For the first time in her adult life. Glad you realized she didn't wasn't speaking of being proud to be an American. Or really proud. The really part actually doesn't help your point. She was apparently only "really" proud because America voted for a black guy. Is that all they ever meant by change??? We're changing rapidly though not for the better. I keep reading about all the anti Semitic shit coming from the left. I expected it from the white trash Nazi wannabes but didn't understand the left at all. Now I'm learning more about intersectionality and it makes sense. They lump the Jews in with the white cis male oppressors. I'm not a big history buff like so many here but even I can see the canary dying in the coal mine. The future is not looking good. Hell, look at this ridiculousness. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ly-goers-fear-event-overwhelmingly-white.html
Where does she say for the first time in her life? She denied being really proud because her husband was elected President, so I have no idea where you got that. The only anti Semitic bullshit I've seen has come from Trump or the Nazis who support Trump. Otherwise, I haven't seen it. Who is they that lump Jews in with cis male oppressors and what is 'cis'? What ridiculousness are you referring to?
A. She says for the first time in her adult life. B. I'm saying it has to be the black guy thing because there wasn't any other change from him being elected. C. If you haven't seen the anti Semitic bullshit that serious leftists are spewing then you aren't paying attention. D. Identity politics is creating a new us vs them. This time the white people aren't causing it.
A. How do you know she said it for the first time in her adult life? Speculation? B. She specifically ruled out the election of her husband for her belief that she was now really proud of America. I can't recall the real reason but I know that when she said that I did know her reason and it had nothing to do with the election of her husband. . . . I just looked it up. She said it at a campaign stop and according to her she said it because of the large voter turnout; C. I pay more attention to the news than anyone you know and I can't recall any Liberals spewing hate for Jews. I'm sure it goes on, I just don't see it's salient presence. On the other hand, I've heard anecdotes of Trump spewing such hate in what he thought was private. I've also seen with my own eyes and ears Nazis spew such hate, the same Nazis praised by Trump. 1 +1 = 2.
Homeland Security blasts CNN, says TSA 'sick out' report 'grossly misrepresented' situation at airports By Louis Casiano | Fox News A Department of Homeland Security spokesman lashed out at CNN on Friday, labeling as "fake news" the network's report that hundreds of Transportation Security Administration screeners at the nation’s airports have been staging a "sick out" this week amid the partial government shutdown. In a tweet, DHS spokesman Tyler Houlton accused the network of failing to validate its data and not reaching out to agency officials for verification. "More #FakeNews from @CNN. Security operations at airports have not been impacted by a non-existent sick out. CNN has the cell numbers of multiple @TSA public affairs professionals, but rather than validate statistics, they grossly misrepresented them," the tweet read. The TSA, meanwhile, tweeted a more measured response that said employee absences began over the holidays but have had minimal impact on security operations. "Call outs began over the Holiday period and have increased, but are causing minimal impact given there are 51,739 employees supporting the screening process," the tweet said. "TSA is grateful to the agents who show up to work, remain focused on the mission and respectful to the traveling public." Even in the middle of the shutdown, TSA officers are mandated to work without pay. A TSA spokesperson told the Times that wait times for passengers to board flights could increase if the call-outs persist, and that the agency "is grateful to the agents who show up to work, remain focused on the mission and respectful to the traveling public as they continue the important work necessary to secure the nation’s transportation systems.” The concern over airport security staffing followed speculation last month over whether Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen would keep her job. TSA Administrator David Pekoske recently urged President Trump to keep Nielsen despite reports that the president had grown frustrated with her leadership. "I've worked for Secretary Nielsen for a little over a year now and in my view, she’s been an outstanding secretary of homeland security," said Pekoske, according to the Washington Examiner. "And she has been very, very supportive of me as the TSA administrator, very interested in our issues, and importantly, very engaged with our workforce." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainme...abels-cnn-tsa-security-call-outs-as-fake-news
Seattle TV station fires editor over doctored video of Trump’s Oval Office address By Brian Flood | Fox News Seattle’s Fox affiliate, Q13, fired a staffer after apparently doctored footage of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday evening Oval Office address aired on the station. The broadcast video appeared to add orange coloring to the president and was made to appear -- inaccurately -- as if Trump stuck out his tongue throughout the address. “This does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light,” Q13 news director Erica Hill told the Seattle Times on Thursday. “We’ve completed our investigation into this incident and determined that the actions were the result of an individual editor whose employment has been terminated,” Hill added. Q13 did not immediately respond when asked for additional comment. MyNorthWest.com posted a side-by-side comparison of the Q13 footage and undistorted footage that aired on CNN. “That comparison revealed the Q13 video creating a loop of the President licking his lips -- making it seem bizarre and unbalanced -- it also seems that someone distorted the President’s face and may have added an orange tone to his skin,” MyNorthWest.com’s Todd Herman wrote. Fox News’ Alex Pappas and The Associated Press contributed to this report. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainme...-doctored-video-of-trumps-oval-office-address
This is why Fox News gets nominated for so many journalism awards for excellence. What are they up to now? Zero? At least they don't get disparaged for making so many bad calls. What's that? I'm dead wrong?
