-Land of the Free
Freedom of Speech For Everyone Except USA Director of Spanish Engagement Anna Paulina
[Right Scoop] While all of you were busy eating a big meal with your family on Thanksgiving, Fox News was apologizing to Hillary Clinton for an insult made by a guest on one of their daytime shows.

To cut to the chase, at one point Fox News host Rick Leventhal suggested he was amazed that Hillary Clinton was still in the headlines with all that’s going on in the world, referring to calls for another Clinton investigation.

Leventhal immediately call the language inappropriate, apologized to their viewers and then nixed the segment early "because of some of the language that was used". We didn’t see Paulina again.

And then after the segment was over, Fox News anchor Arthel Neville officially apologized to Hillary Clinton, pointing out that Fox News does not condone what Paulina said about the former Secretary of State.

So what do you think? Was the apology necessary or is this more evidence that BillO was right about Fox News wanting to become part of the establishment media?

"You decide."

#1  Ok, so can we all simply agree that the Clinton's are a disease ?
Posted by: Besoeker || 11/24/2018 3:31 Comments || Top||

#2  True.
Posted by: Chomosh Whusose7479 || 11/24/2018 7:37 Comments || Top||

#3  Fact of the matter is the Monica documetary on TV proves the Dems are done with the Clintons. It would have never been allowed to run otherwise.

#4  I wouldn't be surprised if Bill had Herpes. I WOULD be surprised if Hillary had ever picked it up
Posted by: Frank G || 11/24/2018 7:45 Comments || Top||

#5  I recommend Paulina replace Leventhal.
Posted by: Besoeker || 11/24/2018 7:47 Comments || Top||

#6  I have two stock answers these days:

"I have opinions on many things. None of them are any of your &^@#*$! business..."

"Well, I was always told that if I can't say anything nice..."

#7  Herpes sores come and go, right? Kind of like Hillary! going 'on tour' every few weeks with a new, inventive excuse about her loss to Trump, so in that sense Paulina's got a point.

#8  "You decide."

I decided to stop paying for it more than two years ago. Got more time, more money, less aggravation...

#9  Agree. A pernicious disease. Cankles and BJ, indeed.

#10  Only President Trump can be compared to diseases! I thought we made that clear before the interview. Yer outta here!

Home Front: Politix
Former CIA director Michael Hayden suffers stroke
[NYPost] Hayden, 73, served under both the George W. Bush and Obama. He's a retired Air Force general and now works for CNN as a security analyst. Hayden has been a sharp critic of President Trump since he was elected in 2016.
A prerequisite for the CNN gig
In August, Hayden said he would consider it an honor if Trump took away his security clearance. Hayden made the statement to show solidarity with fellow Klingon former CIA director John Brennan after Trump revoked Brennan's security clearance. The White House said in August that Hayden's security clearance was under review.

#1  As a stroke victim myself, my wishes for Hayden are that, like me, he can only talk out of one side of his mouth now...

#2  ^ Snark O' The Day early candidate

#3  Sorry to hear that you suffered a stroke M. Murcek.

Now, with regard Hayden, I feel remorseful that the bastard survived.
Posted by: Whiskey Mike || 11/24/2018 10:47 Comments || Top||

#4  Stroke was more than two decades ago, I bounced back nicely.

I appreciate the good wishes.

#5  A prerequisite for the CNN gig

Ouch. Can't tell if it's true or snark.

#6  Yes

Why did nobody mention that Beto O'Rourke's wife is a billionaire heiress?
[Spectator USA] Young Beto O’Rourke casts himself as the ’anti-Trump’. But his father-in-law, it turns out, is a billionaire property developer with a contentious relationship with non-white residents ‐ not unlike the President. Beto’s more the proto-Jared Kushner.

The New York Times today revealed the highly interesting news that friend-of-the-little-guy Beto married well. Very well. His wife is not only the daughter of William D. Sanders, aka the Warren Buffet of real estate, Cockburn can reveal she is the only daughter. Sanders’s portfolio is valued at about $20 billion.

Nothing wrong with that, of course, but something is amiss when an endless stream of laudatory profiles fails to mention it. ’Stop the Press Before It Profiles Beto O’Rourke Again,’ came the muffled cry of Politico’s Jack Shafer a couple of weeks ago, from beneath a deluge of glowing cuttings about the Texas congressman. Having a profile of the boyishly handsome skateboarder standing against Sen. Ted Cruz is as key an ingredient to a left-leaning media site as an Instagram page or a round of cuts when your staff try to unionise.

A Yahoo profile of O’Rourke described how he ’married Amy Sanders, a charter school administrator,’ and served on the City Council ’championing downtown redevelopment.’ But the reporter didn’t bother to look into who Sanders’s father was.

#1  Robert, not Beto
Posted by: Frank G || 11/24/2018 7:26 Comments || Top||

#2  The easy, correct answer is that it doesn't fit the narrative.

Same kind of thing as Bernie's wife.
Posted by: AlanC || 11/24/2018 8:00 Comments || Top||

#3  Ditto at #2. Well oiled aristocracy parading around as a Texas boob with a catchy nickname. Neither Bloomenthal, Oprah, or Zuck could pull it off either.

#4  One of the core public relations situations the Corporate/Communist Convergence has to address (via omerta and perception management) is the fact that they're a bunch of spoiled rich kids looking to make more money and status by pretending to be poor working class revolutionaries.
Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain || 11/24/2018 8:46 Comments || Top||

#5  They're Bourgeoiseviks.
Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain || 11/24/2018 8:47 Comments || Top||

#6  In the end, they'll all rally behind the new democratic centrist presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Posted by: Besoeker || 11/24/2018 8:50 Comments || Top||

#7  Ah, the John F'ing Kerry strategy.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 11/24/2018 8:51 Comments || Top||

#8  But the reporter intentionally ignored knew but refused to disclose didn’t bother to look into who Sanders’s father was.

Answers the headline's question, doesn't it?
Posted by: Raj || 11/24/2018 8:52 Comments || Top||

#9  Perhaps this POS needs a new nickname: like
Beto F'kn Kerry 2.0

good ol boy wanna be? check
rich wife? check
tax evader? probably.

#12  Master Beto...

#13  Party of the Rich and Corrupt.

Amazon HQ2 choices Washington DC so they can buy Washington DC politicians so that the richest man in the world, Bezos can continue to sell without having to pay sales tax.

#5  The Special Prosecutor and FBI encouraged Monica to cooperate, or they'd send Monica and her mother to the slammer for 27 years.

Not clear what her mother may have been guilty of...

#6  Not clear what her mother may have been guilty of...

"Nice mum ya got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to her." Not that I'm suggesting the FBI is a ruthless mafiya...
