Podcast #197 - Fox News: Who's Your Daddy Greenland?

As Donald J. Trump damaged decades-long international relationships in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum, Fox News lauded him as a champion of American strength on the global stage.

Trump managed to insult all the former Allied powers in World War II multiple times then also disgraced the sacrifice of hundreds of fallen non-U.S. NATO soldiers who died in Afghanistan after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

Trump and his entourage were cartoonishly stereotypical of boorish Americans. His long rambling speech at the event was full of lies and exaggerations that centered on his accomplishments that were based in delusion more than reality.

When Trump wasn’t insulting our close long-term allies, he was demanding that Denmark hand over Greenland as if it was part of a real estate deal.

The network went all in on Trump’s reckless demands to conquer or purchase the Danish territory even though the U.S. has had a broad sweeping treaty with Denmark that allows the U.S. military to build un-limited bases on the mostly ice-covered island.

Fox also dedicated much of its airtime to the then escalating anti-ICE protests erupting across the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The network presented the demonstrations as an assault on beleaguered federal law enforcement.
