Fox Host Cries That the Media is Warping Reality (It’s Not)

Fox News exists to spray propaganda to the people that want to be manipulated further right. It is just very hard to get propaganda right when most people really like the president and love what the president is trying to do. Citizens are impressed that vaccines are showing up everywhere, with younger and younger people eligible. Citizens got their checks. They got unemployment extended. They want their freeways repaved and the airport renovated. Joe Biden is getting it done and he’s being a pretty good guy about it.

And, maybe we need to apologize to Republicans, but some educated, former GOP voters in the suburbs, are actually tired of seeing police s**ting unarmed Black men and do not like hearing from networks or people that will defend it, any time, and never have a bad word to say about cops.

But, without much else to say, Fox’s “The Five” had no real choice but to go straight back to “The Squad” wants to “defund the police.”

Interestingly, Greg Gutfeld was supposed to be on The Five to promote his “comedy” show which would follow later in the night. But his show was canceled at last minute to air BREAKING NEWS about Minneapolis protestors violating curfew in the dark. Really.

But back to “The Five.” The Squad! That poor police getting defunded! And Greg Gutfeld has the feels for all the good cops! As reported by Crooks and Liars:

“I want to return to the boring part of this story because it’s the one thing that the media will not address. How does a society survive when 99.9999% of daily positive interactions are ignored but there is a tiny fraction of ugly and tragic events that are amplified and then warp our perception that somehow this is hunting season for Blacks and this is a truly racist society?” said Greg.

Yep, Greg Gutfeld sat on the network of Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi Fast and Furious Solyndra Uranium One Vince Foster Christmas card list tan suit Seth Rich baby Parts her emails Sidney Blumenthal secret lesbian the tarmac George Soros and Hunter Biden’s laptop and claimed that “amplifying events” warps reality.

And I dunno, Greg, one m*rder by cop in the same city when a trial for another murder by cop isn’t over yet? And both victims are Black and both cops are white? Maybe the “perception that somehow this is hunting season for Blacks” is something everyone should address.

Moreover, we are not willing to concede that 99.9999% of daily interactions with police are positive for American Black men. Whereas a white guy with a small joint between the seats might be told to throw it out, the Black man is going to jail for the same offense. Pretty white women can flirt their way out of a speeding ticket. Black men hope to survive. None of this is positive.

If anything, far from warping reality, the media may be underreporting the danger to Black men.
