Ellen Barkin Attacks Fox News, Calls Its Correspondents Liars

Ellen Barkin lashes out at Fox News in a recent interview, accusing the network of "blatant lying."

The outspoken Barkin has a reputation for candor, whether in person or on her Twitter account, and her take on the News Corp. entity is no exception.

She tells the Los Angeles Times magazine, "Well, we’re experiencing divisiveness in terms of our politics. Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of...I don’t know...News Corp, maybe?

"They have identified themselves with this extremist, right-wing insurgency of a party—this Tea Party. They call it a grassroots movement. Grassroots? You’re attached to the wrong ship. And that just shows you the enormous—and don’t misquote me here!—the enormous success that has killed us in terms of Fox News."

Barkin then attacks the channel for lacking journalistic integrity, "The blatant lying that passes itself off as journalism. I don’t even need to get there to go mental. Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson -- Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw -- just lying on the news? Let alone the entertainment factor -- you know, news as entertainment."

Looks to me like she is in serious need of a stool softener, or at least, to eat more fiber.

Funny, I always thought she was hot, in sort of a quirky way. But while waiting for The Herminator last night on Jimmie Kimmel, I turned on Leno and she came on. What a whackadoodle ditz!!! Lost all sex appeal. She was rambling about her 27000 insta-friends from Twitter that she now has. Sounded to me like a lonely washed up has-been. I actually felt pity for her.

So after seeing that, this solidifies the truth of the package - lonely has-been with typical worldly/Hollywood perspective of black is white and white is black polar opposite distortions of reality.

OK, here it is:

Every time Elly Barkin swoons,
Her knockers pop out like balloons.
..But her agent stands by
..Dollar signs in his eye
And lifts them back in with warm spoons.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk

I notice how they always claim “lies!” but never give any examples.

This is just another dimwit liberal skank who got by on her looks for a few years, now is all used up and irrelevant and is angry about it and wants to lash out.

The only movie I remember her making that was big was Sea of Love! Always thought she looked a little rough, very hard looking!

Ellen Barkin? I remember the name. Didn’t she used to be in the movies back in the ‘60s?

Just keep her away from the hot lamps. She could melt.

This is just the kind of leftist thinking/non thinking that will land her a new movie/TV role. Count on it.
She will be the new darling of the Hollywood left.

Walter Cronkite-- Lied Nightly when he read from a teleprompter. One of his biggest lies was the Tet offensive

Dan Rather-- Lied nightly when he read from the teleprompter. Biggest lie, forgery of GWB Guard records

Tom Brokaw--- Lied nightly when he read from the teleprompter. Biggest lie, exclaiming that their is no bias in journalism.

This chick must miss the days of making movies with Pacino. The senile wench is clinging onto relevancy in the hopes of producers rewarding her for the stupidity she is spewing.
