https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/18/media/jimmy-finkelstein-the-hill-ukraine/index.html
.... Finkelstein resides at the nexus of President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and John Solomon, the now-former executive at The Hill and current Fox News contributor who pushed conspiracy theories about Ukraine into the public conversation. ....
Finkelstein and (his wife Pamela) Gross are also both close with Giuliani, who currently serves as Trump's personal attorney. Finkelstein often hosts social gatherings at his Hamptons home and, according to a person familiar with the matter, Giuliani and his girlfriend spent multiple weekends at the residence this past summer. ....
"I remember almost immediately thinking, 'Why is he writing?'" the former veteran employee told CNN, noting that Solomon already had earned a reputation for conspiratorial work when he reported on things like the "deep state" for Circa, a now-defunct conservative news website. ....
But Solomon reported directly to Finkelstein, allowing him to bypass the outlet's normal editorial process. ....
One former employee explained that Finkelstein "monitored" The Hill's coverage "to make sure it's not too anti-Trump." Another former employee said he "definitely intervenes in a way that an owner never should." ....

(32,609 posts)saw a header on Fox that said -
Krystal Ball demands that the DNC investigate Joe Biden re: Ukraine.
Cha
(297,123 posts)on Google that she's saying.. "MSNBC is responsible for Joe Biden".
I don't have tv but from what I read on here.. BS had a support team on MSNBC and Biden had his detractors. I'm sure it wasn't black and white but blaming the media doesn't cut it.

(64,990 posts)Is she really a liberal dem, or is she a provacateuse who glommed on to the left?
She gets over her skis so easily, it seems like performance art.

(25,456 posts)I'm a little surprised to see people like her throw Bernie under the bus. It must've been decided that he's no longer useful to depress support for Democrats.

(25,456 posts)"I will never tell you how to vote. If I do, don't listen to me." What he actually said was a lot more ambiguous, and it was during the 2016 primary -- has nothing to do with this election.
