Nothing against Rachel Maddow but her Trump Tax returns spoof was probably the dumbest i have seen in years.. She did more harm than good to the anti Trump cause, not what i would call very smart!
That episode was 18 months ago.
I doubt it made one iota of difference to the anti Trump or pro-Trump 'cause' one way the another.
Nothing ever does.
She's on for one hour every night, 5 days a week, mostly holding the show up on her own and you pick on one episode from year and a half ago? And that's the dumbest thing you've seen in years?
I see dumb stuff every day. Mostly it comes out of Trumps mouth.
Right you are, Oprah comes to mind and she owns a network
Oprah does not own a news network. She is however a contributor to 60 Minutes on CBS. She doesn't normally do political pieces. She however has taken a leave during the election to campaign for some candidates, including Abrams in Georgia. CBS was however very quick to point out she had temporarily stepped away from her position with the network until after the election.
They have every right to do what they did. Acting like there is no open and brazen bias on the left is moronic when its seen daily. Where it happens is up to the individual to make their own decisions. Its part of free association in the constitution. The problem with the left is they hate their opponents and the constitution.
They would change both if they had their way.
They have never claimed to have unbiased opinion. They are right up front and standing in the face of the unhinged left giving their opinion.
Why are you posts always so full of nonsense? The left do not 'hate the constitution and opponents' any more than the right 'hate the constitution and opponents'. There's plenty of hate emanating from your own post here. You absolutely hate and detest the left and demonstrate that with every post, with words like 'unhinged' and 'moronic' in every post you write. You'd trade the entire left wing population for a bunch of Russians.
You and Trump would love nothing better than to silence the media, so don't give me a sermon about the left and the constitution.
Every statement he makes in this monologue is backed by facts referencing other sources. He makes a logical connection between each statement in his message.
Tell us which part of that clip you find legitimately untrue. I challenge you.
Are Sean Hannity and Jeanine Piro the best examples of the biased news media that many on the right are always railing against? Many feel they can perceive a media bias in how members of news organization portray issues and politicians. In this case, we have media persons that work for the supposedly most watched news network in the nation out on the campaign stump appearing on stage at rallies with politicians and advocating for how people vote.
I think what Hannity and Pirro did was inappropriate. I think employees of news outlets should not be campaigning for politicians. However, they are not "news media." They are both commentators and entertainers, not journalists. Pirro is a former Republican politician herself.
By contrast, Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, Jorge Ramos, and Mika Brzezinski, for example, identify themselves as journalists, reporters, and newscasters. These are commentators and opinionmakers, not journalists.
This morning, Morning Joe was like Democratic PROPAGANDA. It reached an astounding level that would make Fox and Friends blush. I had to turn the channel to Fox News. MSNBC and CNN these days make Fox News look rational and levelheaded.
Expressing an opinion on a program is one thing. Actually going out on the road and participating in political campaign rallies is quite another thing.
I don't really see that POV, but that's OK. Really, it's up to him and his bosses.
CNN gave Hillary the debate questions prior to her debate with Trump. Is that fair, or is that underhanded politics, and totally unethical? At least what Hannity, and Pirro are doing are above board, and public.
Because Hillary, who has been around politics for basically her entire life and who surrounded herself with people who had been around politics for most of their lives, could not discern what questions she might be asked at a political debate.
to me the best example is NPR, but then we do not have much around here that I can stand to listen to. One station has Mark Levine, but that guy is worthless as political commentary and as an entertainer. All he does is call people morons. However at least people like that do not try to hide their bias. NPR cracks me up trying to pretend they are not over top extreme biased news and talk. Is it worse to try to appear non-biased when your are extremely biased in your reporting/talk shows, or to be bluntly extremely biased?
On the other hand, I prefer to listen to NPR over Mark Levine (whom I cannot stand to listen to) even through I tend to lean more to the right than left. Actually NPR's attempts to cassert they are anything but extremely biased is funny enough to be entertaining in itself: "We are going to a balanced approach and we will hear from both sides. Speaking for the left is professor Barty Blaguh the third who was raised in a politically active and highly educated family, began studying what is wrong with republicans at age 6 and now has six PhDs and has published 22 books 9 of which were best sellers. Speaking for the right is Tim. A guy we found passed out in the ditch in front of the station wearing a tin foil hat. He was holding a small american flag, so that makes him a representative of the right. Lets sit on the edge of our seats and see which side has the more defendable position. . . .. "
Fox News says it "does not condone" its hosts "participating in campaign events" as Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro did during a campaign rally with President Trump in Missouri on Monday night.
A network spokesperson on Tuesday called the event "an unfortunate distraction" that "has been addressed."
“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events," read a statement to The Hill. "We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”
Addressed how?
A wagged finger?
"does not condone any talent..."
Oh well I guess that counts Hannity and Pirro out anyway.
