Fox News Thinks Taylor Swift Is a Pentagon Psyop

Fox News’ latest insane conspiracy theory is that Taylor Swift is being used as a Pentagon “psyop” to swing young voters towards Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

Tuesday night’s (January 9th) episode of Jesse Watters Primetime aired a clip from what host Watters insinuated was a recent meeting between the Pentagon and NATO to discuss online misinformation: “Social influence can help encourage or promote behavior change,” said the woman presenting in the clip. “So, potentially as a peaceful information operation… I include Taylor Swift in here because she’s, you know, a fairly influential online person.”

“Yeah, that’s real,” Watters said after the clip ended. “Pentagon’s psyop unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset.” As Newsweek points out, however, the clip was actually from a 2019 cyber security conference organized by NATO — before Swift even endorsed Biden in the 2020 election.

And while Watters admitted that he “obviously has no evidence,” he’s still spewing nonsense. He suggested that Swift’s urging fans to register to vote wasn’t at all personally motivated by the US government’s attacks on basic human rights, but because Biden’s campaign is using her influence to swing voters. Watters even suggested Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson have all been used as Pentagon psyops before, too.

Watters then tapped former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan to attempt backing up these claims: “The administration has what they consider a Perception Optics Management team, and those are professionals that go about and identify those people that may be unsuspecting — whether with knowledge or without knowledge — to do these types of campaigns.”

To us, this all sounds like a very long-winded way of saying that these grown men are very scared of young women, especially at the polls. See the clips below.
