Fox News Discovers 'Extremism' After UK PM Praises Activist
The story fixates on 'extremist' tweets from a human rights defender, conveniently overlooking the years Abd El-Fattah spent imprisoned by a military regime in Egypt—a regime that has received billions in U.S. and UK aid despite its abysmal human rights record. Funny how 'extremism' is only 'extreme' when it threatens the comfortable narrative, not when it challenges autocratic allies. (Or when it
criticizes Israel, for that matter.) The media's selective outrage paints a stark picture: criticizing despots is 'treasonous,' but arming them is just 'foreign policy.' This isn't a counter-terror probe; it's a character assassination designed to silence dissent and maintain geopolitical alignments favored by outlets like Fox News and the governments they support.
