Roger Stone and David Ferrie the same person?

With many big-name conservative commentators vigorously opposed to — or, at least, highly skeptical of — Donald Trump, cable news channels have looked to the end of the bench for articulate, telegenic supporters of the Republican presidential front-runner.
Who outside Boston had heard of Adriana Cohen before she accused Ted Cruz's former communications director, live on CNN last month, of sleeping with the Texas senator? And who, since season one of "The Apprentice," had cared what Omarosa Manigault said, until she made an off-the-wall remark about Fox News Channel contributor Tamara Holder's "big boobs" during an interview on Fox Business Network in February?
In other words: A good Trump surrogate — or at least one who won't send a TV segment careening off the rails — can be hard to find. Media outlets aren't really in a position to scratch names off an already-short list.
So it's pretty remarkable that two of the three major cable news channels have blacklisted Roger Stone, the veteran Republican strategist who is one of Trump's most vocal allies and who had been a regular television presence.
CNN banned Stone in February, after he tweeted sexist, racist comments about two of the network's on-air personalities. On Monday, MSNBC edited out a Stone interview that was part of that day's episode of "With All Due Respect," a weekday program that airs earlier on Bloomberg TV. The Stone interview was included in Bloomberg's broadcast but cut from MSNBC's. The liberal press watchdog group Media Matters was first to flag the edit.
An MSNBC spokesman said in an email to The Fix that "Roger Stone will not be a guest on MSNBC because of his now very well-known offensive comments."

He might say something against Cruz, who is now Protected by the Media/Uniparty.
Or maybe its because Stone has taken to threatening the delegates.
I can remember when censorship was a bad thing because it flew in the face of freedom of speech. Maybe Mr. Stone should sue for violation of civil rights.
For a bunch of ‘tolerant’ liberals, they sure aren’t very tolerant. Their opinion of Stone matters, but Stone’s opinions don’t?
And that’s why cable tv makes zero money off of me. You all have a vote, too.
They really have to ask that question?
Roger Stone and David Ferrie the same person?
Had to look that one up.
Maybe, just maybe, Mr. Trump neither needs nor wants this loose canon speaking on his behalf.
Roger causes quite a stir with his Twitter account.
Certainly Stone’s penchant for wild conspiracy theories that make Jesse Ventura look sane by comparison has nothing to do with it...
Yep. But he isn't going away quietly.
If you read the piece you would know why. CNN is siding with their reporters, unlike FNC and Breitbart.
Because he’s a low-life political operative?
I don’t remember Lee Atwater making very many media appearances either.
Ah, yes, Ferrie brings back memories of the New Orleans bunch during the Kennedy Assassination.
Didn’t Trump fire Stone a month into the campaign?
Why do they always call Stone a Trump advisor or ally.
Because the media is controlled by the White Hut?
But it’s ok for CNN political commentator to publicly announce that she is going to start and keep the blacklist of anyone supporting Trump.
Bias much? Again, the dishonest media. Trump is the only one calling them out on their BS. (I’m sorry, “BS” = “rhetoric” in media-speak.)

Because he’s a jackass? Because he’s threatened delegates not inclined to vote for Trump?
