I don't watch Fox

[tiredtoo]

Anyone know how they are spinning today's bullshit?

[emulatorloo]

1. Fox News headline: "Putin eats Trump's lunch in Helinski

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210879776


Fox News' John Roberts just said the summit will cost Trump dearly, politically

6. That is an op-ed by Doug Schoen, the Fox News token Democrat

The general vibe on Fox News is "Dems are fuming".

18. Fox News' John Roberts: 'Avalanche' of Feces is 'Rolling Downhill at Warp Speed' Towards Trump

20. Good to see that

Be curious to see what happens after Tucker/Hannity and the evening crew run their interference - followed by the smiling faces on Fox & Friends tomorrow morning.

[samnsara]

2. i just watch Shep...and he took no prisoners

3. Fox News headline (distributed to news services):

Putin eats Trump's lunch in Helsinki -- This is no way to win against Russia

For a sitting U.S. president to say publicly that he believes a foreign leader over his own intelligence team is shocking and admonishable. At a time when our democracy faces grave threats, it is deeply troubling that the president would side with the very country who attacked us.

NOT Fox News: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/putin-eats-trumps-lunch-in-helsinki-this-is-no-way-to-win-against-russia/ar-AAAaAcD

7. That is an op-ed by Doug Schoen, the Fox News token Democrat

Important to keep that in mind.

[yallerdawg]

13. Daily Beast followup headline (for news services):

Fox News Hosts Bash Trump’s ‘Disgusting’ Putin Presser

Neil Cavuto, Abby Huntsman, Trish Regan, and Stuart Varney—all normally friendly to Trump—found themselves among Fox hosts bashing the president’s deferential Putin summit.

15. Glad to hear that

I predict Fox News flips quickly back towards Trump boot-licking, beginning with Tucker, Hannity, and the evening crew - and carrying over to tomorrow morning Fox & Friends.

If I'm wrong, that would be amazing.

[donkeypoofed]

4. I can't wait to see what Hannity says ....

But I'll have to read about it or hear about it somewhere because I do not watch Faux News

[oberliner]

8. On Twitter Hannity is mocking Hillary, Rob Reiner, Ocasio-Cortez, and John Brennan

Clearly going with the "Democrats are acting hysterical over nothing" angle.

[Renew Deal]

17. Do you speak Russian?

[procon]

5. I was curious enough to find out for myself.

Cavato was the host, I don't know the guests, but they all seemed pretty much on the same page and being critical of Trump for siding with Putin over the USA. I was actually surprised.

[oberliner]

9. Things will change with Hannity and Tucker - and then the Fox&Friends morning crew

It will be about how hysterical the Democrats and "left-wing media" are acting.

[TrollBuster9090]

11. You're right. Even Fox didn't expect him to fck up THIS badly, and they hadn't prepared

they hadn't prepared their talking points. Basically, they used all their 'Trump is tougher on Russia than Obama was' talking points BEFORE the meeting. They're frantically writing new talking points for Hannity as we speak. So, they'll no doubt have a full-on tsunami of bullshit hitting their moronic audience, all the way from Tucker, to Hannity, to Ingraham, and then Fux and Fiends in the morning.

The House and Senate Republicans are having an emergency meeting about what to say, but they'll no-doubt get a memo from Fox on what to say. So, they'll all be on the same page.

Tomorrow will tell whether this is a tipping point or not.

But I would expect Bolton and Pompeio to stay well away from TV cameras for awhile. Somebody might ask them if they agree with Trump's stance.

[oberliner]

12. I predict they will go with: "no one has been tougher on Russia than Trump"

Look at his actions, much tougher than Obama, everyone is getting hysterical over nothing, blah blah blah.

[TrollBuster9090]

10. Aside from a few peeps of dissent, they're doing a full-on "whatabout Obama" today.

Whatabout Obama saying "Tell Vladimir I'll be more flexible after the election."
Whatabout Obama not bombing Syria after the RED LINE comment.
Whatabout Hillary wanting to do a RESET with Russia?
Whatabout how the LEFT used to LIKE Russia?

and...

Ooh! Despite is (pathetic) WORDS, Trump is actually much tougher on Russia than Obama was. ie-him selling anti-tank missiles to Ukraine (forgetting that his campaign originally took that policy out of the GOP platform at the convention; and only agreed to sell Ukraine arms in (secret) exchange for not expediting witnesses for the Manafort trial.

and OHH! LOOK AT THE LEFT WING MEDIA, and how THEY'RE reporting this!

Fox News seriously makes me want to vomit.

[oberliner]

14. Exactly

Well-summarized.

[LanternWaste]

16. Doesn't look promising for Trump.

A quick C&P from their website seems rather dramatic in its lack of blowing smoke up anyone's ass today.




Putin denies meddling as leaders tout summit as ‘success’

Russian woman linked to gun-rights groups is charged with acting as Russian agent in US

Russian charged with infiltrating US political organizations

Trump uses Putin summit to deny collusion with Russia

Trump trolled with 'traitor' tweet by Dictionary.com after Putin summit

The wink, the slouch -- the non-verbal cues at the summit

22. Their 5PM show is a different story

I watched the first ten minutes and pulled some quotes:

19. Just turned Fox on in time to hear Rand Paul spinning

the need to "avoid an accidental war" from "our planes are flying in the same air space" and thus he commended Trump for "taking this meeting."

Cavuto is now broaching the question of a compromised Trump for the clear purpose of double-teaming that idea into oblivion with Paul.

And I'm gone!

[oberliner]

21. He said much the same thing on CNN

[Hortensis]

23. CNN is Fox styled for a different audience these days.

Appalling. But at least we have a somewhat better idea who's working for whom these days.
