Another DU thread about the spin: WTF?! Fox News Sewer CAUGHT FAKING PARADE Footage on LIVE TV

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Cheung is another Baghdad Bob - he might be even worse than the Minister of Information,

Baghdad Barbie Leavitt. While she lies unabashedly, he lies unabashedly with florid exaggeration and vitriol. This bit reminds me of Sean Spicer lying out his ass about the 2017 inauguration crowd, only worse.

3. Steven Cheung was the UFC's (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Director of Communications for Public Affairs

before becoming Trump's White House Communications Director. Trump only hires the best and most qualified people.

4. Baghdad Bob rides again...

Either that or someone is angling for a paraody on SNL this fall... WTF is the top requirement to be a spox for that fool, total lack of integrity or willingness to utterly debase yourself with a straight face or both?
