Fox News’ Dangerous Push For Pre-Emptive War With North Korea

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on January 11, 2018 · Flag

Fox News has long been chomping at the bit for military action against North Korea. But the network’s bellicosity is especially dangerous given that it has so much influence on Donald Trump.

Media Matters put together a mashup video of Fox’s war mongering. Of the 10, out of 11, talking heads I was able to identify cheerleading for war in the video, at least half never served in the military: John Bolton, Sean Hannity, Ainsley Earhardt, Charles Gasparino and Trent Franks never spent one minute in uniform. Sebastian Gorka appears to have served in the British Army but, as a lengthy investigation by Jezebel’s Anna Merlan noted, he has “given several different versions of precisely what his military service entailed” and she was unable to find “a single source to independently verify Gorka’s service history.” Whatever his service was (assuming it was), it seems to have been in intelligence, not combat.

- How could I be so stupid. FOX News only allows people to come on air who support FOX’s (war) agenda. And that includes Michelle Malkin.

Nuclear war with North Korea will be postponed until after the Winter Olympics are concluded.
Meanwhile, President P-Grabber is already preparing for yet another war. This time with Iran.

@ Willem Grooters Here’s your answer Willem:

’Nuff said.

- Does Michelle Malkin (featured in the video as well) also advocate war with North Korea ?

Its very scary how very similiar to the build up to the Iraq war this is. The Media especally the Right Wing Mediasphere is stroking the fire of war and I fear Trump wiol

@ Eyes On Fox How right you are EOF. Mark my words: if these right-wing über patriotic flag-wavers were EVER put inside a combat zone, THEY WOULD INSTANTLY S**T IN THEIR PANTS AND DIG FOXHOLES DEEP ENOUGH TO REACH CHINA the instant they’re shot at or a bomb or an IED or an RPG goes off near them!

Gorka was a Territorial Army volunteer in his student days (studying to be a priest!) The commitment involved was scarcely more than of a school cadet. A linguist, he served in a unit specialising in Russian language training which was disbanded with the end of the Cold War. All that he says about this experience is fantasy. It seems likely that he also ‘volunteered’ in the Bosnian Civil War 1992 – 1995, years that are not adequately documented in his CV or LInkedIn profile.

Funny how often the right-wing über patriotic flag-wavers like Donald Trump are draft dodgers.

The first volley of missiles should carry the first-born of Trump, Peters, Hannity and Bolton as ballast.
