Gotta be why he is such a known superstar in the Fox News World.

BUSTED: Feds arrest Fox News

Simmons frequently appeared on Fox News billed as a "terrorism analyst" and had a habit of making extreme and factually dubious claims, such as that under the Obama Administration there were "at least 19 paramilitary Muslim training facilities in the United States," a claim I've seen repeated on this site many times. Fox News, of course, never bothered to verify his claims, much less his credentials.

I wonder if the network will now disclaim all the bogus things this guy said. Yeah, who am I kidding.
When anybody on FOX claims to be an expert on anything, most people ignore the claim.

Most thinking people, which excludes the entire Faux News viewing audience.

Really? Then why did it take his arrest for fraud for the truth to come out?

Sounds like no one did their homework on this guy!

Im not understanding where are getting your numbers from, especially since a person cant appear "6.3" times.


however, if the guy did appear 76 times in 12 years, that does indeed average out to one appearance ever 7 weeks(or about 2 months).

It doesnt really matter how often he appeared, he provided information to a viewing audience that was completely false, claiming to be an expert/former analyst.

trying to blow this off as nothing inst going to work.

Further more, he isnt the first person to do this either. The others simply claim to be something that it isnt illegal to claim to be, like a climate scientist, an Obama administration official(even though the only day they worked for the administration was January of 2009 during the transition), Or a Civil rights activist who runs a website and nothing more.

Wait we're concerned about a guy duping a news organization...but the Obama administration and the current Democratic Presidential Candidate Killary tried to dupe the nation with the big whopper of a lie and deception about Benghazi...you know the video...
This is left wingers attempting to deflect.
How many more lies will Killary tell in the Benghazi hearings...answer...numerous

Conservatives always think they're being lied to because all the people who say others are lying to them are actually lying to them.
