Weekly Standard Founder And Editor-At-Large Bill Kristol: ‘America Has A Fox News Problem' |
2018-10-30 |
[The Federalist] In a tweet sent Monday morning, the founder and editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard declared that "The United States of America has a Fox News problem." Bill Kristol quoted a tweet from NBC’s John Harwood, who had quoted a tweet by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski linking to an article about Fox Business’s Lou Dobbs. In a segment about the thousands of migrants traveling to the U.S. border with the intention to enter illegally, a guest described the caravan as "highly organized," and implied they may be getting help from employees who work for the "Soros-occupied State Department," an obvious reference to government officials being sympathetic towards liberal mega-donor George Soros’s push for open borders. This has somehow been interpreted to mean something sinister and anti-Semitic, since Soros is Jewish and was targeted by the bomb package-sender last week. The Washington Post blamed right-wing "conspiracy theories" about the caravan organizers for the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, where 11 people were killed. |

#6 Coming from NeverTrumper uber leftist Kristol, not really surprising. He would ban all speech he doesn't agree with if he could. |

#5 The Washington Post blamed right-wing "conspiracy theories" about the caravan organizers for the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue Seems like a bit of a stretch, even for the WaPo. |

#3 So Kristol just doesn't like POVs that oppose his own? Probably doesn't like being shown to be an idiot. |

#2 Bill Kristol quoted a tweet from NBC’s John Harwood, who had quoted a tweet by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski linking to an article about Fox Business’s Lou Dobbs. Kind of says it all about the current discourse. |
