CLAIMS VIEWERS “ANGRY”
by Sharon Rondeau
(Apr. 26, 2020) — In a four-tweet series on Sunday evening, President Donald Trump railed against the Fox News Channel, alleging that it is taking unvetted “Democrat talking points” about his administration and reiterating them “without hesitation or research.”
On Sunday morning on its news ticker, Fox News ran a report that Trump is considering firing his Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar.
In a fifth tweet, Trump denied that was the case. “Alex is doing an excellent job,” Trump wrote, blaming the alleged rumor on “The Lamestream Media” who “never even called to ask.”
Trump’s complaint of Fox’s performance is not the first of its kind. Prior to his election in 2016, it was rumored that he might have an interest in launching a new media initiative, particularly if he lost to Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Since his early days as a New York businessman and real-estate mogul, Trump’s relationship with the media has been adversarial. At more than one coronavirus press conference over the last two weeks, he pointedly accused members of the “mainstream” media of generating “fake news” and displaying, in his view, “disgraceful” behavior when posing questions.
The media has arguably shown open hostility and contempt for Trump in its reportage of him over the last 3+ years, with his administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic no exception.
In a column following Trump’s tweets, Fox News reported that the allegation about Azar came from Politico which cited unnamed sources. Fox did not cite its own independent source.
“@FoxNews just doesn’t get what’s happening!” Trump tweeted. “They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research. They forgot that Fake News@CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let@FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates………Even the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats laughed at the Fox suggestion. No respect for the people running @FoxNews. But Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct. They put RINO Paul Ryan on their Board. They hire ‘debate questions to Crooked Hillary’….….fraud@donnabrazile (and others who are even worse). Chris Wallace is nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes. The people who are watching@FoxNews, in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry. They want an alternative now. So do I!”
His reference to Brazile invoked the former Democratic strategist and current Fox News contributor’s admission that she provided debate topics to the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign. Fox hired Brazile in March of last year.
Ryan, who served as the Republican Speaker of the House between late 2015 and early 2019 while representing Wisconsin’s First Congressional District, was asked to serve on the Board of Directors of FNC’s parent company, Fox Corporation, at approximately the same time as Brazile’s hiring.
During the 2016 campaign, Ryan vowed not to campaign for Trump after a recording of a private conversation between Trump and then-“Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush was leaked. In an uncomplimentary editorial in Vanity Fair last summer, Eric Lutz wrote that Ryan guffawed in an interview when recalling his having learned of Trump’s March 4, 2017 tweet stating that he was “wire tapped” by the Obama regime, a claim which proved accurate as evidenced by the FBI’s having obtained four successive FISA warrants on Trump former campaign adviser Carter W. Page by submitting unverified information to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
In his piece, Lutz wrote that Trump made the allegation “without proof or basis in reality,” reportage repeated often in the mainstream media at the time.
When rumor first circulated that Ryan did not intend to seek re-election, Trump praised Ryan’s accomplishments. Last summer, however, he criticized Ryan as “ineffective” and an “abysmal” fundraiser for Republicans.
The media was quick to report Trump’s Sunday “tweetstorm.”
You can watch almost any video with Alex Newman and he will tell you that Fox is affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations. And I’m sure there are other affiliations that obliterate their credibility. I concur with the president on this matter of having a reputable, accountable alternative news source.
On the one hand, for political expediency, I “get” the reluctance to delve into the Obama usurpation rabbit hole on the part of some of these people (if that’s what’s happening, though I doubt it…they either can’t or don’t want to), because I know that there’s some powerful magic out there that has MOST of the world…not just the USA…under a spell. Ridiculous as it may be…uninformed people all over the world love (trust me, this is even painful to write) him and his whatever Michelle/Michael is. They feel he perfectly embodied what a leader should be, because they only know what a figure head leader is, in most cases. So, their leaders have been people who would do a lot of grandstanding, but didn’t actually save the country from anything, except its own lack of role models. That’s why tons of people drank themselves into drunken stupors in the Soviet Union. In my time, I recall people drinking perfume, it was so bad.
But a full expose of Obama…repeated again and again, along with all of his crimes. I think would eventually have an effect..and at least bring something into focus for the masses who, regardless of side, are mostly not paying complete attention. I also think that a documentary in the vein of “Planet of the Humans” (Michael Moore) would, in its trojan horse way, do a bit of the trick. The movie lures in some of the left, but seems more aimed at the right as it starts off…then, albeit superficially, exposes the green movement and the useless green “technologies” that are pushed.
As I say, it pulls in the green doubter, and there’s a reason. The film then proceeds to inundate us with the earth is dying off quickly narrative, while telling some astounding (to most people) truths. Ultimately, the film is an agenda 21/2030 push; depopulation, socialism, etc.
The final scene shows an orangutan in a barren tree, swinging. Why is the orangutan in this high barren tree? I can only imagine they enticed it with food…or…they put it there from a helicopter. Whatever…documentary film crews who get that lucky with wild animals better go play the lottery, and they know it. Thus, virtually all wild animal shots with them performing some desired action are staged setups. Film crews are known to do ANYTHING to get a shot. Working with animals, trained or not, is usually a random, frustrating, expensive experience. Immediately thereafter somehow they have a dead orangutan. People are crying at this point, and they continuously harp on how this is capitalism that ultimately has led to this. Meanwhile, as we know, not only have most of the world’s woes been caused by people with a UN/socialist agenda, but so was the Green movement fomented. Either way, this film will be a game changer. It will be hard to fight this kind of imagery. And the only solution is to keep impressionable conservatives from seeing it, otherwise there’s an even more skewed electorate, as if we need more uninformed voters in our midst. it would be nice if everyone could make these discernments, but we know that’s not the case.
