What I Learned About Media Rage After Getting Fired From Fox
Politico ^ | August 28, 2022 | Chris Stirewalt

Posted on 09/03/2022 8:44:06 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

My first meeting in Roger Ailes’ boardroom of doom was on Election Day 2010.

At the time, I was the network’s new political editor. Republicans were poised to deliver a serious walloping to President Barack Obama and roll back the Democrats’ doughty majorities in both houses of Congress. The GOP was in a position to score major wins in governors’ mansions and statehouses from coast to coast.

The second floor of the News Corp headquarters on Sixth Avenue in New York was a hive of excited optimism. With Republicans looking forward to big wins, we knew viewership would be enormous that night. I was invited to the regular afternoon executive meeting for the first time so I could lay out the expectations we had on the Decision Desk and the politics team for what would transpire that night. I had only been with the company for about four months, and I was sweating it hard as I sat there at the far end from Ailes at a conference table roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. The meeting was packed. Not only were executives from New York crowding in, but people like my boss Bill Sammon, who would have ordinarily joined the afternoon meeting by phone, were attending in person.

He was a hack at Fox. Now a hack for Politico.

Stirewalt and Arnon Mishkin were high ranking individuals that were proxy to the steal. They knew months before the election that Biden was “selected” by the Deep State to become the Puppet President.

Their biggest mistake was that the steal was such an over-the-top, in-your-face brazen election theft that now everyone knows that “consent of the governed” is a lie. How many previous presidents were also puppets to the deep state? You cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Now Stirewalt and Mishkin’s days are numbered. A year from now, the coup plotters will all be facing a firing squad at GITMO.

Chrissy girl is pimping a book and I regret to admit that I read the entire excerpt.

This fat pig is full of patronizing, condescending, soothing sounding words.

Stirewalt is the white, fat version of Harold Ford, Junior.

The demonRAT bastard that pats your back, picks your pocket, bangs your girl friend and then pisses down your leg and tells you it's raining, all the while smiling and pretending to be your best pal.

I hate them both, except smiling harry ford has more people fooled and is way more dangerous.

I watch the Five {DVR} and prefer jessica, the skank bitch with the terrible screech because she is right out in the open, while smooth harry keeps up his "I have a different point of view" bullshit as he constantly changes the story line and normally they let him skate.

Every so often Greg cannot take his obvious lies and pure bullshit and jumps him, but harry lets it slide off of his back as if it were a complement instead of a complaint.

The FIVE and Gutfeld are the two FNC shows that I DVR and watch and sometimes I watch Tucker.

My life became calmer without so many hours of TV {of any kind} and when I need a fix, I go to Newsmax, not Fox.

I've cut way back with on line posts and reading blogs, and have spent more time out doors.

I did watch Trump last night and he was on his game and did his usual great job of pumping Mastriano and Oz, Mastriano is a very good public speaker while OZ has multiple years of TV and can read his lines.

Both should win in PA.

That right there, was the election CRIME committed by Fox - much more so than calling Arizona.

Very overlooked fact.

Fox interfered with an election, committed a fraud, flipped congress and irreparably fk’d our nation over. “We did it.”

They seriously need to be held criminally liable, but won’t.

The author starts out by admitting that Fox News was throwing out generous numbers because those predictions were bait to their targeted audience but by the end of the piece, his tone shifts blame to the audience for having unrealistic expectations.

Yep, the Arizona call sucked and was way too early but at least it was “correct”(if you believe the count from Maricopa). But the totally wrong call that Nancy and the gang had not only held on but we’re going to increase their majority in the House was a blatant attempt to effect the house races still being voted on. Prior to that I would watch Fox News quite often, now I never turn it on.

“Fox called with people still in line to vote. If I am not mistaken, they called it before the polls closed which if true, that is totally irresponsible.”

You are mistaken. They called it at 8:20pm, polls had closed at 7pm.

In some countries, it's illegal. It should be illegal here.
