Fox News freaking out about a thin-skinned nationalist autocrat who hates the press.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/fox-news-already-freaking-thin-skinned-autocrat-socialist-poised-win-mexican-presidency/

Fox News is already freaking out about the man who is expected to become the new president of Mexico, a socialist and nationalist who had pledged to aggressively clean up the country’s corruption.

...

He is a nationalist. He says outrageous things to grab headlines but he has a thin skin when it comes to the press,” La Jeunesse said. “Critics call him a defiant autocrat and a socialist who will turn Mexico into the next Venezuela. Supporters see Obrador as an outsider, an incorruptible outsider.”




An outrageous, thin-skinned autocrat? Pass the smelling-salts! The US would never stand for that!

Such hypocrites, and unless someone points it out to them they won't realize that they described Trump to a "T".

much what people think of him and he is the one who is supporting this fascism. We need to go directly after him and the Murdoch family, not Fox.

Corruption has now come to America in a tsunami. Corruption is the word that should be on everyone's lips. Folks hate corruption and understand the word....ever hear Fox use the word?

Can they really not see who they are? Or who their leader is? The hypocrisy is astounding.
