Fox Psychologist Explores De Blasio’s Subconscious To Blame Him For NYPD Shootings

After Mayor Bill de Blasio lashed out at the media for disproportionately focusing on NYPD-hating protesters, Fox News trotted out psychotherapist Karen Ruskin to delve into de Blasio’s subconscious from afar. And surprise, surprise, surprise! Ruskin concluded the real guilty party is de Blasio, himself. 

Ruskin was at least the second psychotherapist on Fox to attack Democrats over to provide psychoanalysis about the NYPD shootings without benefit of examination yesterday. The first was psychiatrist Keith Ablow who once again plumbed President Obama’s psyche to “reveal” that Obama doesn’t want the police to protect Americans.

On Your World, we got Karen Ruskin, there to offer her “insights” into de Blasio’s inner workings. You may recall Ruskin from a few weeks ago, when she psychoanalyzed the atheist mindset behind an anti-Christmas billboard – and likened it to spousal abuse.

Host Charles Payne set the tone in his introduction when he noted that Ruskin thinks de Blasio should be angry at himself, not the media. “I think we all came to the same conclusion but tell us why we’re right,” Payne said.

Despite never having examined de Blasio, Ruskin nevertheless had no problem “evaluating” his psyche:

RUSKIN: Without interviewing him, do we know with 100% certainty? No. …Can we evaluate? Sure. So when it comes to the human mind, when we react to others, typically, it’s because within our own subconscious mind, we recognize that we’ve overstepped our bounds.

…His conscious mind is repressing so as to avoid from having to really hear the reality of what his subconscious mind is saying. That is quite possibly what is going on because that is not uncommon when it comes to the human mind.

Payne pushed for more. “What’s going on here, is something being hidden? …Is the truth being hidden?”

Ruskin got down to suggesting that what de Blasio is hiding from himself is his guilt in the shooting of the New York City police officers.

RUSKIN: If this particular mayor’s style and approach to being a mayor has been one of not positive about the police, then he stays stuck in this pattern because this has been his consistent platform. But if his subconscious mind is saying, ‘Dude, you know you’ve gone a little too far. This is horrifying what’s happened, look at what’s happened because you’ve played a role in articulating against the police.’ These are men and women who are the protectors of New York, right?

Payne said, “Sure, sure.” Later, Payne prodded Ruskin to overtly state that de Blasio feels guilty or should feel guilty for the shootings: “Maybe he bristles at the idea that there’s blood on his hands," Payne said, "but when it was suggested, he came out with the sort of defense that people say, ‘Hey, maybe you do feel a little guilty.’”

Ruskin went right along.

RUSKIN: Yeah. Look, today’s actions we’re seeing some things that he’s doing, some things that he’s saying that’s leading us even more so to think, perhaps he really is feeling guilty, right?

Ruskin started to discuss what she though would happen if de Blasio’s “actions over time” show that he’s serious about trying to bring the police and community together. "If he role models that position, if he makes a true shift then…" she began.

Payne interrupted. “We gotta leave it there,” he said and quickly ended the segment.

Apparently, Fox didn’t want even a few seconds of a possibility that de Blasio might be able to make things right.

Forgot to add at the end – outlets like Faux and their ilk.

Seriously, where do they find these “psychotherapists”?? And they have a license to treat people??

On a more serious note, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you at the Hounds, bloggers, contributors and posters all. I find it hard to sit through 5 mins. on Faux and talk radio (except for Mark Levin, I find him entertaining in a perverse kind of way), thanks to all of you for providing and stomaching the daily insanity that goes on media outlets.

Seriously? A psychiatrist? The bald pimp and this snarky wench are the best they can do? They found two worthless, under-employed doctors of psychiatry, which can often be considered a field of “crazy” in itself, and they are willing to sell their ethical-soul to go on the hate-network and crucify someone they have never met, analyzed, or even had the smallest bit of contact with. How sad.

This is what the “fox-nonsense network” is all about. Toss shit against the wall, and hope something sticks in the mind of the brain dead, hateful viewers who tune in daily for their dose of stupid.

I think it’s past time for certain medical associations to investigate and revoke certain people’s licenses to practice. Technically, psychologists don’t have medical degrees—that’s the distinction between an “ologist” and an “iatrist”—but the larger point remains. That FoxNoise is relying on persons claiming expertise in mental health issues to proffer diagnoses of people who have never set foot in their offices or sought out their help. That should be a violation of EVERY mental health professionals’ ethics.

Then again, this IS FoxNoise—where ethics only matter for “those people,” never themselves.

Ruskin is a wacko and Chuckie Payne is a dull tool. Don’t waste a lot of words on either of them.

Happy Holidays to all who contribute to NewsHounds.

She looks a little unglued herself.
