WATCH: Donald Trump and "The Snake" (PBS Frontline documentary)
PBS ^ | Oct. 17, 2019 | Patrice Taddonio

“I saved you, I saved you, I saved you,” cried that woman. “And you’ve bit me, heavens why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die.” “Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin. “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

Trump’s embrace of that comparison kicks off Zero Tolerance, a FRONTLINE documentary premiering Tuesday, Oct. 22, that investigates how the president turned anti-immigration fervor into a powerful political weapon. The film’s opening moments depict Trump’s use of “The Snake” in such a way that it’s never before been seen — juxtaposing the then-candidate’s reading with stark images of men, women and children struggling to reach the U.S.-Mexico border.

Anti-American propaganda.

Frontline did a hit piece on Rush some 20 or so years ago, too.

The usual Left propaganda? Did you see the other item on the site, the tears for the drug dealers in the Philippines?

“how the president turned anti-immigration fervor”

I see the left still can’t tell the difference between illegal aliens and legal immigrants.

I saw the headline, and had hoped that there would be video of Kenny Stabler interviewing the president.

Being from Alabama, that’s what I thought too....Kenny always had view on things.

One of my all time favorite chauvinist songs.

One more reason to defund PBS.

PBS is defended by a stone wall with sand bags and concertina wire behind two minefields. It ca not be defunded

The way to attack public TV is through the states, the governors. Virtually all PBS stations are state owned and operated

Anti-American propaganda funded by the American taxpayer. “More than a dozen WGBH honchos at PBS’ taxpayer-subsidized flagship station are raking in upwards of $200,000 a year while toiling in the lap of a luxurious $85 million multimedia palace dubbed the “Taj Mahal” that boasts a 200-seat amphitheater, state-of-the-art recording studio and Hamburg-Steinway grand piano.” The peasants need to be silenced!

The comparison is apt, insofar as tolerating border violators / criminal invaders is tantamount to inviting a snake into your home!

These FRONTLINE ‘documentaries’ are nothing but blatant and intentional lies from start to finish. I’m paraphrasing, but their ‘documentary’ on the 1992 election had the following: “After Bill Clinton took office the deep recession that had been plaguing the nation showed no signs of abating.” Really? The one that had ended a year prior? And the most recent quarter for Clinton took office had growth of over 3%? That recession that had no sign of abating? That recession was very mild and was fleeting...over long before the 1992 election - its continuation and its severity was a creation of the media, not that of reality.

Snakes are venomous, not poisonous.

Right, like anybody should watch or take seriously anything they see or hear on PBS. This is part of the psyop being run against we the people.
