ivoox also carries his podcast. Like they said about Chickenman, “He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere!”
Preview:
A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Good news everyone! We don’t have to worry about Kevin McCarthy turning over 44,000 hours of January 6 Video to Tucker Carlson. Because Tucker has promised Kevin that he won’t use any of the sensitive stuff that could get congressmen or senators or Vice Presidents killed next time. And we know how we can trust Tucker Carlson! Just look at all those Carlson texts from the Dominion defamation suit! His word is the coin of the realm. Provided the realm in question is Russia.
Perhaps never before in American history has their been such a pairing of Political Scum with Media Scum as McCarthy and Carlson. And McCarthy’s response to the criticism of his unprecedented and indefensible act: “It almost seems like the press is jealous … He’ll have an exclusive. Then I’ll give it out to the entire country.” And McCarthy’s henchman in this sleazy nightmare turns out to be Barry Loudermilk, the Georgia Congressman caught ON the January 5-6 video giving at least one January 6th defendant a tour of security checkpoints.
There are still steps the Biden Administration and the Democrats can do to stop this farce. It stops with ending access to all representatives of all NewsCorp employees, for the simple reason that Fox News [sic] and its cousins are NOT news organizations. I’m not holding my breath.
B-Block (21:45) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The Fools on the Hill: Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene humiliate themselves during congressional hearings, while trying to play “gotcha” with people smarter than they are.
x Greene: Reading levels dropped by 2 points
Greene: There is one million five hundred and twenty-four, five hundred and twenty-four and four hundred eighty-one thou— this is over one million pic.twitter.com/7bqNwFnEbn — Acyn (@Acyn) February 28, 2023
And Ron DeSantis does his Huey Long impersonation by banning Trump supporters from his book signing. The name of that book? The Courage to Be Free
(26:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Chris Licht again, this time for putting on an ex-Norfolk Southern lobbyist to comment on the Norfolk Southern disaster;
CHRIS LICHT EATS PASTE!!!
How could you possibly misspell Jackie Robinson’s name? And help us: NYC has elected a messianic theocrat as mayor. Eric Adams goes nuts — again.
(Yes, that’s the real name … And typing it game me diabetes.)
(33:55) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The Fox News [sic]/NewsCorp perfidy is not limited to television. When the TV arm of the octopus is criticized and threatened, the Murdoch monster uses the print arms to try to strangle the opponent. When a right wing would-be terrorist sent fake anthrax to me and a dozen other liberals, the FBI asked me — and all news organizations — to keep it quiet just for a day. Murdoch’s New York Post not only refused, but wrote the story concluding that the person to blame here was … me.
