Fox Tries To Make United Healthcare Murder About Migrant Crime
You know the propaganda came from the top in this case because even MAGA mouthpiece and Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner acknowledged there’s no connection “naturally” between the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the “immigration crisis.”
But, as the video from Media Matters shows, that didn’t stop Faulkner from making the connection anyway.
Faulkner knew her job was not to provide information but political propaganda. So, she added, “it makes the work harder for NYPD because they're already dealing with a rampant crime uptick from those individuals who broke our first law, coming here illegally.”
The choice of guests also speaks volumes. Instead of any actual police officer, who probably would have dismissed the theory, two more MAGA mouthpieces were booked to legitimize it.
First up, Dr. Darrin Porcher, who retired from the NYPD in 2011, according to his LinkedIn profile, and now works as an expert witness, consultant and media commentator. He also teaches “an assortment of criminal justice courses to undergraduate students.” Not exactly a cop or detective handicapped in solving serious crimes because of migrants.
