A Belgian newspaper mocks Fox News :-)))

From "La Libre Belgique" (we shorten to "La Libre" ) I translated the entire article.

Quand Fox News parle de Donald Trump comme la télévision d'État nord-coréenne parle de Kim Jong Un (VIDEO)
http://www.lalibre.be/actu/international/quand-fox-news-parle-de-donald-trump-comme-la-television-d-etat-nord-coreenne-parle-de-kim-jong-un-video-5b2cadf15532a2968899cffe


When Fox News talks about Donald Trump the way North Korean state television does about Kim Jong Un...

Fox News or North Korean television?
This game could be based on a collection of journalists' comments made following the meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Dong Jun in Singapore on June 12.

Back in their respective countries, Trump and Kim were truly carried as heroes on their respective television channels: the state television for Kim, Fox News for Trump. Excerpts.

"President Trump did what no other president ever had the vision or the courage to try." (Fox News on Trump)
" With our venerable and supreme leader's intelligence and courage, the world can now witness the pinnacle of peace around the world and of this crucial moment for humanity." (North Korean state television on Kim Jong Un)

"A few days ago, President Trump ushered a new diplomatic era." (Fox News on Trump)
"Our venerable and supreme leader initiated a triumphant diplomatic era." (North Korean state television on Kim Jong Un)

" This is something many analysts and commentators thought was totally impossible." (Fox News on Trump)
" Who could have thought this moment would be impossible?" (North Korean state television on Kim Jong Un)

" The ongoing success our President has achieved on every project, whether it is domestic, international, trade or foreign policy, President Trump is now standing greater than ever on the world stage." (Fox News on Trump)
"Our venerable State leader, whose leadership has been witnessed worldwide, is a hero universally admired." (North Korean state television on Kim Jong Un)

"Donald Trump has different instincts than ours, but most of the time, 99% of the time, they're better than ours." (Fox News on Trump)
" We have an exceptional President who is respected all over the world, a great man one only meets once in a lifetime as Leader." (North Korean state television on Kim Jong Un)

"We just can't understand Donald Trump's genius. Our president fears no one." (Fox News on Trump)


The editing highlights how Donald Trump is portrayed and narrated by Fox News, an openly conservative channel which boasts the most viewed in the United States.

Fox News' impact was previously noticed during Donald Trump's November 2016 election and now seems to provide after-sales service.

And I really can't understand why anyone would hire that miserable Jeanine Pirro! She has an awful voice that's tough to listen to - and she had a brief failed campaign against my New York senator - Hillary Clinton!


Fox News vs. North Korean State TV



Side by side, Fox News’s and North Korean State TV’s reverence for their countries’ respective leaders is pretty telling.

I couldn't embed the video joigned to the article.

I saw it was from the Daily Show, but I was too lazy to pick it on Youtube.

I sent the link to all my contacts.

And I think your video is longer than the clip from The Daily Show. I regularly try to post the late night comedians here on DU. When the news kept getting worse, I started tuning in for the monologues (funny part) and then I decided that my fellow DUers - many of whom don't stay up as late as I do or don't have TV - could use some humor these days, too!
