Theres no better way to get the Fox &Friends crew going after breakfast than playing some good ol fashion freedom music and watching a video of an American payload snuffing out the lives of our enemies.The show kicked off its Friday-morning segment with black and white footage of the Mother of All Bombs killing as many as 36 alleged Islamic State militantsin Afghanistan on Thursday,with a celebratory backdrop of Toby Keiths Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.As the footage plays and the Fox & Friends crew cackles, host Ainsley Earhardt crows, That is what freedom looks like.Fox host: Dropping MOAB is "what freedom looks like, that's the red, white, and blue."Geraldo: It's one of my favorite things to watch. pic.twitter.com/E5X2lmTnSE Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) April 14, 2017 If that forced patriotism wasnt enough to make you gag, Geraldo Rivera joined the segment to note that watching bombs drop is one of his favorite things about working for Fox News.One of my favorite things in my 16 years Ive been here at Fox News is watching bombs drop on bad guys, he said.Its the latest in a cringe-worthy series of segments by several news stations hailing President Donald Trumps newfound penchant for lobbing bombs as presidential.Legendary anchor Dan Rather lashed out at the likes of CNN, MSNBC and The Washington Post for treating Trumps airstrike in Syria last week as a public relations operation.The number of members of the press who have lauded the actions last night as presidential is concerning, Rather wrote in a Facebook post last Friday. War must never be considered a public relations operation. It is not a way for an Administration to gain a narrative. It is a step into a dangerous unknown and its full impact is impossible to predict, especially in the immediate wake of the first strike.But we cant put it any better than Toby Keith does:And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you/Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
