I think it's important to note that no one - almost literally, maybe 6000 people or so - pays attention to Rick Newman.

 

"Yahoo Finance Columnist," for God's sake.  What's his day job?

 

Baking gay cupcakes that he refuses to sell to cis-gendered Caucasians, angrily demanding that they must take their "white privilege" elsewhere?

 

Well, either that or anal probe training dummy when Tom Brady, agent of aliens, isn't available.

Jim Acosta on Facing Jeering Mob at Trump Rally: ‘It Felt Like We Weren’t in America Anymore’

 

“My sense of it is that these opinions these folks have at these rallies, they’re shaped by what they see in the primetime hours of Fox News and what they hear from some conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things we do over here at CNN,” Acosta told Cupp.  “It’s very unfortunate. But it’s a pitting of American against American and honestly, it needs to stop.”

How can a member of the #Resistance (CNN is the epicenter along with the WaPo) a newspaper btw, that proclaimed on day 1 of the Trump era "democracy dies in darkness," complain about people being whipped into a frenzy and say it with a straight face?

On July 26, the News and Documentary Emmy Award nominations were announced, and PBS topped the list with 45 nominations. CBS led the broadcast networks with 31 nods, followed by CNN and HBO with 22 each, and ABC with 20. MSNBC got 5. Vice News got nine. Al-Jazeera International USA got five. And The New York Times got seven -- for videos! Even the liberal website Vox got three. The Fox News channel, which leads in cable-news viewership year after year after year, got none. Raise your hand if you're surprised.

OH: NY Dem Governor Attacks Media For Asking Tough Questions.

When you hear about a politician verbally attacking a member of the media the story is supposed to be about President Trump, right? (And to be fair, he certainly does more than his fair share of it.)

 

But this story, which you’re unlikely to hear much about unless you live in New York, isn’t about Trump. It’s about New York Governor (and 2020 presidential hopeful) Andrew Cuomo. During a press conference yesterday, NY1 reporter Zack Fink had the temerity to ask the Governor a question about the latest in a series of campaign finance scandals embroiling Cuomo and whether or not he planned to return some large and very dodgy donations. While he didn’t invoke the dreaded “fake news” claim, Cuomo did go after Fink’s employer, accusing them of fraud, and then went on to seemingly try to implicate the reporter himself in the company’s troubles. (Huffington Post).

 

 

 

That’s different because shut up.

You know what's really funny? Everyone on the left is coming to her aid, arguing that the white supremacists are the ones calling out her older tweets.'

 

Even the NYT released a statement that they were satisfied she was not going to use her racism in her articles.

 

In other words, what she wrote is perfectly acceptable to the NYT, and pretty much everyone on the left, because she's the victim here.

Then there is the Left's hilarious response...............Oh but you crazy Right-Wingers objected when Kevin Williamson was fired from The Atlantic for his prior writings,

 

you CAN'T honestly want Jeong fired....................if so, you are hypocrites.

 

 

................The problem is her posts are racist....................his were pro-life......................Nice try though.

It's not racist if it's against white people.

 

She's a goddamned hero! She deserves a purple heart.

Amazing hypocrisy by the left in every way, shape and form.

 

Problem is the Democrats will probably take over the House or the Senate (maybe both) and it's going to get even uglier when this happens.

Really...the acid test in this case is: change "white" to "black."  Is it offensive then?  And those defending her would say "Yes, absolutely, in all cases, without exception."  And she would never work again.

Surely someone has to be capitalizing on the abundance of dumb things people said on Twitter years ago. I saw several baseball players got nailed. There must be professional Twitter miners out there that dig up old skeletons from people's closets.

Now making the Twitter rounds is this article by NYT opinion writer agreeing about Roseanne being fired for her racist tweet, and arguing it should be about the totality of her work.

 

Quote

 

This is not a “one bad tweet” issue. In March, I argued that Kevin Williamson, the conservative writer briefly hired by The Atlantic, should be judged by the totality of his work, not by a vile tweet (and, as it later turned out, a discussion on a podcast) in which he seemed to suggest that women who get abortions should be hanged.

 

Williamson insists his comments were misunderstood, but that’s another story. The relevant question here is: What’s the “totality” of Barr’s work, at least when it comes to political and racial questions? John Podhoretz, the editor of Commentary magazine, summed it up perfectly when he described Barr as “a boor,” a “notorious believer and propagator of conspiracy theories related to 9/11,” and, in all, “not merely a loose cannon but a MIRVed ICBM ready to go off in all directions at any time.”

 

Barr’s tweet about Jarrett, in other words, wasn’t the odd needle in the haystack. It was the last straw.

 

 

I guess we'll wait to hear what the writer thinks about the new racist the NYT just hired.
