WKRLEM: Better Call Uncle Saul......because it ain't just for libtards anymore!



I remember hearing Mickey Mantle talk about how he would love to go to the workplace of the people who booed him and just do the same thing. You know...boo and yell "You suck" while the guy is working at the insurance company or whatever.

Here Watters is working from Uncle Saul's rule book and taking the fight right to the enemy. Just the way Trump does when he doesn't back down to political correctness or Social Justice Warriors.

His show is pretty funny if one note. Worth a listen.

The Ace of Spades calls a Spade a Spade.

Sean Hannity: Megyn Kelly, You're a Hillary Clinton Supporter

—Ace

I don't know why this is a big story.
I suspect it comes down to three things:
1. Fox is a fairly stage-managed operation and so a bit of backstage bickering is interesting.
2. The conservative movement is over-interested in personal squabbles between its "celebrities."
3. The NeverTrump class that controls most of the commanding heights of conservative media isvery opposed to saying people who clearly support Hillary Clinton clearly support Hillary Clinton, for purely self-interested reasons. They want to support Hillary Clinton while forbidding you to note the obvious, on pain of shunning and whatever actual purging from the party they have the power to pull off.
It's their plot to tank the election, then come forward as the leaders of GOP thought again.

Basically, their plan is to give West Point to the British, and then, after the war is lost, they want to demand that America put them back in charge of West Point again.

To "save the party" or whatever.

They have therefore agreed mutually among each other that to call an obvious Hillary supporter an obvious Hillary supporter is on the level of a racial slur, a disgusting insult never to be uttered. And anyone who dares to speak the obvious should be branded guilty of a speech crime akin to racism.

One More: I forgot to include this one:
4. The conservative movement as a whole is a stage-managed operation. There is this wrongheaded idea that we must hide all internal disagreements so that the liberals and/or the media do not see it. Necessary arguments are squelched in the interests of "presenting a united front."

Then the putative leadership class wonders how the hell it so badly misread the electorate, while the putative intellectual class wonders why people aren't as psyched about free trade as everyone was at their last Cato Institute symposium.
So it feels weird to have a public argument, instead of the sublimated passive-aggressive sniping that we usually have.

"Fox News' Megyn Kelly accuses Roger Ailes of sexual harassment"

CNBC:  One of Fox News' top anchors, Megyn Kelly, has also alleged that she was sexually harassed by CEO Roger Ailes, New York Magazine's Daily Intelligencer reports.
Two sources told the publication that Kelly told a team handling an outside investigation into Ailes' behavior that she too was the victim of sexual advances from the Fox News executive about a decade ago. The probe is being handled by New York-based law firm Paul, Weiss, Kelly, on behalf of Fox News' parent company 21st Century Fox.
That's why she had not come forward to defend Ailes, following the Gretchen Carlson charge, like all the other Fox News stars.

Trump raises $6 million for veterans charities while FOX Newsbunnies set up hit job on Republican Primary Candidates.



Well that about as predicted. Donald Trump had a very successful rally for which he raised $6 for various Veterans charities. Trump himself is giving a million. Here is a list of the charities. Of course if the news media would do their jobs they will make sure that these charities actually get their money. They won't follow up. Or if they do and the charities do get the money they will never publicize it. They are the most corrupt institution in America bar none.

It was a very interesting event. Huckabee and Santorum showed up to support the cause of veterans affairs. There was a moving speech by wounded Green Beret Staff Segarent John Wayne Walding who spoke about the terrible problem of suicide among veterans. Someone who would never get a platform in the main stream media. I mean he is not a Muslim extremist complaining about phony hate crimes or an illegal immigrants crying about the fact that they don't get everything on a silver platter as they steal Americans Jobs and clog our social services safety net.

FOX News illustrated this point of their own innate corruption by the hit job they set up in this debate. They cooked the books by running attack videos against Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. I guess they wanted to bring them down. They didn't do squat to Jeb or any of the other midgets still in the race, I can only imagine what ambush videos they had set up for Trump.

I know that they had set up some "Youtube Activists" to ask questions. As though a Muslim extremist, illegal immigrant and apologist for the Ferguson riots are appropriate people to ask questions at a Republican Primary event. Are there Right to Life or  Western Land Use rebels invited to the Democratic Debate. Oh wait. The Democrats will not even appear on Fox News. Hmmmm.

I think we have to totally change the debate format. The idea of debates is for candidates to debate the issues and not attack each other. That is what campaign commercials are for. The pundits all bitched and moaned that there couldn' be a substantive debate without the Trump sideshow. That the Donald is a clown and serious questions need to be answered about substantive issues. How did they do with that? The horse race aspect that the media is obsessed with is just a joke. It was obvious that the FOX debate was weighted to help some candidates and hurt others. Why should a campaign sign on to this. Future candidates will have to take control. They have to force the RNC to set up debates that help get a Republican elected. Not one that tries to destroy them.

She must be bleeding from somewhere?


The Donald is fighting with Fox News again. After the Bill O'Reilly show canceled his appearance the pompous blow hard decided he would not appear on Fox. Trump that is not O'Reilly. The big brains at Fox decided that the best way to make nice was to have one of their commentators say that "Carly Farina cut off Trump's balls." The Donald is full of faux outrage and talking about the FCC. It is almost as if someone talked about his face.
Anyhoo he spent the day yapping on CNN and MSNBC and FOX surrendered faster than Mitch the Bitch McConnell. There is going to be a sit down with Trump and Roger Ailes to see if they can come to a meeting of the minds. FOX will buckle. They want the ratings. Which The Donald brings in spades. So to speak.

Trump has provided one great service to the nation. He has exposed FOX and many of the conservative elite media as minions of the Welfare State. If Boehner and McConnell are the tax collectors for the Welfare State these mugs are the mouthpieces for them. The right side of the Octopus. The mirror image of Chrissy Tingle and Rachel Maddow who can't think outside of the box.

Obama watched Fox and decided

Breitbart transcript. (video at the link)
I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, “I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever.” And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical — who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills. 
And so, if we’re going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news.
May I suggest Fox implement an Obama Mad Index. Fair, Balanced and a little Afraid.
