Srsly tho, it is pretty amazing Kimmel hasn’t gotten more blowback from all The Man Show content.  

Agreed, but I am guessing in part because he will just own it vs hiding around it.

Tucker Carlson tonight was covering the hot topics of the day.  The base eats it up.  Pruitt, schmruitt.  It's Soros time!

 

Tucker Carlson is a cunt who should be imprisoned for treason.  His BS is just as slanted as the shit you see on RT.  Fuck him with to death with the rustiest of dildos.

FOX News is PBS compared to Sinclair.

Sinclair commentator resigns after crude tweet about Parkland survivor David Hogg

A conservative commentator at a Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned television station in St. Louis has resigned after a statement he made threatening to sexually assault David Hogg drew harsh criticism and sparked the beginnings of an advertiser boycott.

Jamie Allman, who hosts a nightly news show on KDNL, a Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in St. Louis, as well as a morning FM radio show, wrote on Twitter that he was “hanging out getting ready,” to sexually assault David Hogg with “a hot poker.”

“Busy working. Preparing,” read the March 26 tweet, which is too vulgar to print here in full. An image of it was published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, as the remark began to draw more scrutiny in recent days.

Advertisers, including Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, St. Louis health center Palm Health, and local real estate office the Gellman Team, announced they would stop advertising on Allman’s shows, spurred on by activists who took to social media to highlight the commentator’s remarks, as well as Democratic state lawmaker Stacey Newman and others.

“We have accepted Mr. Allman’s resignation, and his show has been canceled,” said Ronn Torossian, chief executive of the PR firm 5W, who is acting as a Sinclair spokesman, said in response to questions sent to the media company by The Washington Post.

It represented the potential of yet another public relations crisis for Sinclair, which has come under harsh criticism in recent weeks after a video of dozens of its anchors reading the same mandated script about “fake stories” went viral.

Sinclair, the Maryland-based media company, is the largest owner of local television stations in the country, with 173 stations in 81 broadcast markets. It has come under intense scrutiny, as it awaits federal approval for a takeover of another media company, for injecting what many feel is a conservative bias into local news coverage. Its proposed buyout of Tribune Media, for which it needs approval from the FCC and the Justice Department, would bring its coverage into the homes of as many as 70 percent of American households.

Compared to Ingraham’s remark, Allman’s statement, with the overt threat of sexualized violence, was an attack of a different magnitude, though he is not a national media figure like Ingraham.

Allman’s television show appears to fit into the conservative-inflected programming for which Sinclair has become known. He often trumpets pro-Trump and conservative lines, assailing media coverage of the president, lambasting liberals and Democrats for seeming “to be all about one thing, shutting down people they disagree with.”

Quote

The British offices of the Murdoch entertainment empire 21st Century Fox have been raided by investigators from the European Commission, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

It is understood that competition watchdogs gained access to the company’s offices in Hammersmith, west London, early today to seize documents and computer records. 

The precise nature of the confidential investigation, which is believed to be in its early stages, is unclear. The building is home to Fox Networks, the company’s channels business.

As homophobic as most conservatives are, it's kinda funny that most of their go-to threats and insults involve explicit references to penises and/or anal penetration, like those are the first things that pop into their heads.

I thought that name looked familiar. Must be something in the water in St. Louis. He's on the same radio station that Dana Loesch (now w NRA) used to be on.

These dipshits walk a fine line these days.  That's exactly the type of 'red meat' rhetoric the deplorable base loves, but these days it cuts both ways.  They can also be out on their ass.  I'll bet dollars to donuts many a right win pundit is thinking twice about what they say - for many this may be the first time that's ever happened.

Is this real?

Never mind that both #1 and #2 on that list have been investigated more than anyone in history.

It appears to be a reordering of a list the NRA sent out earlier that day as well.  So yeah, this is the right wing echo chamber view of who should be in jail.

If his point is that Trump is being treated unfairly, I disagree.

If his point is that Clinton (and many other politicans in the past) are given partial treatment, then okay.

Trump is one of the few politicians being given fair treatment with respect to investigation.  Most just get the lip service of an investigation to be handed a clean bill of health.

Bush and Cheney managed not to go to prison for war crimes. Nixon never spent a day in jail. Reagan Alzheimered his way out of being found complicit in Iran-Contra and there's no way in hell former director of the CIA Bush 41 didn't know what was going on. No one is getting away with anything more than the Republicans.
