Joy Subbing For Lawrence Played Some Fox News Clips On This Memo..... [View all]
They were just short soundbytes of Hannity and a few other talking heads on Fox. They were full of lies and mistruths - but they were very biting with respect to the Russian investigation, Mueller and Steele as well as the Dems in general.
Now we know who these Fox folk were directing their negativity to - Trump's base who are faithful followers of Fox News.
I never listen to Fox and I know from comments here on DU that many on this board don't tune in Fox either.
What I took out of Joy's playing these clips is that I could see how powerful Fox's message is to that base. If all I listened to was Fox - I can see the brainwashing effort they use on Fox's faithful followers.
In my opinion - though we can see how this memo was a dud as far as we're concerned - I can see how it served it's purpose for Trump's base. The Fox people uses it masterfully for that purpose and if you only get your news from Fox I can see how the Fox audience can think this investigation is a witch hunt and is worse than Watergate and anyone on the other side of Trump is committing treason.
This is pretty powerful stuff we're up against and no matter what Mueller and his team bring down on Trump - it won't be believed by these Fox viewer's. There will be fierce pushback.
