Biden Campaign Urges TV Networks to Stop Booking Giuliani

Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidential campaign contacted top television anchors and networks on Sunday to “demand” that Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, be kept off the air because of what they called his misleading comments about the Biden family and Ukraine.

“We are writing today with grave concern that you continue to book Rudy Giuliani on your air to spread false, debunked conspiracy theories on behalf of Donald Trump,” a pair of top Biden campaign advisers, Anita Dunn and Kate Bedingfield, wrote in the letter.

“Giving Rudy Giuliani valuable time on your air to push these lies in the first place is a disservice to your audience and a disservice to journalism,” the advisers wrote.

The note, which was obtained by The New York Times, was sent to executives and top political anchors at ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC, including star interviewers like Jake Tapper, Chuck Todd and Chris Wallace. Mr. Giuliani could not immediately be reached on Sunday for comment.

Mr. Giuliani has been a ubiquitous presence on television news in recent days, advocating on Mr. Trump’s behalf. He has repeatedly alleged that Mr. Biden, while serving as vice president, intervened in Ukraine to assist his son Hunter Biden’s business interests. No evidence has surfaced that Mr. Biden intentionally tried to help his son in Ukraine.

The Biden campaign argued that Mr. Giuliani’s television appearances had allowed him to mislead the viewing public — and suggested that network journalists had done too little to hold him to account. “While you often fact check his statements in real time during your discussions, that is no longer enough,” the letter said.

Mr. Biden’s advisers have not been shy about offering advice to journalists. Earlier this month,

Since they are so gullible, better to ‘reinvent’ a Jim Jones, use the same line of bull and recruit as many pols as he can and invite them to show ways to screw the public...

The ‘new’ Jim Jones could probably rent out Gitmo and run tours to it.

Buy plenty of Kool Aid stock along with your popcorn shares.

The media better shape up, or Biden will lock them in a closet for hours like he did a reporter at a Florida fundraiser back in 2011.

Giuliani has been shockingly effective in these interviews, totally wrecking the leftist interviews and making a strong case.

It is the worst publicity possible for biden

If you want to see why Biden is terrified of Giuliani appearing on this shows, watch this. Pure gold.

There is a hint of Bidenite fascism/Marxism in the air.

Star interviewers - Tapper, Todd and Wallace? Come on Dems. This is like calling Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny the “star talkers” of the film world.

Tapper and Todd are political pieces of shit and Wallace is all over the place (I have to take a Dramamine just to listen to his wanderings and sly comments).

It’s George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”/”deja vue all over again”.

“All animals are equal but some are MORE EQUAL than others” (meaning communists and Democrats re the First Amendment and free speech only applying to them, not everyone else).

Orwell warned us about “Newspeak” where “peace was war” and “war was peace”. The Democrats have just modernized that concept to where “treason is justified; resistance to treason is not”.

As a card-carrying journalist/researcher for 50 years, I’ve taken on communists, Nazis, fascists, KKK, Arab/PLO operatives, KGB, Liberty Lobby, and the PC crowds.

I have never seen our own politicians in the Democrat Party so far to the Left that Stalin is having a wet dream an hour just seeing his ideology’s success in America today.

The Red Chinese are laughing in their won-ton soup while Iran is thanking Comrade Obama for the $150 BILLION it uses to fund anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Saudi, and anti-western terrorism groups and movements all over the world.

George Orwell would well understand this “Alice in Wonderland” upset world, a world made that way by Tapper, Todd, Wallace, the rest of the leftist mainstream media, a good part of academia, leftist clergy, and morally/ethically and politically corrupt Democrat politicians and voters.

Anita Dunn: One of Obama’s top Marxist/maoist advisors and psychopath (her husband isn’t much better).

Anyone who compares Mother Theresa to Mao as great philosophers (that she followed) is just plain insane.

Mother Theresa helped thousands of people better their lives while Mao took 60 million lives.

There is a difference but DUNN, being a hardcore psycho-Red could care less.

Can you imagine the liberal “outrage” if President Trump urged the DNC toads to stop booking Clintoon or Omar. Better yet, all hell would break loose if President Trump urged the toads to stop booking Gropin’ Joe.