Another Dem hero tires of the Deep State CNN/MSNBC Fake News Mind Control, signs on with the only major credible news organization left in America. Donna Brazile: Why I am excited to join Fox News and take part in a civil - and sensible - debate By Donna Brazile | Fox News Former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and co-author of 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics' explains her decision to Dana Perino on 'The Daily Briefing.' I am excited by the opportunity to share my perspective and views with the Fox News audience and to help shape the dialogue at this important juncture in our history. More importantly, I’m eager to learn from the experience. The 2020 presidential election is a consequential moment in American democracy. Everything we believe in as Americans will be examined and, in essence, ratified by our votes. But it concerns me, as it does the majority of good Americans, that our national debate has become hostile and disrespectful. We no longer simply agree to disagree. Too often we demonize the intentions of others. Our lines of communication are frayed, if not broken. In order for us to best decide as a people how to better protect and preserve our way of life, we need to first be able to hear what others are saying without the filter of bias and contempt. Not until we once again become practiced at treating those of differing views with civility and respect can we begin to join together to solve the myriad of problems our country must overcome. I fully admit that in my previous lives as a campaign staffer, presidential campaign manager and Democrat Party official, my own lack of civility in the heat of battle has been on full display. And it wasn’t pretty. I should have been wise enough and humble enough to have listened to my mother, Jean, who so often would tell me, the third of nine children, to shut up and allow my siblings to speak, and to listen - really listen - to what they had to say. She knew I wasn’t listening so much as I was pausing before launching again into an argument. My mother tried to teach us Brazile kids a lesson we all need to heed as citizens: Listen more, talk less. Be civil to one another. Find common ground. Contempt is hatred towards others. These are the lessons and the attitude I will bring to Fox News. Will I agree with my fellow commentators at Fox News? Probably not. But I will listen. Will I question some of their assertions about hard-working Americans, low-income people and issues like climate change? Absolutely. But I will do so with civility and respect. Feeling right and righteous is a comfortable place to be. In a bubble, you don’t have to listen — or even think. When we refuse to hear one another, we wall ourselves off from the possibility of learning and, more importantly, finding common ground. Civility and humility are vital to our democratic enterprise. They are even more vital in healing the political divisions tearing us apart. To bridge this great divide, we need to bust out of our comfort zone. In coming to work as a commentator at Fox News, trust me, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. My beliefs will be challenged, and I welcome it. In more than three decades in American politics, I have made my share of mistakes. Some would argue I’ve made more than my fair share. But I have never wavered on the values and principles that shaped my commitment to public service. When I was a little girl campaigning to get the city of Kenner, La., to put a playground in my neighborhood, I learned that civility with those who disagreed with me helped keep the dialogue alive. As long as we were still talking, I figured there was a chance for change. I got that playground. I have always believed that what Americans share in common is a lot stronger than what drives us apart, and that the best decisions are made in the spirit of mutual respect. I have always had good friends on the other side of the aisle. Former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie and Michael Steele are men who I have known for decades. Former Bush-Cheney strategist and home girl Mary Matalin helped me survive so many challenges that we now refer to each other as “Towanda,” a term of endearment from the classic film “Fried Green Tomatoes.” Former Virginia Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock was the first person to donate clothes for my drive to help Hurricane Katrina victims. And I’ve happily shared many meals and civic engagements with Dana Perino and Karl Rove. My decision to serve as a commentator for Fox News is rooted in the belief that you cannot make progress, let alone reach compromise, without first listening to, and understanding those who disagree with you on critical issues. Will I agree with my fellow commentators at Fox News? Probably not. But I will listen. Will I question them if they make assertions about hard-working Americans, low-income people and issues like climate change that I disagree with? Absolutely. But I will do so with civility and respect. I will also freely admit the weaknesses in liberal arguments and the strength in conservative positions. And I welcome the opportunity to challenge many of the false assumptions about progressives, especially those newly elected to Congress. To leave the world a better place, you need to help make the world a better place. Just as it takes many ingredients to make a good gumbo, it will require listening to many voices before we are able to move forward as one people. And that’s exactly why I am so excited to join the honest and passionate debate at Fox News about our future. I invite you to join me. Author and political strategist Donna Brazile, who has held many key posts within the Democratic Party, including campaign manager for presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000, is a Fox News contributor. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/don...-and-take-part-in-a-civil-and-sensible-debate
