Remarkable how shook Fox is by the footage of Trump wearing a tacky campaign hat to a dignified transfer

The first person to be tried and executed for War Crimes should be Rupert Murdoch! We can only hope that like Goebbels he ends himself a day after his Grotesque Orange Dictator goes!

Leavitt, telling CNN’s Collins, "We expect you to cover that as you should, Kaitlan, but you and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad". Luckily Leavitt reminded CNN to cover Trump making himself look bad.

It's because Faux News & Murdoch HATE Trump but controlled him until February 20th. Now they're pretending to support Trump whilst waiting for Trump to lose all influence... but they will lose influence before Trump does since they are more hated than Trump, & thus they will join the #Resistance.

"The apology didn’t sit well with some critics. “If any other network did this it would be a huge scandal, Fox would lead the chorus of criticisms and faux-outrage, and people would lose their jobs,” said Mehdi Hasan, founder of ... Zeteo." apnews.com/article/base... @dbauder.bsky.social

This surprised me because I didn't expect any Germans to give a shit about this incident.

Es gibt in den USA eine einfache Regel, die niemand und unter keinen Umständen jemals brechen darf. Politiker auf gar keinen Fall oder gar, so etwas darf man nicht mal denken, der Präsident und Commander in Chief. Wenn Särge toter Soldaten vorbei kommen, ZIEHST DU DEINEN GOTTVERDAMMTEN HUT AUS!!!

was watching KTLA which is owned by nexstar and their footage also completely excludes trump & is immediately followed by footage of him from last night saying the war is totally necessary because they were going to attack us

I’m a fellow SoCal news viewer, and there is absolutely no local news to watch anymore that doesn’t seem to be trump administration propaganda, or they just skirt around the truth because they are afraid of him.

Another human interest story. Fox News’ hosts aren’t known for reporting about anything in a compassionate or respectful manner —unless there’s some type of payoff. The payoff here: make sure that they don’t get a call from their Supreme Leader, DJ Trump.

What's worse, is that an an American President, who should known better, showed a lack of respect and decorum that has deprived those fallen soldiers and their families of REAL footage covering their, not others', dignified transfer.

Can someone leak what was said in the Fox newsroom? Be honest, put it out there. Were they mocking Trump behind the scenes, cursing him out. while on screen, trying to portray him as a saint? I want to hear/read the behind-the-scenes conversations!

They won’t say a damn thing about murdering people in US streets, sending troops to an illegal war, murdering innocent Iranians, Israel’s 🍉Gcide, but at least they have a boundary. It is disgusting behavior for a president in this moment, however. Glad they stand on something.

People look at you funny if you don’t take your hat off for the National anthem at a high school baseball game and this guy wears it during a “dignified” transfer of troops. And his supporters don’t even blink.

To be fair to trump - words I never thought I'd write - he has zero idea what "dignified" means. Dollars to big macs the guy is thinking how lucky the remains are to have him, trump, be there to salute.

"We won't show the footage at all - we'll show older footage and lie." … "OK, we'll apologize for the 'mistake," but instead of showing the new footage we'll just read aloud the names of the dead." … "OK, we'll show the new footage & crop out Trump in his stupid hat, saluting like he's drunk."

State funerals and dignified transfers are meant to center the fallen, not a politician’s branding exercise. When a network edits around a campaign hat instead of addressing the breach of decorum, it reveals the real priority: protecting an image, not honoring service.

Easy to understand when a network’s deepest thoughts only include clutching their pearls and doing nonstop coverage when a transgender person uses a restroom but when school kids are shot down, they ignore it.

Trump made Biden's "disrespect" (looking at his watch) a central theme of his campaign. And Fox knows full well they would have pilloried Biden or Obama for greeting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

When you can't trust Fox news ... oh, hang on: "WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Fox News agreed Tuesday to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election." 🤷‍♂️

What about the other hundreds of American soldiers that have died in this illegal war? No dignified transfers for them? They will be secretly moved about and their service and existence denied?

As tacky as it was it is in no way surprising. What is truly shocking is that there is not a single person around the POTUS that is capable of advising him that wearing a stupid tacky campaign hat to a dignified transfer is something he absolutely should not do.

