I'm loving the circular firing squad that's forming over Trump's constant use of Fox and Fiends as his exclusive source of mockable misinformation!
1. Trump sees something ridiculous on Fox & Fiends while he's sitting on his golden toilet in the morning.
2. He tweets it.
3. News outlets easily debunk it.
4. Sean Spicer is forced to make a (bigger) fool of himself defending it.
5. Trump says "Don't blame ME. I saw it on FOX!" at an international news conference.
6. Suddenly EVERYBODY is talking about the UTTER CRAP that Fox is telling their idiotic viewers.
7. Fox is forced to throw one of their shows (F&F) and one of their pundits (Napolitano) under the bus in order to protect the 'credibility' of other shows.
8. Go back to Step 1, REPEAT.
This is pretty good! For 20 years Fox has been preaching bullshit to their viewers, and they've been largely ignored by everybody except Jon Stewart. Other news networks didn't cover the bullshit they were spewing because they didn't want to give them free publicity. But when one of their idiot viewers suddenly becomes the occupant of the White House, and (worse yet) starts REPEATING their bullshit....it becomes problematic. Their misinformation campaign becomes front page news, and they have to go into damage control mode.
Love how Brett Baier has to throw Fox & Friends and Napolitano under the bus.
"Now we LOVE Judge Napolitano, BUT the Fox News Division was never able to back up any of those claims. (Despite the fact that Napolitano said this was reported TO FOX NEWS, and not to him personally.) And, was never reported on THIS show..."
HAH! No, just to the dim-bulbs on Fox & Fiends.

(26,284 posts)tried blowing smoke in front of our eyes by going on about the news media would have a field day if Trump released the fisa information but the reason Trump hasnt released it isnt because of the media its because Trump cannot order something to be released when it doesnt exist and never existed except in the minds of some delusional people like Trump.

(5,275 posts)Fox being exposed, often by other Fox Shows....well it's overdue. Let us hope it continues.
Fox has been 99% the propoganda arm of the right since it hit the air.
"Fox And Friends" may be the most insidious. Their "some say" hints of bad things are always aimed at the the left. At this point more than some say Chitolini is a blustery jerk with the maturity of a 9 year old, me for one, but that will never see the light of day with those 3 half wits.
All media is on call as he constantly calls real news fake as he spread lies.
