Rep. Eric Swalwell (C/G-CA) all but suggested United States military serving overseas should be barred from watching Fox News.
Swalwell made the comments speaking on MSNBC with host Katie Phang on Saturday. Suggesting that due to Fox News:
“…dis- and misinformation…we need to take a look
at how this is being broadcast to our troops.”
Phang asked Rep. Swalwell if there should be any sort of “congressional oversight, regulations, some type of gatekeeping” regarding Fox News, after Tucker Carlson aired previously never-before-seen footage from the events of January 6, 2021.
Fang said:
I’m wondering a lot about Americans and the disinformation and the misinformation that was pumped out of Fox News. Have there been any discussions in Congress about, maybe, congressional oversight, regulations, maybe the FCC getting involved?
Swalwell responded:
I don’t want to get into the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch.
But then he did exactly that:
[I]f you have a news station that a court is going to rule is, in its evening hour, perpetuating dis- and misinformation, I don’t know if I disagree with [those] saying that we need to take a look at how this is being broadcast to our troops.
The California democrat communist/globalist added, suggesting Congress could move to ban overseas troops from viewing Fox.
So I don’t think we are without complete recourse.
Seemingly threatening Fox News hosts, Swalwell noted:
I hope that’s an incentive for Fox News to clean up its evening hour, starting with Tucker Carlson and going late into the evening with Laura Ingraham.
They all spun and told these lies.
Final thoughts: And so the next step is taken—hiding the real stories of government corruption and mass propaganda media collusion from our overseas military forces.
Young Eric Swalwell—in collusion with the mass propaganda media—voices an accusation against Fox News. The result across America: Fox is guilty until they prove themselves innocent. Something is gravely wrong with this process, yes?
