New York (CNN Business)It was a conspiracy that Fox News portrayed as one of the greatest — if not the greatest — political scandals in American history.
Tucker Carlson called it a "domestic spying operation" that was "hidden under the pretext of national security." Laura Ingraham characterized top Obama administration officials as having been "exposed." And Sean Hannity flatly declared it to be the "biggest abuse of power, corruption scandal" the country had ever seen.
Now Trump is on the verge of firing Bill Bar for not making this conspiracy theory materialize.
(Now--that's a dream come true!)
The mid-May scandal Fox created should have been publicly shamed immediately for being a sensationalized fake diversion that endangered lives. Sensation with the cost of many lives.
Yesterday NY Post tried to push through an October surprise, misinformation from Rudy Giuliani. Thanks to Jack Dorsey and section 230, it was blocked on Twitter and Facebook until fact checking before it went viral. Same old story about Hunter Biden and alleged among gun emails. Story is mostly false.
Just slinging excrement like monkeys. DJT’s base ate it up and still believes it. Just like the birther stuff. When you are trained to believe “Gospel Truth” you will swallow any lie as long as there is no evidence supporting it.
Trump doesn't eat it up, he made it up. He knows it's not true but he knows his minions will "eat it up" and propagate it.
