Showing Original Post only (View all)Admiral Pulls Plug on Fox News [View all]
As the commander of military forces in E Africa, I asked the American Forces Network (TV) to replace Fox news during meal hours. Why? Because they were inimical to America's outreach overseas. Put troops in jeopardy. Made my job harder. And they now have accomplices.
Without Fox, Trump would be a bungling celebrity who foolishly/laughably ran for president. Real-time reckoning of lies need real-time litigation. There is such a thing as gross distortions of fact and purveyors of such must pay a debilitating price.

Thank you! The use of present tense in the title really changes the meaning of this thread.
