Discussion: Fox News Contributor Calls Network 'Propaganda Machine' In Farewell Email

[ottnott]

Wow, watching CBS News and they say Facebook could be fined as much as 2 trillion dollars for selling customer info to CA.

Dr. Evil would have croaked before he could say treeellion.

"Now the mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I’m going out to sea"
— Lyle Lovett, “If I Had A Boat”

Yep. I just looked it up. $40k per offense multiplied by 50 million. I’m starting to develop romantic feelings for all those zeros.

[pike_bishop]

Yeaahh, buddy - that there’s a great tape!

[psyclone]

What, too easy?

[darrtown]

Praps ol fat nixon will submit to a lie detector test? Hehehehahaha(snort)!!! I have some questions I’d like to ask…

[clunkertruck]

What, too easy?

Bzzzzzzzz …

Wrong Question ! –

[serendipitoussomnambulist]

According to sleazy and scumbag Murdoch’s Fox News, the general was using his opinion a as a weapon? Was this the same way that wrinkled douchebag Murdoch, creepy Roger Ailes, Bill O’Lielly and Erick Bolling were using their penises in Fox Headquarters to prey on women?

“A mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration.”
Colonel Peters, 65, wrote that Fox News’s prime-time anchors “dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the F.B.I., the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller.”
[H]e could not “in good conscience” remain with an organization that “is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.”

[ncsteve]

Martin was right

[socalista]

This comes right as CA+FB is being exposed. Could be he senses the jig is now (finally!) up.

[rascal_crone]

$2 trillion is what you call a hefty fine. I just measured the number space on my checkbook—it’s exactly one inch. Twelve zeros and a 2, you’d have to make the numbers teeny.

I wish I had that problem.

[psyclone]

Something about stopped clocks etc.

Of course, Peters’ realization that he was working for a corrupt organization proceeded about as quickly as a stopped clock.

[pauldownard]

And you think you have a reputation left?
Should have stayed. The only folks who will take you seriously are the mentally challenged people who watch Fox.
I was going to say mentally ill, but that would have been an insult to mentally ill people.

[sickneffintired]

Well, for eight of those he was spreading lie based propaganda against Obama so all was good.

Bingo

[littlegirlblue]

Sometimes it may sound like I know what I’m talking about when I submit posts. If that’s these case I can only say I’d be someone to scroll past without Maddow and O’Donnell in my life and on my screen.

I’m assuming all is well in your part of Austin. Yes?

[austin_dave]

I live in Chicago now, but people I know in Austin are concerned, but ok. Thanks!

[littlegirlblue]

Where would I be without my understanding of how a president’s administration is supposed to work without O’Donnell’s contributions to The West Wing and his real and years-long work for a Democratic Senator. Nor would I know what a “memcon” is, a memo of conversation which both Comey and McCabe created in the aftermath of conversations with trumpp, what he’s now calling fake memos. He’s just jealous because he’s semi-illiterate. Hahaha

[cub_calloway]

The worm turns.

(late to the party. general comment regarding subject of story)

[littlegirlblue]

Okay. I’m trying to remember where various users live, and I’d assume incorrectly.
