Despite their news division’s abhorrent attempt to ensure Trump returns to the White House.

He’s declared war on the United States, and he wants us all to make him Commander-in-Chief.

In her latest Orwellian blast at America, she questions whether  the robust employment numbers are actually a good thing.

Why didn’t Fox fire Bartiromo, even after she cost them millions in defamation damages? The very wealthy, self-styled fishwife did as much as ludicrous, loathesome Tucker to spread the Big Lie about the 2020 election. Yet she remains in place. It’s another key to the sick funhouse of Fox, where personal relationships to the ruling, authoritarian Murdoch family mean more than anything else.

As Kevin Drum wrote in Mother Jones in 2021, “It is Fox News that has torched the American political system over the past two decades, and it is Fox News that we have to continue to fight.”

Trump belches more attacks at Jack Smith, this time for exposing the delay & dismiss game that Judge Cannon is playing, devised undoubtedly by her and Trump’s attorneys.

This is the caliber of judge that Trump, McConnell, and the GOP-at- large inflicted on America. They could have given us genuinely conservative jurists. Instead they gave us ethically compromised right-wing radicals, all the way up to the Supreme Court.

confronts us again in all his perverse duplicity via newsreel footage in Gavin Hood’s Official Secrets. His lies and posturing were almost as grotesque as Trump’s. The corporate media fell right into line, functioning for a time practically as a propaganda adjunct of Bush’s White House, as it led this country into a catastrophic war based on sham.

Watchng Official Secrets brings it all back–it was appalling then, and it’s appalling still.

Monstrously unfit and dishonest politicians like GW softened America up for Trump.

A handwritten note to me, postmarked August 10, 1978, from Sir Cecil Beaton: “Tallulah was such a difficult woman to know & liked to put on a different act each time.”

I didn’t know him, don’t know what he was “really” like, but when I called him cold and said I wanted to interview him about Diana Sands, and he said, “It would be my pleasure. . .,” well, you knew why he was a star.

to be publishing James Comer’s heaping hee-haw of lies about President Biden and his imaginary crimes.

Sort of reminds you of the days when old Rupert wanted regulatory “relief” from Congress, and incoming Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was magically offered by HarperCollins a whopping, wholly-unwarranted advance  as part of a two-book deal. 

Biden’s rising in the polls now that he has finally decided to wage a full-frontal response to Trump’s daily dose of defamatory toxin.

Let’s not forget that it was NBC, sexual harrasing Jeff Zzucker, and Christo-fascist producer Mark Burnett who rehabilitated Trump from punchline to putative national success story on The Apprentice.

Now, NBC has just nailed its colors to the mast–as if we had any doubt–by platforming Trump’s coup accomplice Ronna Romney McDaniel.

Without the corporate media, Trump would be a used car salesman in Queens right now.
