Yeah, they vet their experts like the left vets their POTUS candidates.

Gotta love the Fox News sycophants like KT McFarland and John Bolton, getting opinions on national security from a Bush administration offical, please.

Actually like Colonel Peters but there's really not much else.

I watch Fox News and never heard of this guy. All news outlets use so called experts to fill air time. Some production assistant fresh out of college didn't do his homework. Not like he was a multi millionaire anchor for NBC News lying.

I guess maybe that's why you're not getting a discussion?

I also watch Fox News very often, and also have never heard of or seen this guy before.

Regardless - I feel no need to defend Fox News. It is what it is. They can defend their choice of guest if they feel the need.

I don't get with the Fox bashing. Like Brit Hume said recently about Obama: This station has been living rent free inside Mr Obamas' head for years.

I don't care where you get YOUR news. Why do you care where I get mine?

"A Nexis search of Fox News transcripts turns up a robust 76 appearances by Simmons on various Fox News programs dating back to 2003, the most recent of which was a March 17 spot on Your World With Neil Cavuto in which Simmons appeared to imply that Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett is running the country and said everyone in ISIS could easily be killed in a week if we just ran enough "sorties."

Wayne Simmons, indicted Fox News terrorism "expert," had bold opinions on ISIS and other things.

That "fresh out of college production assistant" has grown a bit long in the tooth over the 12 years that Fox News used Simmons as their go-to terrorism expert.

hypocrisy.

He didn't just LIE - he IMPERSONATED a CIA Agent. Please point out to ME where I said he should go to jail. I'll wait.

It certainly does make Fox look like idiots. NOT that they needed any help.

But my, my, my they certainly have a lotta boot lickers on this forum.

People pretend to be something they are not all the time..like the professor who claimed to be American Indian...or Warren who is a poser as well. As for me....I am a mermaid.....seriously.