And I’d like to reiterate that Michael Moore is worth fifty million dollars and has nine homes, according to information that I could find, corroborated by Larry Elder.
How far back does FAUX NEWS’ failure to report the greatest, most threatening news story ever in our country’s history, go? At least back to May 17, 2012. And, little, if anything, has changed since then.
On May 17, 2012, I telephoned Fox News and asked to be connected to their newsroom. I told them that I had knowledge of a breaking news story that date (by Breitbart staff). Somewhat surprisingly, my call was actually put through to the newsroom.
The news manager or other person who spoke to me refused to identify himself. I, however, voluntarily gave him my actual name, Thomas Arnold. I told him that I had just learned that “Barack Obama” was born outside the United States (i.e. assuming it was true, “Obama” would not qualify as a natural born American citizen constitutionally eligible to serve as our president). The information was part of a bio of prominent young “Americans” published in 1991 and had not been contested or changed for over sixteen years until 2007 (noted to have been when “Obama” began campaigning for the presidency, after which he succeeded in STEALING it).
At that point, the newsroom manger or other FNC employee began referring to me as “BENEDICT ARNOLD!” Every time that he spoke to me, he called me “BENEDICT ARNOLD!” I repeat- EVERY TIME! He even asked me if I knew who my ancestors were, and if they “came over on the Mayflower!” He said that I was a “CRAZY PERSON” and “TRAITOR!” After a few minutes of this VERBAL ASSAULT ON ME, I hung up.
I immediately wrote to FOX NEWS management and filed a formal FCC complaint. Need I tell you- I never received an apology from anyone at FAUX NEWS, and the Federal Communications Committee denied my complaint, saying that a news agency could decide for themselves what to report and what not to report! Interestingly, though, the fact that “Obama” was a main part of the subject matter of my complaint was NEVER mentioned in their correspondence back to me!
EVERY YEAR ON THE ANNIVERSARY DATE (May 17th) OF THIS FIASCO, I WRITE A NOT SO FRIENDLY NOTE TO FAUX NEWS MANAGEMENT. I ask them for an apology. For the name of the _______ ____ who berated me. Their response- NOTHING! NO CORPORATE GOOD WILL OR CONCERN FOR THEIR VIEWERS- CERTAINLY NOT FOR ME!
This incident is just one of hundreds, if literally not thousands, of times that FAUX NEWS has abandoned its journalistic responsibilities and WITHHELD vital newsworthy information about “Barack Obama” from the public. FAUX NEWS, as much if not more so than any other network, has COVERED UP FOR and ENABLED “BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA” IN HIS TREASONOUS THEFT OF THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENCY AND COMMAND OF OUR ARMED FORCES. ONE MIGHT CALL THEIR BEHAVIOR “MISPRISION.”
AMERICA, SADLY, HAS BEEN LIVING A LIE, CONTRIBUTED TO IN PART BY FAUX NEWS AND MUCH TOO MANY OF ITS PRETEND PATRIOTS, PHONY JOURNALISTS, AND ETHICALLY CHALLENGED EXECUTIVES.
FOX NEWS became FAUX NEWS on or about 2007-08 (if not earlier).
That was when “Barack Hussein Obama,” or whoever he is, and his handlers (CIA, DNC, CPUSA, the Deep State, the Saudis, The Muslim Brotherhood, Hollywood elites, filthy rich globalists, princes, and dictators, etc) began in earnest their THEFT of the United States Presidency.
Yes, I said “THEFT.” “Obama” was a Manchurian candidate who for all practical purposes STOLE the presidency and command of our country’s armed forces.
Of note is the fact that Nancy Pelosi, who then was Speaker of the House, signed a fraudulent Certification of Nomination form which OMITTED the customary, required phrasing that the democrat candidate met the constitutional requirements to run for and serve in the high office. The Certificate of Nomination was then delivered to the various secretaries of state for placement on their states’ general election ballots. “Obama” was elected (obviously by fraud).
WHERE WAS FOX NEWS? What about it Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity, all of who claimed that they VETTED “Obama!” The only one of these so-called journalists who is still with FAUX NEWS is Sean Hannity. A few years ago, Hannity was scheduled to interview Sheriff Joe Arpaio and/or other members of the Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Posse investigating “Obama,” but HANNITY CANCELLED AT THE LAST MINUTE! This was at the same time that “Obama’s” so-called Hawaiian birth certificate had been found to be a FORGERY.
Needless to say, such oversights and cover-ups (of “Obama’s” treasonous behavior) by FNC must have been known to and choreographed by Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and probably the Saudis, too, who owned a large percentage of the network.
Today, I regret to say, but I believe Hannity’s outspoken and vitriolic partisanship against the liberal left, despite him being a “reporter” and news “commentator,” is HIS WAY OF ATTEMPTING TO RIGHT THE WRONGS OF HIMSELF (especially himself) AND HIS FNC COHORTS. IT MUST BE VERY TROUBLING FOR HANNITY TO CONSIDER HIS LEGACY.
AGAIN, MR HANNITY, I AM SORRY TO SAY, BUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! AND, POSSIBLY A BIT INSINCERE.
YOU AND FOX NEWS HAVE, FOR YEARS, BEEN AIDING AND ABETTING (by your silence if not actually witting conspiracy) THE CRISIS THAT OUR ONCE GREAT NATION IS IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING. “IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING” APPEARS TO BE THE BEST CASE SCENARIO.
heh… this will piss off a boatload of liberals… i lost full interest in fox with the addition of mark furhman and donna brazille, no explanation necessary.
the end of the deep state will come full circle to obama, chicago and the truth.
i’m betting $25 K on it.
ironically, now senator obama needs Trump to get his “original”. poetic justice in motion.
