After President Biden mentioned that the Trump Republican Get together is on the march to semi-fascism, Fox Information responded by melting down and defending fascism.
Biden said at a Maryland fundraiser, “What we’re seeing now’s both the start or the loss of life knell of an excessive MAGA philosophy. It’s not simply Trump, it’s your complete philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say one thing — it’s like semi-fascism.”
Video of the Fox Information response:
Transcribing and quoting the Fox Information response could be elevating anti-democracy propaganda. The video may be watched above, however Fox Information responded to Biden’s level by defending Trump’s fascism with a point-by-point checklist of what the failed former president “achieved.” The checklist was not factual and loaded with misleading statements or flat-out lies.
Fox and visitor Karl Rove used their commonplace strategy of personalization and projection by inaccurately claiming that Biden was speaking about each one who voted for Donald Trump whereas he was not. The President was speaking about an anti-democracy shift ideologically throughout the Trump GOP.
Importantly, the Fox Information/Rove response was lacking one key factor. The media propagandists by no means defended democracy. Fox and Rove didn’t focus on the Republican help for democracy and what Republicans have accomplished to strengthen democracy.
It will be simple to defend democracy if Trump’s occasion nonetheless believed in it, however this omission demonstrated that they don’t.
Fox Information acquired hysterical, exaggerated, and melted down, however by no means as soon as did they deny Biden’s level that the Republican Get together has change into basically undemocratic beneath Donald Trump.