There may be a reason he wore the hat. It's common knowledge that he enjoys death and destruction. Six bodies may have been too much for him, and the hat was to remind himself not to pleasure himself in public.

Meanwhile there is #NothingDignified about the #OrangePedo #WarCriminal #DonaldTrump wearing a #BaseballCap as his #Troops who died for his #illiegalWar are returned to America. Which is ruining the entire #global #economy With No #Congressional or #UnitedNations Mandate. bsky.app/profile/cnn....

The families of the six US Army Reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait watched as their loved ones returned to the US during a dignified transfer on Saturday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The US is engaged in a war of aggression with the goal being death & destruction, a war of annihilation. They aren’t even targeting the regime but Iran’s civilians; they are destroying oil infrastructure and desalination plants needed to rebuild the country & for basic survival.

To try to hide Trump’s disgrace, by showing old transfer footage until they were caught, really shows the disgusting limits Fox will go to protect the orange toddler with the tacky ball cap.

Honestly when I saw him walk off the plane with it I thought holy shit is he going to give merch to grieving families but then it somehow got worse.

Trump will lash out at Fox News for not letting him know that they had this stock footage. He would have just stayed back at Mar-A-Lago and played another round of golf instead of wasting time on the tarmac for ‘losers and suckers.’

They understand their audience, they’re emotional investment in bunting and war marches is matched only by their feelings for deportations and imperialism.

If #trumpepstein is there, dignity is not. Respect 🫡 to the fallen. Y’all should still be alive. This 9/11 vet is disgusted we haven’t learned from the mistakes we made. Not even a terrorist attack to get our rage up. Just being lead by the nose by Bibi. The old 🇮🇱 trope* is true this time.

*the trope that Israel secretly tells 🇺🇸 what to do. The antisemitic “Jews secretly run the world”. The problem now is that Rubio said “Israel was gonna attack & Iran would retaliate, so that’s the imminent threat justifying our involvement in this war.”

After the big deal they made about football players kneeling for the national anthem and Obama’s salute while holding a coffee cup, they can’t show it while tongue-bathing Dear Leader without the possibility of creating a lot of uncomfortable cognitive dissonance in their viewers.

As a vet I prefer a salute or stand to vs hand over heart #trumpepstein does it for the cameras. He had his chance to join. Many ppl are saying he’s a 5x draft dodger. In hindsight, I think the Vietnam boys dodged the proverbial bullet bc no way should he be trusted with a loaded firearm.

The only comment by any future Democrat or true American for that matter when some conservative idiot criticizes what a Democrat is wearing or says is a short, concise, "Fuck off."

I somehow missed that this is always called a dignified transfer. I thought “dignified” was used by media as assurance that Trump’s people were going to keep him quiet so he wouldn’t make a mockery of the ceremony w demented ramblings.

Why was Fox News so shocked that Trump wore a tacky 'USA' campaign cap during the handover ceremony for fallen soldiers? They first aired old footage (without the cap) to cover up the embarrassment, only apologising for the 'blunder' after being caught out.

That’s pretty funny. We should all cut him out of every article and picture. Will drive him crazy. Would be a real shame if he popped a blood vessel in his head during one of his meltdowns.

Regardless of its originally planned dignity, any event attended by CSO Trump is, automatically and by reason of CSO Trump’s attendance, rendered undignified. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Then they should be even more shaken by this footage, not that it will ever see the light of day on Fox. bsky.app/profile/bell...

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Because on military tv they play Fox News only. That is my guess. Fox News knows its audience. And they knew they had to cover it up immediately. Trump does not respect the military and this proves it. And Fox News knows it.

The dipshit in chief was probably trying to avoid another wind issue highlighting his ridiculous hair and Fox just used that same footage 😂 (He wasn’t wearing the hat when he disembarked the plane-adding the hat for the actual transfer was an intentional decision)

I would genuinely love to know why Trump wore the ball cap. His hair fell out? Miscoloured? Stupidity? Arrogance? I really cannot imagine what went through his "mind"

Reminds of the joke: ‘What’s the first thing to go through a fly’s mind when it his a windscreen at 80 mph?” It’s arsehole. Which, unbelievably, just about sums up Trump.
