This is what passes for news on Fox. Reporting what one of their opinion commentators has said. Go to fox’s website and see just how many of their “news” articles fall into this category.
In that article is a quote from Tucker that is a typical example of what I’m saying about conservative propagandists assigning ideas/positions/attitudes to progressives:
“If you are wondering why so many progressives are mourning Bolton’s firing tonight, it’s because Bolton himself fundamentally was a man of the left.”
First, if ever there was a man who was NOT of the left, it was John Bolton. And for Tucker to even try to sell that outrageously ridiculous notion shows just how little he thinks of his audience (and not without justification).
More to my point: So many progressives are mourning Bolton’s firing? Are you fucking kidding me?
He made that up. He flat out made that up. Progressives in general are not mourning John Bolton’s firing (and if any of them are, which I doubt, it is certainly not because Bolton was a “man of the left”). This happens thousands of times a day throughout the right-wing propaganda machine. Propagandists lie to their marks about what progressives think. And conservatives fall for it over and over again.
