The regularity with which Fox News disseminates wholly fabricated fantasies on behalf of their Republican benefactors has been a hallmark of their so-called “journalism”<\/em> from its inception thirty years ago.<\/p>\n

And Trump’s deceit has grown exponentially with regard to his reckless and illegal war against Iran.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, bragging about his imaginary successes in his Middle East misadventures. He said that…<\/p>\n

“19 Million Barrels of Oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time RECORD. Oil prices are tumbling down, and the World is a much safer place!!!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Virtually everything in that comment is untrue. Oil prices are still much higher than they were before the war. The oil is not flowing smoothly through the Hormuz Strait. And the world is hardly safer with Iran getting billions of dollars as a result of Trump’s “peace deal”<\/em> that they are free to spend on new military equipment and funding for terrorists groups, but with few concessions on their part.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Trump posted that comment, Fox News reported it on their X\/Twitter account. They prefaced it by saying that “Trump is celebrating what he says was a record day for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.”<\/em><\/p>\n
