Intelligence Analyst Malcolm Nance Compares Fox News Rhetoric to 'Psychological Warfare'

The network is using dangerous language to destabilize its audience's understanding of the country's institutions.

Intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance told MSNBC host Ari Melber that Fox News' coverage of the Mueller investigation is approaching the level of "psychological warfare."

Melber and Nance discussed Fox News' inaccurate use of the word "coup" to describe what amounts to the “nonpartisan rule of law in America."

“They want to make you lose faith that we can get through this as a Republic,” Melber said.

“This is almost psychological warfare—preparation of the battlefield,” Nance explained. “This is not a coup, and this language is dangerous."
