Scarborough: Fox News “Fomenting Constitutional Crisis” that “Could Lead to Violence”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/18/2017 4:28:45 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough prefaced his statement by saying that he’d stayed away from criticizing Fox News, but then proceeded to unload—big time—on his network’s competitor:

“Fox News, they are fomenting a constitutional crisis by suggesting to people watching Fox News in Middle America that somebody is attempting a coup: a coup against our government . . . What they are doing could lead to violence, and what they are doing is about as deeply irresponsible as anything I’ve ever seen.”

The left has a problem with cause and effect. Fox is reporting on a government coup attempt. They are reporting. Not fomenting.

What happens is that their mega merger media deal doesn’t go through.

IT’S OK for ATT to buy entertainment content, but too much concentration of power for them to buy a major propaganda outlet in their Time Warner merger. Or, at least that’s what I’d say if I was Trump.

A lot of influential people do, including President Trump. That’s why I think it’s worth monitoring and reporting on.

Only he, who is blinded by the coup, would protest. PMSNBC is a substantial part of it!

Now that it is clear a coup has and continues to take place in our government, Morning Joke claims it is irresponsible to report on it because it could lead to violence. Morning Joke does not disappoint as MSM's prime joker. He knows he is part of the coup cover up and he is starting to worry now, saying the answer is to cap it and not report that the Executive Branch was weaponized by our LE and Intelligence institutions against the American people.

Joe prefers to keep the dirt under the rug.

Of course, the crap they pull can NEVER lead to violence, right?

Meanwhile Scarborough has been pumping up Mueller and this bogus Russian conspiracy of which there is no evidence. And he calls Fox “irresponsible “
Chutzpah.

Who watches this idiot? Precisely my question. Joe Scarborough is a very stupid man engaged to a very stupid woman, and both express opinions that are thoughtless and not grounded in reality.

We just watched a year or more of nearly continuous violence against police and unwitting shop owners ...in which the violent were egged on by both the Obama admin and the media. They burned the downtown of Ferguson Missouri, chased speakers from podiums, disrupted plays, sports events and shoppers.
