Steve Bannon vows to bring down Fox News as right-wing media war escalates

[winetourdriver01]

Right-wing podcaster and convicted criminal Steve Bannon on Friday vowed to take down Fox News during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

In an interview with CNN's Alayna Treene, Bannon vowed to attack Fox News during a speech at the Conservative Political Conference for its supposed disloyalty to former President Donald Trump.

"The Murdochs have decided that Trump is not going to be President of the United States," said Bannon. "Well, we've decided that Fox is not going to be a major network anymore."

4. I'm Down With THat

there's been so much talk of a civil war lately but the sides are not dems/cons but cons/their crazies

[brush]

5. I love watching this schism of wingers, but Bannon is all talk.

And isn't he schedule to go back to jail soon?

6. Have at it steve.

the enemy of my enemy....

[gratuitous]

7. Vultures ragging each other over the carcass of the goose that laid the golden eggs

So smart! Instead of waiting day by day for the goose to lay its golden egg, they cut it open so they could get all the eggs at once. Then they figured out what they'd done. Now Bannon and Fox and One Noxious American Now (ONAN) and CPAC and all the rest of them are snapping at each other, trying to pick the last of the meat off the desiccated bones. Sad!

19. A vulture will eat until it falls over... Then if it falls with its head close enough

to the carcas. it will continue to eat.
Bannon and Trump have been in training for the event as you can tell by their physiques.

8. Now THAT'S popcorn-worthy....

9. Having no respect for either, I would bet on Fox.

[Paladin]

10. Get after it, Bannon. Take no prisoners.

Amazing how easy it is to back a prick like Bannon, when he decides to do something genuinely worthwhile.

[Silent3]

11. Huh. Maybe the fact that Fox has been lying to its viewers will get out to them...

...in a fashion, via internal backstabbing among these fascists.

Of course, I imagine most wingnuts will take this to mean that the 2020 election was stolen, but too many people inside Fox weren't "loyal" enough to know the "truth" themselves, and were just faking being on the "right" side.

[Faux pas]

12. Yeah Sure Ya Betcha

I'm sure faux is shaking in their boots Otis.

when they eat their own!

16. He Says It Like It's A Bad Thing

Problem is, this criminal doesn't have the clout he thinks he does.
95% of the population has no idea who he is, and half the other 5% hates him.

[Boomerproud]

21. Ignorance or indifference is no excuse for allowing Bannon and his ilk

to achieve such influence over the body politic. Especially shame on the media for not exposing the perfidy. He's neither bright nor shiney so someone needs to explain the "appeal".

[DBoon]

25. reality has never been a problem for the right wing before

why should they start respecting it now?

[lame54]

17. Sounds like he is trying to take credit...

For something that is already happening

How very Trump of him

Fox News, as destroyer of democracy....Their day has arrived.

22. Let's Go Bannon! You and Murdoch. Revolvers at 5 paces.

With my rotten luck, you'd both miss.

Still eat their own the same...

24. Only if he blabs something real good to the DoJ. Otherwise,

this is probably just more of the far-right media scrabbling for audience share in an era when viewers can click away from Fox to OAN or Newsmax, or off to another medium entirely, whenever one displeases.

Dark humor to watch, but if only Fox could actually be brought down...
