Winstonm Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Question of the day: Is Fox News becoming an enemy of all people and democracy itself? Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed Colin Kaepernick and Nike executives on Tuesday, calling their collaboration on a controversial new ad “an attack on the country.” Appearing on “Fox and Friends,” Carlson took particular aim at the Nike officials for featuring Kaepernick in the spot for the 30th anniversary of the company’s “Just do it” campaign. A picture of Kaepernik appears with the tagline: “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything,” referring to the price the pro football quarterback has paid for helping instigate protests by NFL players during the playing of the national anthem. Carlson said “there’s something decadent” about the ad, insisting it shows that some of nation’s “the most successful people” hate U.S. society. “And it’s a metaphor for our entire ruling class, many of whom feel that way,” he insisted. “They hate and resent the very system that made their prosperity, their success possible. He later characterized the ad in apocalyptic terms, saying Nike’s “attack” on this country is how “everything falls apart.” The goal of Fox - an instituted by Roger Ailes - is to polarize the country and turn opposition into enemies to be resisted at all cost - in this way the party does not have to have any message other than "We are not them."

Winstonm Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Another reason to be proud. President Donald Trump loves to talk about his love of U.S. soldiers, but did absolutely nothing to honor them on Veterans Day because he was “busy on calls.” In an interview with Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace airing later this weekend, the host asked the president why he didn’t visit Arlington National Cemetery on the holiday honoring U.S. veterans. “I should have done that, I was extremely busy on calls for the country, we did a lot of calling as you know,” Trump said, according to a partial transcript of the interview given to reporters.
