During Tuesday night’s election coverage on ABC News, Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Radditz appeared to be overcome by emotion when discussing the emerging reality that Donald Trump would soon be the commander-in-chief of the United States military.

When asked by anchor (and former Clinton confidante) George Stephanopoulos about Radditz’ passed interactions with Trump about her interactions with Trump during the campaign and she began to relay a story about VP candidate Tim Kaine’s son, an active duty Marine:

Megyn Kelly was horrible last night. The coverage was almost impossible to watch, the few times we left Fox business to see what else was going on.

Fox under her, was stilted and awkward....Never seen anything like it. It was just uncomfortable to sit through for very long.

Nasty snarky twit.

So your autocorrect swaps in an ‘i’ for the ‘a’ too. I thought it was just my phone that did that. :=)

He won, Martha, and so did America.

Get over it.

That’s because it really is all about her. She’s like a 45-year-old woman who never emotionally matured beyond the age of six. If she’s not the center of the TV universe, things are going to get very ugly.

Watching FNC last night, I cringed when Kelly tried to make a joke or insert herself into the analysis. Her hatred for Trump couldn’t be more apparent and you could see that some of the other anchors and pundits (including former boyfriend Brit Hume) were getting a little impatient.

Memo to Bill Shine at FNC. I know you’re trying to keep your next generation “star” happy, but if you look around, no one is trying to out-bid Fox for her services. Let her accept your offer, or explore her (increasingly) limited options elsewhere. If she bolts, install Martha McCallum or bring back Greta van Susteren. Problem solved.

Bret Baier is more than capable of anchoring solo and many of their analysts are very good with some exceptions.

Unfortunately, this is the FNC of the “younger Murdochs” who view CNN as the ideal. Fox Business has assumed FNC’s old mantle.

I watched Fox Business and they were gleeful, especially Lou Dobbs. Kennedy was actually quite entertaining.

I remember how unprofessional Megyn Kelly was during the 2012 Election Night coverage - as soon as it was clear Obama was having a good night, she acted giddy and cutesy as if she was co-hosting Entertainment Tonight.

I resolved NOT to watch Fox last night.

Martha Raditz tried to carve a little niche for herself as a military reporter. IIRC she was embedded with troops during the Iraq war.

She tried to build up credibility with the military and the public by filing objective-sounding reports, full of ersatz emotion and empathy for our military personnel.

But along with her chicken feed, she snuck in the chicken sh*t. I.e. her leftist propaganda. She fooled some people, e.g. Laura Ingraham, for a long time. I was onto her game from the git-go.

Radditzy is consumed with the pathos of Kaine not trusting the general overseeing his son. I am 100% sure that Kaine’s statement was politically motivated. Radditzy demonstrated conclusively she is an intellectual dimwit.

It’s really ironic, but I felt that ABC had the best coverage of all the outlets last night, in spite of George Stephanopoulos having previously worked for the Clintons.

Watching Martha Radfitz lose it was one of the humerous highlights of the evening!

Van Jones was equally pathetic. (I actually did see his eyes moist up) All he could talk about was how all his black, muslim, hispanic friends were feeling scared right now about a Trump presidency. It was a beautiful thing.

“I resolved NOT to watch Fox last night. “

We didn’t. OANN did a much better job.

I’ve read Georgie Steffie’s wife told a reporter, if Donald
Trump wins the election, they will move to Australia. I’ll send them a penny to help with the move.
