Fox News suspends Andrew Napolitano over British spying claim
Washington Examiner ^ | • 3/20/17 8:39 PM | EDDIE SCARRY (@ESCARRY)

Fox News has indefinitely removed contributor Andrew Napolitano from its programming, following an unsubstantiated claim he made on air last week and that was refuted by U.S. intelligence officials, according to a report.

The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that Napolitano has not made any appearances on Fox since last Thursday.

Same issue Napolitano reported, had been in the press the earlier week. Many commented about it on these threads. It’s not an uncommon method to seek information for intel purposes.

“Hannity is not a man of principle. Nap is.”

You mean like when Napolitano wrote that op-ed in the Washington Times during the general election campaign stating that there was no difference between Trump and Hillary Clinton and made it clear he wasn’t voting for Trump? Forgive me if I prefer Hannity’s principles.

Are you upset that Hannity’s been extremely critical of the GOP Congress, especially for not getting Trump’s agenda and nominees through in a speedy way (”the speed of Trump” he calls it)? Or did you not know that—because it certainly seems like you don’t really listen to what Hannity says? But after all why let the reality that Hannity is more critical of the Republican establishment and has been more supportive of Trump than another other show host on TV (except perhaps Lou Dobbs) get in the way of unfounded attacks on him...But yeah, he would have supported any Republican nominee over Hillary (as the vast majority of conservatives would have), so let’s eat up one of our best champions.

Hannity did not “work on Trump’s campaign”; he is a radio/television personality. But you already knew that. Trump would have won with or without Hannity. In fact the blue collar voters who put Trump over the top absolutely do not fit the profile of Hannity listeners (many of whom were Bush sycophants).

“Only one explanation jealousy.”

Seriously, that is just about the most juveniloid, idiotic line of thinking I have ever seen in my ~10 years in this forum.

I could turn it around, and claim that the only one explanation that you support Hannity is that you are in a romantic relationship with him. I have no proof that that is true, but you have no proof that it is not true.

“He earns his money,and his great credentials,respect.”

LOL!

Wolf Blitzer’s continued employment and rhetoric can be easily explained by considering that he works for an intelligence agency, as does Anderson Cooper, as well as many CIA-trained FAKE NEWS mouthpieces.....

I know, I feel the same way. But God has His own timetable, despite our impatience.

There are going to be twists and turns along the way. There will be shock and disbelief as Luciferians and pedophiles are exposed, on BOTH sides. The Deep State will NOT go down willingly. Therefore, patriots need to steel themselves for epic battles, much prayer, and hope that God will truly heal our nation, at last.

Blessings to you, MM.

Napolitano is good on many subjects, but also lousy on a number of others, esp. pertaining to internal security. You can’t afford to make a major mistake as he did with the British material/issue.

I was just talking to a former undercover operative and we were discussing a radical group that has been around for decades and causing a lot of trouble. My “friend” characterized this group in a way that would get him sued
“in a Marxist minute” because what he said was poorly worded and not legally protected.

Went through this with another friend, former radical who did get his ass sued off because he wrote something so poorly that it just begged for a libel/slander lawsuit, which happened (the object of the characterization was a longtime leftist attorney who was just right of psycho, but he was alert and jumped like a kangaroo in heat.

You have to check your sources not only for accuracy but also for credibility, and if you rely on an “unknown” source for a major pronouncement, you could be “toast”

Judge, you want butter on your butt?

Amen on that. If there was ever a swamp rat Gorelick fits the bill. Apparently she is close with Kushner. I can’t say I care for that arrangement with Jared (long time Dem) and Ivanka in the White House although no one asked me. This all smells to me of too much insider drama and nepotism and potential for back stabbing and leaks.

The Judge always seemed like a straight shooter. Some things will get straight shooters turned into pariahs by insiders if they cross the wrong paths.

My concern is that the left has spent years destroying our national culture with PC, open borders, illegal immig, and multi-culturalism and oligarch leftist elites taking advantage of crony capitalism pretending to be benevolent. They will do anything to prevent Trump from changing any of it.

Although I must add, none of this Gorelick situation does anything to diminish my trust in President Trump.

Surprisingly, a sober and reasoned source of what has been reliable information since November is John Batchelor’s radio show ...

Is this true? Almost hard to believe. He was insufferable during the runup to the primaries in the fall of 2015. Haven't listened to him in a long while.

New York State GOPers come and go but Batchelor has been an unchanging constant for too many years to count. He is the stereotype of the upturned nose Hoi polloi hating WSJ reading elitists.

Did Kudlow corner him at a cocktail party and beat some sense into him?

You don’t like the message—shoot the messenger. Something is going on here folks and it stinks to high heaven. The Judge didn’t make this up!

...that was refuted by U.S. intelligence officials, according to a report...amongst all the dis- and misinformation and outright lies, one fact stands out - nothing has been "refuted" - when Comey today said he had no information to support Trump's claim that he was tapped, he only failed to confirm Trump's claim - he did not refute it - prove it false - same with what the Judge said.....

I will not watch Bob Beckel .. I just automatically change the channel .. I’d rather watch paint dry.

Fox has several of these landmines who should be avoided: Bob Beckel, Bernie Goldberg, Geraldo Rivera to name just three. I can't believe there are so many people in this thread acting surprised about Fox FNC-FBC. They are not our friends ( with bare exceptions of Hannity, Dobbs, Tucker ).

DNC-TV ... CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,PBS
GOPe-TV ... Fox

If the two parties themselves set about creating their own network TV channels they would be pale imitations of the above. They already exist!

In a sane world none of them would be allowed to operate in the USA because they hold a government sanctioned monopoly position on those channels ( meaning if you or I tried to block their signal and transmit on their channels we would be prosecuted by FedGov ). Their monopoly allows them direct access, like a catheter, into the consciousness of the American psyche. From there they can create the daily news at will. It is beyond Orwellian.

The solution could be to use the same rules that prohibit airing of subliminal messaging and pornography to ban partisan politics on Television, period. Place back-breaking fines on violations and prison for repeat offenders. This would easily be self-regulating because every (D)ummy who spots (R) propaganda would report it, and vice versa.

They can operate websites and stand on soapboxes like the rest of us. This would level the playing field. But no-one should have direct unimpeded access to the mainstream of thought like they do and be able to hide behind the First Amendment to boot.

Well this really sucks. One more reason to NOT watch FNC I guess.

Even the hour or so in the morning has gotten kind of weird.

I kept wondering why they never had him on to at least explain himself. Now I know.
