1. Very professional. Well done. k&r n/t

-Laelth

[Goodheart]

2. In the past week he's tweeted for the firing of a journalist from each of CNN, MSNBC, and now Fox.

[BComplex]

4. If only those journalists would call back for the firing of the president...THEN we would have

"freedom of the press" and freedom FROM the pres.

[FM123]

13. "freedom of the press" and freedom FROM the pres."

Perfect choice of words!

[BComplex]

14. ...

[Different Drummer]

30. A socially-distant high five for "freedom FROM the pres."

[BComplex]

31. Amen.

[reACTIONary]

47. +100 ...

Well said.

[moondust]

10. And he suggested that the Atlantic magazine

"was probably not going to be around much longer..."

Which sounds like it may be one of those signals to his thugs, as explained by Michael Cohen.

[ancianita]

20. He's also signalling what he'll do if he wins -- smash journalism, jail journalists and control

American media, newspaper and book publishing, the second rule of fascist authoritarians' playbook.

[durablend]

38. Very likely he'll do that if he *loses*

That's what everyone needs to worry about.

[kentuck]

3. This is a game changer!

If he loses FOX News, he cannot recover.

[BComplex]

15. Right wing extremists will not allow Rupert Murdock to turn against trump: they'd lose their viewers

They'd lose their viewers to that new freak site One America News Network....you know, the network who thinks democrats are breeding with reptilian aliens, and whose offspring are sexually abusing and eating children in the basement of pizza parlors?

[SergeStorms]

21. Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham et al.

will still carry the Trump water. As a matter of fact, as I was thumbing through channels last night, I came across Laura Ingraham in FOX with the chyron below reading, "A Biden/Harris administration would ruin the Department of Justice." I kid you not. I exploded and turned off the damned TV.

[BComplex]

24. I saw that!! My husband wanted to go over & look at fox propaganda (over my protests)

After I saw that, I said..."I think I'll go in the other room and read my book..."

I couldn't stand to watch that crap channel. I heard him change the channel very shortly.

[greblach]

39. Avatar

guess I need to change my avatar, sorry SergeStorms...

[SergeStorms]

45. There's quite a few Frank avatars around here.

No one ever had, or will ever have, claim to Frank's genius. Keep it the way it is. And a belated welcome to DU to you, greblach!

[Evolve Dammit]

56. It is an alternate reality based on constant lies. Started with Limbaugh over 30 years ago.

The place I worked in 1989 had a Chevette with only an AM radio, so I would try to find something to listen to. I heard Limbaugh for the first time. After a few minutes, I thought, "Who is this asshole???" Since then, the "model" has been replicated by hundreds if not thousands of "conservatives" on the airwaves and cable TV. There is nothing "conservative" about them, in the true original sense of ideology. They want to destroy government unless they control it, enrich white people, make gobs of cash on things like incarceration and countless money grubbing schemes and to hell with everyone else. And Drumpf awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this year, in recognition of the millions successfully brainwashed for life (now generationally).

[greblach]

37. With no basement

with no basement

[BComplex]

40. Exactly. Doing this in a basement that doesn't exist.

[gratuitous]

5. "Unimpeachable" sources

Hee, hee, hee.

[DonaldsRump]

6. Unlike Trump!

[Blue Owl]

8. There it is

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Quite Sure It Was Intentional!

Good for her!

[malaise]

28. As in perfect

[tanyev]

7. Bam!

[RKP5637]

9. I would have a hard time not simply telling him to go to hell. n/t

[mnmoderatedem]

43. tell him to say hello to his mom and dad when he gets there (nt)

[RKP5637]

49. Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Andy823]

11. Well trump always wants to know

"who" the sources are so he can slander them and make stuff up to try and discredit them so nobody will believe what they say.

[kentuck]

12. Right!

If someone tells the truth about him, they instantly become an enemy.

[BComplex]

32. It's all those "thugs" dressed in black, swarming airplanes.

The man has snakes in his head.

[33taw]

16. I believe he knows who they are. There are limited options as to who was present.

I’d like them to stand up and deliver. I am sick of anonymous sources.

[smirkymonkey]

17. He simply can't bear it when anyone reports the truth about him.

The man has a bizarre aversion to the truth and anyone who speaks it. I don't have a lot of faith in Fox, but I really hope they stand behind Ms. Griffin for having the bravery to report on this story and to finally try to wake up the deluded masses who watch that joke of a network.

[certainot]

18. trump mentions breitbart - a putin outlet used to take over from drudge as major web source

for team limbaugh

33. Ok. I know this is way off topic, but remember when kleenex boxes looked good like that one?

Now they look like someone tossed their cookies.



Ok...back to the topic.

[LittleGirl]

34. Yes! Part of the decor, color wise with pretty flowers! eom

[BComplex]

35. I know! Now you don't want to have them out in public at your house.

The new boxes are so frikkin' ugly.

[LittleGirl]

36. They are! Lol eom

[Kitchari]

25. Her answer is perfect, plus she gets

Extra points for "unimpeachable"

[yaesu]

26. Fox news helped create the monster and keep him in power, they will continue to replace Democracy

with fascism as long as they are allowed to spread their poison. Glad they let a few truths out from a cesspool of 24/7 lies.

[George II]

27. "Unimpeachable"! I love it.

[efhmc]

42. Made the same comment on Twitter.

[MerryBlooms]

29. Smackdown!

[sarcasmo]

41. Right on Jennifer Friffin.

[NewJeffCT]

44. Isn't Team Trump always whining about "Cancel Culture"

but, it's donny that wants to cancel Griffin?

[Illumination]

46. You go Jennifer! Shake up that Fox News! Please clean up the rest of the lies...

[Cha]

48. Perfect! Rt.. TY JG & Nd..

50. And this is fucking FOX

tRump has really managed to blow the castle. Now let's finish this critical country saving task...

[radius777]

51. Fox may be hedging their bets.

If Donnie goes down they need to be able to say 'some of us saw this coming'.

Trump needs to lose badly for the GOP to move to the center - and for Fox to as well (remember it is a feedback loop). Only then could I see them start to call out stuff like Qanon, the alt-right, etc. The business Repubs and money men won't accept electoral irrelevance, which is quickly approaching with the demographic trends, with states like Texas trending blue.

[Jarqui]

52. Here's video of her report

[Nexus2]

53. Mr. Someone told me something at some time loves to whine about anonymous sources

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. Many people are saying

He’s an assrocket.

[The Wizard]

54. Trump is suggesting

All news must be filtered through Trump before it's reported. There's no nice way to say Nazi.
