oftentimes and its such a distraction and its such a disservice to this country and what our job is in the media.

(13,485 posts)explanation for the death of soldiers. It's dangerous to not "feel" the pain of tbe families of the bereaved. It's dangerous to lambast those who do understand such pain. It's dangerous to not take resposibility for your public mistakes and lies. It's dangerous to believe you are invincible as a leader.
Fox is playing to its ignorant base again. That is also dangerous.

(16,104 posts)They are still promoting "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!" CT.
They are spinning out "Democratic Obstruction in Congress!" as reason why R's won't vote for their own legislation!
Nothing irritates me more than rightwing hypocrisy, which is just another thing that makes Fox Networks of Propaganda unwatchable.
