Scarborough's Odd Fantasy: Trump Brought Down by a Fox News 'Cronkite Moment'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/01/2019 9:19:29 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough turns his lonely eyes... to Fox News??

Looks that way. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough dreamed of a scenario in which Fox News would turn against President Trump, thus bringing down his presidency. Scarborough analogized it to a "Cronkite moment." That was the time in 1968 when CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite essentially declared the Vietnam War unwinnable. LBJ was reported to have said at the time, “if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”

The MSM’s envy of Fox’s success is so deep that it colors their work more than the direct disdain for Republicans.

When you know the deep state has captured Fox News as Scarborough starts framing the narrative.

Though you’d think he’d start with Drudge...

Cronkite was famous by lying about the Tet offensive.

Banjo Boy loves a good liar.

More people at FoxNews gave money to Hillary than Trump last time.

The only folks who think Fox is conservative are liberals... in fact most of FoxNews night is conservative - the rest of it is pretty liberal...

"Cronkite was famous by lying about the Tet offensive."

Yup. As I've said many times, if it weren't for Conkite lying about the US winning the Tet Offensive and the supporting Hippie movement, General Giap would have surrendered back then. He admits that in his own memoir book.

58,000 American lives lost because of him and LBJ and McNamara micro-managing that war. Many more were maimed and/or lost their souls. Many never recovered and now on the streets of every city skid row.

More yippies than hippies

Hippies were more apolitically

Turn on drop out

Yippies were the ones who were marching at colleges and causing mayhem and so on

In 1972 the youth vote supported Nixon 60%

About same as youth vote today supported Obama twice and Hillary

It’s a common notion that kids in the 60s and 70s were all liberals

It’s not true.

Boomer kids were far more conservative than any youth generation since

The main thing about Boomer youth is there were so damn many

Half the population was under 25

Today half the population is under 40

Of 210 million folks in 1972, almost 95 million were 21 or under

That’s just hard to fathom isn’t it

It was a great time to grow up

The bubble these yahoos live in is impervious to truth and facts.

We won every battle in that war.

Media et al propaganda lost it for us and anticommunism.

I’ve got it that nearly all 24/7 media personalities are CIA folks.

Never forget the admission to operation mockingbird and enjoy your viewing of scripted moments of unimportant nonsense blended with just a touch of news.
