Michael T

Learned about you from Richard W. -- @IceManNYR -- on Twitter years ago.

We share so many political & media views.

 


Michael T commented on During Charlottesville protests, Fox’s Kristin Fisher Erases From History Trump’s Refusal To Disavow David Duke 2021-07-10 03:25:16 -0400 · Flag
Now she’s apparently moving to CNN.
That’s just bizarre, Ellen.

Samantha Bee and John Oliver are doing their part to call attention to some serious (in some cases grave) White House methods.
When are @ABC, @CBSNews and @NBCNewsUS going to step up to the plate and halt their preoccupation with appearing biased to their red state viewers?

Did she have a few poppers (i.e., shots of Sambuca) prior to going on camera? There was a slight slurring at times.

I wonder if he’ll use one of his days off for dinner at the Harlem restaurant Sylvia’s. /sarc

Remember the little bigot was so impressed that, "There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea.’ "

Michael T commented on NBC Cancels An Hour Of ‘Today’ To Make Room For Megyn Kelly 2017-01-28 04:37:14 -0500 · Flag
But scooter, Today, MTP and NBC Nightly News are all number one in their time slot (demo ratings).

This hardly qualifies as “sucking”, does it?

Michael T commented on Sarah Palin Claims She Sneaked Phone Calls To Fox During 2008 Campaign 2016-11-08 02:21:19 -0500 · Flag
What’s up w BOR? Is he on new meds? I’m serious. He’s slow talking & slurring his words, misstating facts (Palin did not run 2 yrs ago) and generally sluggish.

Whose this Katie Cure-ick that Harris Faulkner seems to want to discuss? :-)

My tweet…
What genius decided, “Let’s hv campaign speeches by multiple candidates (esp. DT) durng 11-12 hr”? Very strange indeed. #CnnWasBetter

Michael T commented on Donald Trump Is Speaking Warmly About Fox News Again 2015-09-26 19:06:00 -0400 · Flag
Roger Ailes is concerned mostly about ratings.

His shrewd move is his attempt to keep more Trump supporters from bailing on Fox News by giving the impression that he is reaching out to Trump.

What transpires at the meeting is secondary.

“Their BFFs at Mediaite.”

Good one Ellen. You made me laugh. Can’t believe all the conservative commenters at Mediaite who think it is a left-leaning website.

To which I want to respond, “Just because BOR said so doesn’t make it true. Have we not learned about O’Reilly’s penchant for false statements?”

Michael T commented on Megyn Kelly Shouts At Rep. Al Green Over Ferguson And ‘Hands Up’ Protest 2014-12-03 05:44:45 -0500 · Flag
Shame on Megyn Kelly. I erroneously thought she was better than this. If she has read the grand jury transcript, just as many witnesses said his hands were up as those who disagreed.

A shameful intellectually dishonest display indeed.

Michael T commented on Bob Beckel Gives Jesse Watters’ Race Baiting The Finger 2014-11-08 00:35:47 -0500 · Flag
I see Fox News frat boy #2 (behind Tucker Carlson) named Jesse Watters has that Rush-Limbaugh phrase “democat party” down pat just like his mentors, except for Bill O’Reilly who thankfully doesn’t resort to this silliness.

Michael T commented on Fox ‘s Last-Minute Campaign Gift To Republican Scott Brown 2014-11-03 05:27:05 -0500 · Flag
Nate Silver has 8 Dem losses: IA, AK, CO, LA, AR, WV, SD & MT

On the plus side he also has Scott Brown with an 83% chance to lose NH. That’s right, 83% !!!

Michael T commented on Ben Carson Accuses Obama Administration Of Deliberately Depressing The Economy – To Keep People On Social Programs 2014-05-28 02:12:30 -0400 · Flag
Opposing free healthcare shows you the depth of his callous attitude toward the poor and totally undermines any points he was trying to make about disincentivizing people from working.

Michael T commented on Chris Wallace Cites Right Wing Media Research Center Data On "Blackout" Of Catholic Lawsuit News 2012-05-28 14:27:58 -0400 · Flag
I remember living in the deep south in the 1960s. At that time Catholics and the Catholic Church were reviled by the WASP population.

Now you have such a heavy influence at Fox News, whose primary audience is the very people who themselves and/or their ancestors used to absolutely loathe Catholics. :)

I find this turnaround quite humorous. It reminds me of the old axiom, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

It begins with Roger Ailes, whose wife is a Catholic.

Then to the best of my knowledge so are all of these Fox News ‘personalities’:

Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Bret Baier, Steve Doocy, Judge Napolitano, Jeanine Pirro, Eric Bolder, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Neil Cavuto, Brian Kilmeade

What’s next? Hiring ultra conservative Catholic Mel Gibson to be a paid contributor?

Footnote:
BTW, this was written from the perspective of a life-long non-practicing Catholic who admires many of their teachings and charitable work. I’m just not a fan of the hierarchy or what some of their universities are doing.
