During an appearance on Fox News within minutes of the Justice Department inspector general report’s release Monday afternoon, Chris Wallace reported that “the headline is they didn’t find the things that Bill Barr and Donald Trump alleged.”
That’s not the headline that’s running on your network’s website, Chris.
I appreciate these things being pointed out by Wallace, but lets be clear here. Trump voters, FOX news watchers, might see this once. They are low IQ/low information voters. This is just a single line, countered by FOX’s repetition of the contrary 24/7 on it’s propoganda shows.
The only way to reach these voters is if someone spends $10-15-20M running facebook ads (the place where Trump’s baby-boomer supporters live) and TV ads on game shows and right wing tv shows to boost the quote, and what it represents into people’s minds. Trump repeats things over and over as it works. We need to do the same.
Calling Tom Steyer to stop his ego driven campaign, and use his money for good. Hopefully (and it appears so) Bloomberg does the same.
““So it seems to me that the headline here is that [Horowitz] basically found that the FBI conducted the investigations of the warrant on a proper legal basis,””
If you’re a Journalist, you don’t work for this crew, Chris. End of story. Your place in history is set, and it ain’t anywhere near the place your father holds.
Note how carefully they exclude everything the Dems or their witnesses are actually even saying. It’s all “here’s what the GOP paid counsel is saying” and “here is the tantrum such and such GOPer threw” and that’s it. You’d think the Dems and their witnesses weren’t even present in the room if all you watched was Faux News.
What a putrid swamp of propaganda. In that page clip, 8 of 9 links provide the Republican spin on impeachment and ‘establish’ the false narrative that Repubs are bravely combatting the crazy Dems and scorching them.
The best one is the one in the lower right. I listened to that stupid fuck and he failed to mention or defend in any manner the charges or evidence against Trump
Lying Liars and the lies they tell right along with grievous omissions
What’s truly frustrating about all this is that Horowitz wasn’t even investigating the right thing. He’s supposed to work for us and his job is to investigate the Department of Justice ESPECIALLY the guy at the top. Instead, he was tasked by Barr to uncover Trump’s political enemies within his own agency based on the theory that the FBI must have gone rogue and Horowitz needed to find the moles for Trump.
So Horowitz’s report is that Barr was mistaken because the DOJ turned out to be clean, when he should have been investigating Barr in regards to why this investigation even happened because it’s entirely improper for the Attorney General to get involved in any of this. It’s times like this I’m glad I take crazy pills.