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ted-koppel-says-the-establishment-press-is-out-to-get-trump# Ted Koppel says 'the Establishment press is out to get' Trump By Howard Kurtz | Fox News President Trump has been aiming his online invective at a whole lot of targets, including the husband of his White House counselor. And it's easy to get distracted when the president of the United States is using phrases like "total loser" and "husband from hell" to describe Washington lawyer George Conway, who constantly torches Kellyanne's boss on Twitter. But whether Trump is slamming social media bias, "SNL" reruns or "fake news" (applauding the Brazilian president for using that phrase), he is building the case that those who control the flow of information are consistently unfair to him. Now comes a widely respected veteran journalist to say the president has a point. Ted Koppel was a globe-trotting ABC News correspondent for decades and a master interviewer as the anchor of "Nightline." I appeared on that program numerous times and know Koppel well. Koppel, now a senior contributor to CBS's "Sunday Morning," has left the impression from previous comments that he's not a Trump fan. And yet he felt compelled to declare that the president is right that "the establishment press is out to get him." What's more, Koppel called out two of the country's most influential papers for their coverage of the president, which has left him "terribly concerned." At a Carnegie Endowment forum this month, Koppel unloaded on The New York Times and Washington Post, saying the papers are not what they were 50 years ago. "We're talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States," he said. "'We have things appearing on the front page of The New York Times right now that never would have appeared 50 years ago." Koppel argued that analysis and commentary didn't creep onto the front pages the way they do in the Trump era. "I remember sitting at the breakfast table with my wife during the campaign after the Access Hollywood tape came out and The New York Times, and I will not offend any of you here by using the language but you know exactly what words were used, and they were spelled out on the front page of The New York Times. I turned to my wife and I said, 'The Times is absolutely committed to making sure that this guy does not get elected.'" Wait, he's not done. The president is "not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, described themselves as belonging to the Resistance. What does that mean? That’s not said by people who consider themselves reporters, objective reporters of facts. That's the kind of language that's used by people who genuinely believe, and I rather suspect with some justification, that Donald Trump is bad for the United States." That is a searing indictment from a man who has long been a member in good standing of the media establishment. And it matches the comments of Jill Abramson, the former Times executive editor, who says in her new book that the news pages of her former paper have become "unmistakably anti-Trump." Now the big papers and other major outlets would undoubtedly say they cover Trump differently because he's unlike any other president — in terms of shattering norms, divisive rhetoric, blasting the press, criticizing aides and being caught up in the Russia investigation. The Times and Post have broken plenty of important stories about the administration, not just connected to the special counsel's probe, and both papers have some reporters and analysts who try to be fair. But the sheer tonnage of anti-Trump stories, the negative tone, and the loaded phrases that creep into news pieces, especially at the Times, too often give the impression of opposition. The same goes for what some of the journalists say on Twitter. I know there is concern about the tone among some in these newsrooms. And that's without even getting into the largely one-sided opinion pages. In January, Koppel made some other observations about the president and the press: "Let the record show that Trump has launched the careers of numerous media stars and that expressions of indignant outrage on the left and breathless admiration on the right have resulted in large, entirely nonpartisan profits for the industry of journalism ... "Trump's detractors are outraged by him. His supporters are outraged with him. He is a national Rorschach test. Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him." That much is undoubtedly true. What Koppel is saying is that Trump-bashing has become a business model for left-leaning outfits and Trump-cheerleading has become a business model for right-leaning outfits. Abramson said attacking Trump had become a business model for the Times. And that ought to spark a serious debate for organizations that cast themselves as dedicated to news values over financial motives.
