We should be outraged by Fox and its apologists
The Washington Compost ^ | MARCH 13, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 03/13/2019 7:00:08 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Newly released recordings of Tucker Carlson — the third set made public in as many days — feature the prominent Fox News host joking about having sex with a teenage beauty pageant contestant. In the tapes, Carlson also makes a series of sexist, misogynist and cruel remarks about the young woman, who was a contestant in a 2007 Miss Teen USA competition. . . . The unearthed audio is the latest in a series of tumultuous revelations that began Sunday, when Media Matters released audio of Carlson degrading women and flippantly discussing child rape in old radio interviews. On Monday, the group published more audio, this time revealing racist and homophobic remarks he made on the same radio program, which he apparently called in to for an hour every week.

Carlson labels critics a “mob” and refuses to apologize for or even disown comments which include calling Iraqis ““semiliterate primitive monkeys" and women “primative.”

This comes in the wake of Fox News management issuing a slap on the wrist, but leaving on the air, Jeanine Pirro after her grotesque and un-American accusation regarding Rep. Ilan Omar (R-Minn.) “Think about it: Omar wears a hijab,” Pirro said. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

While a Muslim producer on Bret Baier’s news show admonished Pirro, we’ve yet to hear denunciations let alone calls from for these figures to be taken off the air ,from the “straight news” anchors who complained about Fox’s ostracism from Democratic debates.

Has Rubin ever written an article from a politically conservative perspective. I know she is the Washing Poo’s house conservative, but fair suck of the sav

Yeah, that could be.

In most states 16 is considered adult when it comes to consenting to sex.

I have started to read quite a few JR articles on FR and have never seen one that even remotely resembled a conservative POV. They don’t even seem moderately liberal to me.

We are at war with them. They’ll never understand until they are utterly defeated.

Jennifer Rubin is a “Rubin sandwich” short its rye bread, cole slaw, Russian (horrors) dressing, corned beef and Swiss cheese).

In plain English, she is a “Nothing burger”, an “empty suit”, or as we say in the Old Country, F*cking insane.

But that’s just one sane man’s observations.

Most of mine (that were female) were middle aged meh or just nearing retirement age. The only one that was close to being fairly young was a high-strung type who reminded me of an aunt, ugh.

#37. I had a French woman substitute in an 8th grade detention class. Guys were trying to get into detention just to see her, not to get out.

She was a beautiful, sweet woman who didn’t take our detention (me, for some friendly roughhousing on the playground). We just talked about things.

She is “embedded in my mind” as a teenager’s live dream.

The next day in detention we got Himmler’s daughter. Wanna see the scars?

Meanwhile they print almost verbatim the Media Matters press releases, who have their own apologists.

Tucker made the "mistake" of attacking Media Matters and revealing its Soros-backed agenda. It's one of the nastiest leftist propaganda mills in D.C. You're absolutely right -- the Post and many other media outlets accept David Brock's swill without challenge.

Rubin uses all the buzz words of the far left. I just don’t get it how she is called a conservative commentator. She has zero in common with my political beliefs and people who know me think I am pretty solidly conservative. Is she a conservative masquerading as a radical leftie, or a leftie masquerading as a conservative. Chicken or egg.

All of mine could’ve been members of the Kennel Club. That’s why when all these sex-with-teacher scandals took off in the ‘90s, I kept wondering where these teachers were hiding themselves when I was in school.

Jebbifer (sp. intentional) Rubin has always been a Bush League Republican and Cheap Labor Express propagandist.

Apologists? Is someone apologizing for FOX. Nothing to apologize for except the stable of leftists they keep.

[Fox did not back up Judge Jeanine.
Telling the truth about Islam]

There are too many who have the opinion that islam is a peaceful “religion”.. it isn’t! Their goal is to change every country to islam. They should not be allowed into our country... they do not assimilate, they dominate and inch by inch, they take over.

Another article here today claims to have busted a Media Matters guy for having a racist blog years ago. Tucker nailed the guy for this.

“Telling the truth about Islam isn’t even allowed on Fox.”

We were on a cruise ship last week in a lounge and a snooty, pretentious, affected middle-aged couple sat down behind us. By their conversation we gathered they’re college professors or similar.

Snooty wife reads aloud from her tablet the “news” from MSNBC. They “sniff sniff” and “tut tut” about it. Then Hubby says, shocked and almost embarrassed, “I watched Fox News for a while this morning, and they actually report news!”. We cracked up. Since MSNBC, et al., ONLY bash Trump, they must be used to not hearing anything else.

So, although Fox has been corrupted in our eyes, apparently it’s still better than the other big stations.

“Where is AG Barr?”

Probably still taking his queues from the Bush family. Don’t be holdin’ your breath for him to be any more effective than Sessions.

Every time I see Jennifer Ruben, I am reminded that some village is missing its mule.
