Russell Brand could just switch news stations. But he instead wants everyone to know he doesn’t like FOX News. And then some.
The British actor/comedian filmed a bizarre YouTube video to share his grievances about the network, particularly those with host Jeanine Pirro, or “Judge Jeanine.”
On her Saturday evening show, Pirro attacked the president’s foreign policy, saying he doesn’t “have the balls” to try detainees in Gitmo, and discussed that ISIS leaders may have been trained by U.S. forces to battle the Syrian government.
In his video response, Brand attacked what he called Pirro’s “incendiary and provocative” language. Specifically, he condemned her for calling ISIS “savages” and labeling it a “fanatical religious terrorist organization.”
“So’s Fox News. It’s a fanatical terrorist propagandist organization!” he declared.
He went so far as to call Pirro a savage as well.
“She’s a savage! She’s espousing savage values!”
Despite claiming Pirro had no right to call Iran “the devil” in the video’s beginning, Brand himself had no qualms making his own provocative claims throughout the 10-minute video.
He also made the outrageous claim that Fox News is more dangerous than ISIS.
“I’m not being just sensational, that is more dangerous than ISIS. That attitude. ‘Cause that’s far-reaching. That’s affecting millions and millions of people,” Brand said.
