For several weeks Fox News has been trying to stir up irrational fears among their xenophobic audience over the plight of refugees fleeing war and economic hardship in Syria and Iraq. To that end they have mounted a relentless campaign to slander the refugees as terrorists seeking to infiltrate Europe and the U.S. This propaganda blitz is based on nothing but invented tales of horror and racist speculation. But apparently those attempts to deceive their pre-rattled viewers were not sufficiently frightening.
Consequently, Fox News had to manufacture "evidence" of the doom that awaits any nation that shows empathy for the suffering refugees. So they enhanced their fictional narrative with video that was completely unrelated to the story. Of course, they've been caught doing that before. What makes it surprising this time is that it was revealed by John Oliver in an enlightening and hilarious episode of his HBO program "Last Week Tonight:" From the segment (video below):
Kristin Fisher: A new video has surfaced online showing why some are worried that Europe is opening its doors to potential terrorists. Those are reportedly Muslim refugees on a train in Europe chanting "Allahu akbar," or "God is great." Now to be clear, we're not saying that any of those people are terrorists or in any way affiliated with a terror group. But it does highlight just how many of these refugees who are fleeing violence in Iraq and Syria are Muslim.
John Oliver: OK, first, you don't get to claim that you're not calling those people terrorists when your lower third says "Terrorists Inbound." [It later changed to "Terrifying Chant"] If you are really not saying that they're terrorists, maybe change it to something more accurate like "People Take Train."
this guy is my tied favorite of Larry Wilmore not crazy about his profanity but his British accent and Jon Stewart like delivery are spot on. checkout the video language alert i tink he might beat out Bill Maher in the potty mouth category. don't forget the recent posting of their religious right and their contrived story and fake video canonizing the bigot Kim Davis not as advertised. oh and Fiorina's entry to the republican independent film festival.
