Is Vladimir Carson dishing out straight Russian propaganda on his Fox program?

Last night's episode on Ukraine's supposed bio-weapons facility sound like it was written in Moscow.

He tried to make it sound legit, but his assertions seemed hollow, comparing the study of biological agents into order to counteract them with actual biological weapons.

Or am I missing something?

How can Fox keep him on???

They make more money than they lose with him. He advances the right wing agenda.

Plain and simple. If what he was doing was not effective in bringing eyes to the screen and generating revenue, they would have canned him.

"After the State Department reconfirmed the existence of biological research laboratories in Ukraine and expressed concern Russia may seize them, far-right media accused the United States of both controlling the labs for nefarious purposes and orchestrating a false flag operation against Russia. In reality, the idea that these facilities are controversial, much less a threat to Russia, is a Kremlin-backed conspiracy theory."

And that's just the first paragraph!

And his mocking turn of the head, laugh, disingenuous smile, baleful droop of the eyes while he's having disgusting relations with his thesaurus, . . . all these seem like debating techniques taught in The Soviet Union.

(Hell, I can even hear him mocking this while writing it.)
