Fox News thread of fine journalism

Dirtbag O’Keefe says the same.

Death: too good.

Mad at the President for willingness to sign any DACA bill put in front of him.

I like this evidence that this is a bad thing: “Far Left” Jeb Bush praised the President for this position!

Poor Tucker. Being a propagandist is a tough life, but even tougher when you are a propagandist for DJT.

In some ways Tucker seems like the worst of them all to me. He’s as bad as Hannity or Savage but still affects some kind of Buckley-esque intellectual integrity.

That’s amazing.

Hahahah

It’s a bit sad to see how MLK has been defanged into a Sweet Old Dear who was completely uncontroversial, all right.

Apparently I’ve been missing the pixelated boat as his whole feed is full of gems.

I really feel that if you’re bitter about NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem to protest cops killing black men in the US, you might need to STFU about MLK.

Also, when President’s Day comes along next month, can we not politicize the memory of Abraham Lincoln by mentioning the Confederacy he dedicated his presidency to destroying?

Some mighty fine journalism killing a story that could damage your candidate…

It was in October 2016, after the “Access Hollywood” tape made the news, where Trump can be heard boasting that his wealth and celebrity gave him license to molest women, that all the reports of him doing just that came to light.

And while Trump was calling over a dozen different women liars, his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was quietly paying the porn star $130,000 to sign a nondisclosure agreement, as she was about to start making the talk show rounds and spilling her guts.

Filthy, low grade, stuff. Just the kind of stuff that would make him an Evangelical icon, I suppose.

As it turns out, the story wasn’t completely hush-hush.

A Fox News reporter got wind of the affair in the heat of everything else.

So why didn’t the faithful get to hear about it?..

…Falzone had an on-the-record statement from Clifford’s manager at the time, Gina Rodriguez, confirming that her client had engaged in a sexual relationship with Trump, three of these people said, and Falzone had even seen emails about a settlement.

But the story never saw the light of the day, to the frustration of Falzone, two of the people said.

“She had the story and Fox killed it,” one of the people familiar with the matter told CNN.

Edit to add quote, which is a PITA when posting from mobile.

In stark contrast, it was the NYT that broke the Hillary email server story.

Falzone should have given the story to someone at another news agency.

Hillary is still furious with the NYT and thinks they’ve had it out for her for years.

She’s mostly likely being paranoid, but it is a bit of a contrast with Trump’s relationship to Fox… (Except that goddamn Shep Smith)

Good ole boy Tucker Carlson gets called out by Bill Kristol

“I mean, it is close now to racism, white — I mean, I don’t know if it’s racism exactly — but ethnonationalism of some kind, let’s call it. A combination of dumbing down, as you said earlier, and stirring people’s emotions in a very unhealthy way,” Kristol told CNBC’s John Harwood in the interview published on Thursday.

Kristol is right to point out what is happening over at Fox News, as well as to call out those that are falling into the alt-right line of scumbaggery.

This isn’t something that we should allow any national news network to make mainstream.

But they clearly have. The NYT had to purge their DC bureau for biased reporting. I think it was in late 2016.
