32. It is done on purpose.

Mar 2018

Fox and other RW media, are not simply questioning the facts, they are downright living in an alternate universe, taking their viewers/listeners along with them into their Unpleasantville. Where, besides lambasting all Democrats, liberals, progressives, students, immigrants on the Left, they also pretend that there is nothing to see here folks in regards to behavior of the Right. That it is all a witch hunt and they have nothing. (Even as you point out, indictments have already taken place!). That it is all concocted up by lefties and will eventually peter out. They are setting up a reaction from their listeners when (hopefully) Trump is finally indicted. To them, it will seem like it came out of the blue (Democrat blue). That Dems and the 'deep state' and George Soros swept in in an early morning raid on their savior and messiah....without cause or proof, or reason other than to stop Trump from making America great again.

I am afraid of the reaction. Imagine what you'd do a year into Obama's Presidency, if in your mind, you believed that Obama was a decent, honorable, President. Which we all did. (Because it was true) Then with Dems lacking any majority, the Repubs after yet another wasted tax dollar investigation, say on the so-called Fast and Furious alleged wrongdoing, suddenly one morning indicted Obama for treasonous behaviour, out of the blue and led him away in handcuffs. Maybe along with Pelosi and Schumer.

Because that is how many are being conditioned and set up for . And what I fear is that Fox News and other RW media might just go 'all in', and even start to help coordinate and rally the next civil war. And there will literally be zombified crowds with torches surrounding the holding area for Trump storming the gates to free him.

Fox News is what is wrong with them. madaboutharry Mar 2018 #1
