Vicente Fox: "Fox News Is Trying To Make A President" Of Trump

Trump "Controls Media Here, You Know. You Know, Fox News Is 24 Hours, Giving Him The Push"

VICENTE FOX: Because [Donald Trump] controls media here, you know. You know, Fox News is 24 hours, giving him the push. In Mexico, we used to say Televisa, the number one station, makes presidents. In this case, Fox News is trying to make a president. That's not the way to go. We should be speaking about the challenges we have. We should have in democracy very happy campaigns. There should be music. There should be reasonable messages. Democracy is a feast, and here, it seems to be war. A call for war. Democracy is not that. Freedom is not that. The leadership of this nation is at risk in front of the whole of the world. I work with all the former presidents, former prime ministers, and we're all astonished. We say it is a nightmare. This cannot be the voice of that great nation. The nation that has led the world. The nation that works intensely for peace, and now he's blaming the government, past government, former government that they did not work for peace enough. Yeah, we have problems. We have ISIS, and this, but we must unite together to get rid of them. This is not the way to go

But not according to today's "conservatives," particularly those living in the white translucence of "The Bubble," free from the intellectual and emotional threats posed by inconvenient facts.
