How is Murdoch playing this one?

So, Fox News is running interviews now in which the latest White House spokes-liar is throwing out the quasi-deniability line for Trump re QAnon, while running on the split screen the actual beliefs of QAnon:



Is this an attempt by Fox News to message to Trump that, no, it would be best if he did actually disavow QAnon?   Or an attempt to gain more Trump base following for QAnon - because, let's face it, brainwashing the disenchanted-with-life-white-elderly is the raison d'etre for the network, and why stop at things like "Russiagate is a hoax"?

What will pathetic Trump Cultists like puzzled dog face Tucker Carlson and smarmlord Sean Hanitty do about this tricky problem?   Keep pushing that of course their ticket to riches doesn't know what QAnon is about, despite other parts of the network running stories like the above?

Time will tell.

the idea that rump does not know about qanon is laughable

Never heard of QANON and seeing those clips was another reason why I think politics has gone over the edge and beyond recovery.

John, a good background on the nutty QAnon conspiracy is in The Atlantic:

But yes: the Republican Party has started endorsing candidates who believe in it.

So what exactly is particularly wrong with QANON Steve? Your attitude is a bit of a mystery. Is the kid doing terrible terrible things because he disagrees with you? See he disagrees with me also. Because he is wildly optimistic about the idea that Trump might be doing all these good things on the sly, When we see Trump betraying the United States for a miserable little country right out there in the open. We see Trump murdering the greatest anti-terrorist in the modern era .... on a peace mission. We see Trump bombing Syria over a false flag attack. We see Trump allowing the public to be looted in a horrific bailout. So clearly I disagree with Q Anon, but I don't think that him having different ideas from myself as really blog-worthy. Its not a big worry.

We need to dig down into this deep problem you seem to have with this fellow. I don't understand? What could be your problem here?

You could start with going over the four points listed. Which one of the four points do you disagree with? Why? Is your disagreement faith-based? Do you know more about the subject than Q-Anon does?

See we need to get to the bottom of it why you think someone who disagrees with you is such a problem. Particularly as its not an argument over whether first-borns should be killed or not. Or something else that goes directly against your interests. Your disagreements with QANON don't appear to be anything that ought to be material to you.

Its a fact that Russiagate was a hoax. Russiagate was a baseless conspiracy theory.

"What will pathetic Trump Cultists like puzzled dog face Tucker Carlson and smarmlord Sean Hanitty do about this tricky problem?"

You have not come up with a problem. There is no problem.

"But yes: the Republican Party has started endorsing candidates who believe in it."

No thats a lie. You cannot name anyone who believes everything exactly the same as QAnon. You do not have that gift of second sight. Have you don't some newfangled brain scan on someone?

Surely if you are venting in public like this we would need to know why you feel this is a problem? Gordon Duff calls this interesting young fellow "a serial fabricator" but his associate Mike Harris doesn't disagree outright with Gordon but finds the fellow quite intriguing, having interviewed him up close. There was one girl on Catallaxy that just tended to parrot every QAnon alleged insight and people thought she was a bit nutty but you know ... not that big a problem. Nothing to fret about.

So what is going on with Steve? I think the problem is with Steve.
