Don LEMON uses MY "Fox propaganda network" coinage!!!1 -- Mine's Faux Propaganda Network for years!

No, I can't claim that lowly little moi is a powerful *influencer*!1 But at the very minimum it might mean that he checks out DU, although my posts would be the most obscure parts of it anywhere. I'll just say that I have never-ever seen the Faux Propaganda Network usage anywhere, am hereby claiming my original coinage, haha!1 Am sure to reap billions, I say, *billions*!1 --- And while at it, I might as well claim *one* of my contributions to DU - the "K&R* thingy, which I hit upon upon realizing, years ago, that Recs without accompanying Posts in the thread did not deter the sinking-like-a-stone of threads. It's gratifying to see "K&R", you're welcome.

******But on to the grist, where the execrable F***er CARLSON, racistly maligns Don LEMON by saying that Blacks/minorities who don't know their place is in Section 8 housing shouldn't be lecturing America about race, and pronouncing his name as "la mone" throughout with the LIMBAUGH ridicule technique.

But speaking of propaganda, F***er comes by it in his genes, since his father is one Richard Warner CARLSON, who "is an American journalist and diplomat who served as the director of the Voice of America during the last six years of the Cold War. At the same time, he led Radio Marti broadcasting to Cuba, and was director of the U.S. Information Agency and the USIA Documentary Film Service. Carlson has also been a newspaper and wire service reporter, a magazine writer, a TV and radio correspondent and a documentary filmmaker. - Wikipedia".

While the Voice of America and the USIA serve U.S. idealist aspirations when operated in the best way by scrupulous Americans, they are undoubtedly forms of propaganda and in the wrong wingnut hands can be as nefarious as any others.

So. Some olde history: Richard used his propaganda skills when he falsely and secretly smeared, via DRUDGE, CLINTON operative Sid BLUMENTHAL as a wife beater. Repeating, it was *false*. So F***er has it in his genes.

Don Lemon Responds to Tucker Carlson Segment on His House: ‘Says Much More About You and Your Ignorance’

.... Lemon then cut to a clip of Carlson’s show from Monday, in which the Fox News host said of Lemon, “No, he does not live in Section 8 housing. He lives in one of the Whitest towns in America. In fact, 80%.”

“Section 8 housing,” said a disgusted Lemon. “Let me simply just say this. If you think that a Black person who doesn’t live in public housing can’t experience or understand racism in this country, well, that just says much more about you and your ignorance on these issues than it does about me.”

In the offending segment, Carlson repeatedly mispronounced Lemon’s name and took issue with a recent interview the CNN host gave to The Washington Post in which Lemon said, “We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people.” ....

Carlson described where Lemon lives to viewers and said, “He regularly lectures America about diversity. But what he didn’t tell The Washington Post, is that in his free time he runs away from diversity. His reality is that he doesn’t like diversity at all. None of them do.”