Fox News dominates CNN, MSNBC in Wednesday primetime ratings, topping both networks' combined viewership Fox News Left, anti-Trump media push collusion narrative, conspiracies throughout Mueller probe. Fox News Channel was the big winner in cable news on Wednesday night, beating CNN’s and MSNBC’s combined average primetime viewership on a night when CNN hosted a Town Hall special with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Fox News' Sean Hannity interviewed President Donald Trump. According to Nielsen’s early ratings, across the 8 pm-11 pm primetime slots, Fox News Channel averaged 3,685,000 viewers, including 653,000 in the prized 25-54 age-group demographic. MSNBC delivered an average of 2,141,000 viewers and 333,000 in the 24-54 demo, while CNN came in last with 904,000 average prime-time viewers, with 235,000 in the demo. Additionally, every primetime program from 8-11 pm was up double-digits versus the same day last week and year-to-date average, while CNN and MSNBC suffered double-digit losses. (Note that when final cable news ratings come out, they will vary slightly from the early ratings which are subject to rounding.) Each of the Fox News Channel’s primetime shows also boasted impressive wins over their time-slot competition on MSNBC and CNN, besting the other shows’ combined totals in each hour. In the 8 pm hour, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” drew 3,485,000 total viewers and 584,000 viewers age 25-54. MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” delivered 1,674,000 and 259,000 age 25-54. CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 660” limped into third with 865,000 watchers and 221,000 age 25-54. At 9 pm, “Hannity” delivered 4,303,000 viewers and 778,000 in the age 25-54 demographic with his interview of President Trump. MSNBC's “The Rachel Maddow Show” delivered 2,678,000 total viewers with 432,000 in the 25-54 demo. CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” drew 900,000 total viewers – less than one-quarter of the viewership of “Hannity” -- with 210,000 watchers age 25-54. “The Ingraham Angle” dominated the 10 pm hour, despite airing against CNN’s Town Hall special hosted by Don Lemon. “The Ingraham Angle” delivered 3,268,000 total viewers with 596,000 age 25-54, versus 947,000 and 275,000 for the Lemon/Booker sit-down. MSNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” drew 2,069,000 viewers and 308,000 in the demo. During its much-hyped Town Hall with Booker from 10-11:15 pm, CNN drew 929,000 viewers, while MSNBC’s regularly scheduled programming attracted 2,010,000 watchers. Fox News beat both networks combined with 3,009,000 viewers during the same extended time period. Fox News has dominated in the ratings since Friday's release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report and its findings. Fox News Channel was the most-watched cable network in total day and primetime on Monday. “Hannity” was ranked as the number one cable news show, landing over 4 million total viewers. MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” ranked second with 2.5 million total viewers and CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime” trailed in third with 911,000. Primetime shows “Hannity” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” had more viewers than broadcast network programming on Monday, including CBS News’ Mueller coverage (3 million viewers) and ABC’s “Fix It” (3.9 million viewers). On Friday, Fox News again topped its competitors, averaging 2.3 million total viewers, while MSNBC had 1.7 million views and CNN had 1 million viewers.
