Counter-intel expert says Trump needs Fox News to ‘perpetuate the fraud’ that people must die to save his economy

President Donald Trump’s misinformation campaign around the coronavirus needs a critical ally to accomplish it: Fox News.
In a panel discussion, former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Frank Figliuzzi explained that the pro-Trump propaganda used to come out of Russia, but now it’s deadly propaganda coming from inside the house.
“You know, it is interesting that we have become so attuned, as you said, to external disinformation, disinformation from outside sources like Russia and now more than ever before we have to be attuned to disinformation from within,” said Figliuzzi during the discussion with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace. “That means outlets like Fox News. Carl Marx once famously wrote that ‘religion was the opiate of the masses.’ Marx was wrong because he never met Fox News.”
He went on to say that had Marx met Fox he would have said that the outlet’s “dangerously mutually dependent relationship” between the government and the media was the true opiate of the people.
