Brian Williams: Get Rid of Fox News on Military Bases?
Alex Christy
June 27th, 2021 7:00 PM

On Friday's edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Brian Williams seemed to suggest that Fox News be banned from military bases because Tucker Carlson responded to Gen. Mark Milley's recent defense of Critical Race Theory by declaring "He’s not just a pig. He’s stupid." Later, Williams tried to tie concerns about CRT in the military to Vladimir Putin.

Addressing the nominally conservative Charlie Sykes, Williams lamented that "Fox News is on and virtually every mess hall and lounge in military bases foreign and domestic. So think about it, through the ranks they are going to hear Fox News refer to the chairman of the joint chiefs as a stupid pig."

While I doubt Williams' claim, he seems incapable of understanding that military personnel make their own choices - of what they view/hear, and what they believe of what they view/hear.

I am sure that it was Tuckers response to Milley's CRT statement, here's the part that probably got Williams's panties in twist "He’s not just a pig. He’s stupid."  :silly:

I'm sure the biggest problem for Williams is that he like all the media left believe that they are the only ones who can make derogatory statements and those against conservatives and republicans. How dare Tucker say something derogatory about one of the lefts, for now, protected.

When we get rid of CNN in airports.

They are gone. CNN was paying for the placement but they are burning cash like Biden on a Covid money give-A-Way so the pulled the plug.

I remember when the Libs were constantly trying to ban Rush from AFN.

And especially stateside...I'd like to know how Brian the Liar proposes banning Fox News from military installations since the local cable providers are in the homes and you can put up a dish as well.

Is that by users' choices or from base PTBs?

If the servicemen don't agree, they can stop watching.  Every one of them knows Gen. Milley is a politician back in DC.
