Red Five Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 This is complete sh#t. No way should NBC/Kelly give any acknowledgment to this lowlife. Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Kingmaker. https://www.vox.com/first-person/2017/6/7/15758376/kurt-bardella-breitbart-bannon-trump Before Steve Bannon aligned himself with Donald Trump, he auditioned several other political figures. Initially, it seemed as if he was positioning Sarah Palin to be his public puppet. A number of “exclusive” columns from Palin began appearing on the homepage of Breitbart. The flirtation with Palin didn’t last long, as it was very clear she had no future as a political candidate in 2016 or beyond. Next, Bannon courted Sen. Rand Paul. You might recall Breitbart touting itself as the exclusive destination for his weekly columns. As the 2016 GOP primary began, Bannon and Breitbart would become friendly to Sen. Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson. I remember Steve talking about being Carson's chief of staff if Carson were to win. That’s when I realized Steve was definitively using Breitbart to pave his way to the West Wing. For him, it seemed that Breitbart was a means to an end. He could ingratiate himself with campaigns and candidates by providing them access to a platform that reached millions of Republican primary voters. I didn't realize that Bannon had an ethics waiver to allow him to communicate with his former employees at Breitbart, also. 1 Link to comment

Oade Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Need more companies to step up https://twitter.com/gideonresnick/status/874420584557539329 Well dude, that's uhh, just like, you're opinion man.... Sometimes it's the right move to simply do what your oponent doesn't want you to do. Cutting ties with NBC is not going to upset the opponents of the msm one bit. I'll bet Jones is pretty glad about this move by jp Morgan. The fact that he played a part in this has got to make him pretty proud. You and him both are hoping for others to join jp Morgan. Companies cutting ties with nbc and other msm outlets will only give infowars more footing and validation in their viewers' eyes. Moves like that help infowars more than a 20 minute interview that hardly anybody is actually going to watch anyway. Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Megyn Kelly is trying to make a space for herself on her new network, so it's understandable she'd do some unusual or controversial interviews to kick down the proverbial door. Thing is, if you're going to do these interviews, you're going to need to knock them out of the park. She didn't fare so well against Putin, so she's going to have to get something out of the Jones interview or she's going to be relegated to blowhard status. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I don't have a problem with her interviewing Putin or Jones. But, like Knapp said, they need to be probing and news worthy interviews. She can't soft ball it. It would be absolutely fantastic if she interviewed Jones and drilled him on the outrageous disgusting things he has tried to convince people of. If she poo poos the interview and ends up pumping him up, it's total failure. If she interviews him and it exposes his trash, it's a good interview. Link to comment
TGHusker Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It is all about the R word - ratings. She had an opportunity to knock the ball out of the park as Knapp noted but failed. Putin got the best of her, she didn't have come back questions - she looked more like the hunted instead of the hunter. Alex Jones - give me a break - this is almost desperation interviewing. However, the red meat Trump fans will tune in and be ready to defend the guy. I understand Jones has press credentials from the admin- so be ready for Trump to tweet support for his pal Alex. Thus, it will keep Megan and the interview in the public eye for a while and she may get the desired ratings and longer term exposure. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 With Trump and Megan's feelings towards each other. There is no way in hell he isn't going to post tweets that supports Jone's and tries to demonize her. Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When a Republican administration can't even poll well in Rasmussen they're pretty damn unpopular. That's the Fox News of presidential polls right there. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When a Republican administration starts losing the support of scumbag sites like Drudge Report....they're in trouble. And....Drudge isn't modifying or sugarcoating the numbers. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nice little editorial by that guy who stood up to Sarah ... Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 So... with Trump's in-depth interview to the (failing) New York Times, do they pick up an endorsement? Link to comment
