CNN's Brian Stetler points out the damage done by Donald Trump's "Addiction to Fox News."

Courtesy of Mediaite:  

CNN’s Brian Stelter today opened by talking about how President Trump‘s “addiction to Fox” is having a lot of real-world consequences. 

He brought up the past week of big news on immigration and troops being sent to the border, following the President’s tweet after watching a segment on Fox News. 

“The line where Fox News ends and where Trump begins,” Stelter said, “is getting blurrier by the day.” 

He brought up the initial Fox News coverage, followed by the primetime coverage, of the migrant “caravan” as indicative of how Trump’s “addiction to Fox and to other pro-Trump commentators leads to impulsive actions.” 

Stelter said deploying the National Guard to the border is a “PR stunt” for a President who “wants to give his Fox friends something to celebrate.”

Very well said.

Donald Trump is addicted to fake news and conspiracy theories, and what better place to find them than Fox News?  (Well, besides Info Wars of course.)

If Trump were just an every day citizen this might be a pain in the ass to his family, but probably nothing more.

But as America's Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump can take the bullshit from Fox News and weaponize it to cause real harm to our country, and our country's allies.

      Life, Liberty & Levin, I interview Sarah Palin for the entire hour about numerous issues! Please join us on Fox -- again https://www.facebook.com/marklevinshow/posts/10156284892203832


      Fox allows Sarah back when she is back with another nutcase. Sarah Palin has her own news outlet. She pretends to be a jounrnlism graduate. Sarah is late reporting the Trump fire and death of a 67 year old man. https://i.imgflip.com/27yga7.jpg

      The cause of the fire is unclear. The large apartment (1,137-square-foot apt) was virtually entirely on fire. "quite a lot of furniture and quite a lot of fire load." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tower-fire-todd-brassner-victim/

    4. Why have we heard nothing about the man who died? Suspicious circumstances? Cover-up?

    Trump is like a bigoted RW Fox/ALex Jones et al. misinformed and angry troll who believes in a whole lot of conspiracy theories. He isn't very bright but he is vain and narcissistic. I'd peg him at between 5-7 emotionally.

    “I plan to [be cooperating],” he said. “We’re just setting out dates that I can actually go and sit down and meet with [them].”"
