Yet another recurring FOX News "expert" turns out to be a complete phony, fraud and liar. Wayne Simmons, who has been a FOX News "terrorism analyst" since 2002, claiming to have had more than two decades of experience working in clandestine operations for the CIA, who has had countless appearances and speaking engagements to pontificate on Benghazi, waterboarding and many other things, along with calling Obama "spineless" turns out to be a complete fraud - and now he's been arrested on a whole host of charges relating to all of the things this guy did leveraging his phony "CIA expertise" and may possibly serve up to 35 years.
http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/15/media/wayne-simmons-tv-commentator-arrested/ Apparently suspicions about his background and credentials had been raised by many outside of FOX for years, but FOX refused to act. Finally authorities were alerted, and the fraud was revealed. FOX has a long history of using questionable and dubious "experts" - many of whom have made up complete fictions, like the outrageous claim that the city of Birmingham in the UK is completely Islamic, and is an exclusion zone where non-Muslims were not allowed to enter. Lies and spin, lies and spin, but FOX doesn't question it, because it all plays to their agenda of deception and polarization. And even when the lies are exposed, they either double down and continue lying, or they just quietly divert to the next lie, with zero accountability. This needs to end. FOX needs to be held accountable. The lies have to stop. |

| Their first clue should have been when he put down "CIA Operative" on his resume, as a job title. |

If they are citing FOX News (and most of them are) then yes. Remember that study a little while back, that showed that FOX News viewers actually knew LESS factual information about what is going on in the world than people who don't watch TV news at all? |

| It's not a news outlet. It's is a business model. The fox viewers do not care about this. They just want to hear stuff that validates their worldview. |

How do you know they are citing Fox News? See, on here there is the constant assignation of Fox News as a source when in fact there is rarely, if ever, a citation proving that the person being attacked even watches FN or reads their website. The need for those of you on the other side of the conservative aisle to tie conservatives to FN is asinine. But, it's done over and over. So considering you added, most of them are, I call bullshit on that statement. Why? A recent poll said that 38% of Americans listed themselves as conservative while only 24% listed themselves as liberal. Since, according to last weeks poll, FN has an average of 2 million viewers...well...if you have any intelligence you can see the numbers problem. And if you are going to use the cited story on their so called expert as an indictment of conservatives then you leave yourself open to countless examples to condemn your ideological/political group. Both sides have way too much of a need to label the other and much to great an interest in political polarization. |

As do many, many, viewers of cable news networks. Fortunately only a small minority watch Fox, MSNBC, CNN and the like. |

How do I know? I laugh at you asking that. I regularly track FOX News. I also track Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Beck and others - and I see what goes on here as well as with numerous other message boards, and with one poster after another I often know exactly what they will post before they even post it, because I saw the same program - they usually even use the exact same language that was used in the program. On the message boards I track, I'll know that Keith X watches FOX, I'll know that Tim Y is into Glenn Beck, et cetera et cetera - even though they will try to protest and deny it - yet the patterns and trends are ever so glaringly obvious and predictable. It's always "oh, so-and-so is going to post about this tonight" and lo and behold, there it is. And, this has been going on for years, there are no "coincidences" nor is there any viable plausible deniability. Contrary to what right wing media keeps insisting, we aren't idiots, and in some cases it turns out we actually know you better than you know yourselves. As for your polls, consider that "liberal" has for years been a term that conservatives use to label their opponents, as opposed to it being a label that Democrats typically use on themselves. There's a pretty huge disconnect between what a conservative considers a "liberal" versus what a Democrat considers "liberal." Likewise, with regard to viewership, there's another huge disconnect - there's been plenty of analyses that show that conservatives are far more likely to get most of their TV news from only one source, whereas everyone else is far more likely to get their news from a whole variety of sources. For example, I know a lot of Democrats who don't even watch TV news - they get all of their news from online sources - Democrats are far more likely to seek out multiple sources that are independent from each other. Democrats are far more likely to be citing a whole variety of sources like BBC, Reuters, CSPAN et cetera, as opposed to getting the majority of their news by way of FOX plus the small echo chamber of right wing faux news like Breitbart. |
