Fox Blames Technical Difficulties For Pirro’s Trainwreck Last Night (Not Drunkenness)

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on March 29, 2020 · Flag

There was a lot of speculation online last night that Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was drunk during her show. For what it’s worth, I’m a contrarian on this.

Yes, she appeared disheveled and stumbled through some of her comments but I believe it’s quite possible the problems were due to what Fox News said they were:

“Jeanine Pirro was broadcasting from her home for the first time when she encountered several technical difficulties which impacted the quality of her show, including the loss of a teleprompter. As we have previously said, we are operating with a reduced staff working remotely to ensure the health and safety of our employees in these unprecedented times.”)

Aaron Rupar, of Vox, caught Pirro seeming yes, inebriated.

Mediaite noted that Pirro's name and #DrunkJeanine were trending on Twitter this morning.

But, while I think it’s possible she had a drinky-poo or two, I find it quite plausible that her disoriented state was due to technical problems.

The technical problems were so bad, the newscaster from the previous hour conducted the first interview, with Dr. Deborah Birx, of the White House coronavirus task force.

At any rate, Pirro did not seem at all drunk during her own interviews, in my opinion. So no, I don’t think her inability to conduct that first interview was because she was so schnockered. You can watch Pirro's first interview below. It’s the one on top, with Rep. Steve Scalise.

While I’m hardly a Pirro fan, I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt this time.

You can watch her three interviews below, from the March 28, 2020 Justice with Judge Jeanine.

John McKee, That’s interesting about Gretchen Carlson. Pirro attacked her, insisted her accusations were absurd and that Ailes never sexually harassed anyone.

If I could have a chat with one Fox News person, I would probably pick her. I’m dying to know how her feelings about Fox changed, when they changed, and what she’d say about her role there.

As for Pirro’s hair, I agree with doors17. There are no hair and makeup people working right now or very few.

I suspect that the “judge” had a shot or two of the communion wine. Fortunately she was not interviewing the Orange Clown’s economic adviser Larry Kudlow. His Happy Hour runs 24/7.

- Marsha Blackburn: Blame China for the virus and they should pay the price for that. Yeah, right and I was born yesterday, right ?
- And of course, Blackburn praised our dear leader Trump.

Rather telling tweet from someone who I still loathe with a passion for her participation in the appalling ‘Fox ’n Fiends’ daily propagandalooza. After all, she should know…

@GretchenCarlson

Will another one bite the dust? Let’s just say she’s not one to support other women.

I personally think streaming from home that 5 liter box of chilled Franzia in Pirro’s refrigerator is too much a temptation. But she’s such a lush she probably could drink the entire box and walk a fairly straight line.

So the Chinese should be “held to account” but tRump escapes scrutiny. Gawd , I HATE these people!

To be fair, I think it was more of a case where she didn’t have her hair and makeup professionals to create the magic illusion. I also read that her teleprompter went down forcing her to go without a script.

I was inclined to believe the story too, Ellen, but I can’t remember her ever going on air with her hair messed up. I’ve always assumed she was pretty drunk when she goes on air – I’m just not sure she was drunker than usual. Put me down as a 50:50.
