Latin Times: Fox News Accused of Adding Fake Applause During Trump Parade Live Stream: ‘They Had to Help Him Out’

“Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event,” wrote one user

Social media users are ridiculing President Donald Trump and FOX News Channel after the network was accused of adding fake applause sounds to footage of the President’s military parade last weekend.

Users pointed out that footage of Trump’s remarks during the event which aired on FOX News was accompanied by applause sounds that didn’t sound correct for the setting. Furthermore, they pointed out that the footage of the same point in the event aired on other networks, such as PBS, was not accompanied by the same cheering.

“Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event,” wrote one user who reposted the video on Bluesky.

“I guess they had to help him out. The entire day was a fiasco. Too embarrassing,” commented one user.

Latin Times: Former Fox News Favorite Declares Network a ‘Propaganda Hose’ Aimed at Manipulating ‘Elderly’ Viewers

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is accusing the network he once called home of operating as a “propaganda hose” aimed at manipulating its older viewers into supporting war, including the latest U.S. entanglement in Iran.

Carlson, once one of Fox News’ most influential and highest-rated personalities, has increasingly broken from the Trump-aligned right in recent months. His departure from the network in 2023 marked the beginning of a shift, with Carlson growing more outspoken against U.S. foreign policy, particularly military involvement in the Middle East.

Appearing on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Carlson condemned Fox News and its primetime personalities, most notably Sean Hannity, for cheerleading Israeli strikes on Iran and pushing for U.S. military involvement.

He called out what he described as the network’s deliberate effort to stir pro-war sentiment among “elderly” viewers.

“What they are doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them subject to more wars,” Carlson said.

Fox News: Fox News Analyst Floored by Hegseth’s Attempt to Deny Bombshell Leak

Fox News political analyst Brit Hume expressed astonishment after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, his former colleague at the network, attempted to deflect a question about inadvertently leaking plans for airstrikes in Yemen.

Hegseth was one of more than a dozen Trump administration national security officials who were added to a group chat that mistakenly included The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who revealed the government’s massive blunder in a story for the magazine.

Noting the “shocking recklessness” of the officials, Goldberg wrote that one message sent to the group by Hegseth “contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.”

Goldberg, who has the same initials as U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, was mistakenly added to the group by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.

When asked about the story by a reporter, Hegseth’s initial response was to duck the burgeoning scandal and attack Goldberg.
