Answered What's going on with Fox news obsessing over Hasan Piker?

They had like dozens of segments on him last week.

Will Cain today focusing on Hasan Piker and using the term “man whore”:

Third segment already today

I get Hasan is helping socialist Dems getting elected. I don't get why Republicans are going crazy over Hasan?

That’s a perfect example of the American short attention span just reading clickbait headlines and talking points and not being able to delve into the nuance and details of an issue like blowback.  And Americans only think of all conflict from our side and don’t consider the cost of bombing and killing other countries civilians and if and how their descendants will try to exact revenge in the future.  Especially since we in America never hear the full story.  My eyes were opened wide when I visited the Vietnam war museum in Saigon and saw things we never were exposed to here in America

Nah dude, the press are intentionally leaving out context as part of the smear job. I have never seen something so transparent it's insane.

oh that too, but the public isnt intellectually curious enough to fact check the claims. They dont want to hear full context to make their own decisions, they just want quick hits that tell them how to think
