NEW from me for @mmfa.bsky.social:
Right-wing and right-leaning online shows have earned millions of views platforming Fuentes, and some right-wing media figures praise Fuentes’ rhetorical skills and “aura” while others call him a “nutjob” and “raging racist”
Right-wing media hawks know that criticizing Trump directly could trigger an audience revolt. The result is a pathetic effort to blame the Iran MOU’s contents on J.D. Vance instead.
Ben Shapiro on Fox News: "This MOU appears to be, just from the text, a disaster. This does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that was set by the administration at the beginning."
"In my opinion ... the VP, the chief negotiator on this particular project, has not well served the president"
Right-wing media figures, especially in Murdoch world, are furious at the MOU between the US and Iran. A Fox contributor said: "This doesn't feel like a victory."
No, no it doesn't, because it isn't.
On his radio show, Sean Hannity says that he spoke with Trump and that he doesn't think the president has even seen the memorandum of understanding www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...
The MOU is so bad that Fox's Brian Kilmeade thinks Trump is being bamboozled by those around him
“I'm just wondering if the people that negotiated this have informed the president about what's in the page and a half he's going to read publicly on Friday”
😂😅

Right-wing hawks are embarked on a truly pathetic effort to blame the MOU’s contents on Vance, while absolving Trump of responsibility for the document that he signed and publicly describes as “a very strong deal.” www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...
Fox's Kilmeade: "It doesn't look like Iran was brought to it's knees ... it seems like Iran got a lot out of it ... maybe the president wasn't expecting, because he has enough plates in the air he can't be in every detail... maybe VP wasn't the right person to bring this conflict to an end"
Kilmeade: "It's not acceptable for anyone that wants to make sure they [Iran] don't have a nuclear weapon."
Right-wing media figures are split on Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier who has recently achieved growing influence in Republican politics and within the right-wing media...
