Jesse Watters Applauds Fox News For ‘Waging a 21st-Century Information Warfare Campaign Against the Left’

Fox News host Jesse Watters cheered the right-wing media’s “information warfare” machine that he argued has outpaced and outmaneuvered Democrats in the battle for public influence, mocking liberals for “screaming into the ether on MSNBC” with an outdated and ineffective messaging strategy.

Speaking on The Five on Monday night, the host unleashed on the liberal media ecosystem, arguing it’s stuck in an old-school, top-down approach that, in his view, has failed to keep up with a rapidly evolving media landscape.

In contrast, he argued, the right has adopted a decentralized, viral approach that he called “grassroots guerrilla warfare.”

We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the left, and they are using tactics from the 1990s. They are holding tiny presser conferences, tiny little rallies. They are screaming into the ether on MSNBC. This is what you call top-down command and control. You’ve got the talking points from a newspaper, and you put it on the broadcast network, and then it disappears. What you are seeing on the right is asymmetrical – it’s grassroots guerrilla warfare.

Watters went on to break down how the information ecosystem works, explaining how users on X can flag stories to President Donald Trump’s close ally Elon Musk, whose amplification kick starts a chain of messengers from Joe Rogan all the way to Fox News.

Someone said something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it. It is free money, and we are actually talking about expressing information.

Rounding on Democrats and liberal networks again, the host mocked their apparent inability to convert.

They are suppressing information. If you watch CBS News, they don’t even talk about the scandals that the money is going to. Sri Lankan transgenders are getting electric cars, it’s costing millions of dollars? They don’t tell you about that. We tell you about it. It’s colorful, it’s witty, it’s interesting, and it goes viral. That’s the difference.

Democrats, Watters concluded, “are late to the game” and, according to him, “there’s no way they’re catching up.”
