Thanks for Nothing: Foxs Jeanine Pirro Goes Off, Ends Segment After Guest Says Bidens Making America Great AgainBy Ken Meyer Mar 21st, 2021, 9:16 am
Fox News Jeanine Pirro ended a segment Saturday after going off on a guest for invoking Donald Trumps catchphrase to say President Joe Biden is making America great again.
Immigration attorney David Leopold appeared on Justice with Judge Jeanine Saturday night, where the two of them instantly collided over the Biden administrations response to the situation on the U.S. southern border. Much of this sparring match revolved around Leopold and Pirro debating whether the current migrant surge is on track to top a surge that America saw during Trumps administration.
Jeanine, just because you say my numbers are wrong, doesnt mean theyre wrong, Leopold argued.
Pirro shot back, No. Theyre facts. These are the facts, which caused Leopold to counter by saying, They are not facts. Very few things I heard on this show tonight have been facts.

(18,581 posts)That's her real trigger. "Head explodes" doesn't even begin...
For those who don't remember, she ran against her for the senate seat in NY and Pirro took it personal. Fox felt for her and hired her as a consolation prize, like when the losing team goes to the Dairy Queen.

Honestly? We need to get that station canceled!
I know, cancel culture but Rush is dead. We need to silence that whole news network. Yesterday

(7,592 posts)The companies whose ads run on fox, I mean and informing them their products will be boycotted if they don't pull them. Like the Flush Rush campaign. Often, the company didn't even know their ads were running on fox.
Not sure how effective this will be long term because I have a feeling fox news will be subsidized even if they run at a loss because it's all about the GrOPers well coordinated effort to transform the country into a RW, theocratic dictatorship and people like the Kochs and Murdock have ungawdly amounts of money to help make that happen.
It's frightening how coordinated and all encompassing their efforts are and how successful they've been at brainwashing damn near half the nation.. We're way behind on things like; plans and efforts to promote progressive government and policy but yet we've somehow been able to take over the House, Senate and Presidency.With better messaging there's just no telling how awesome we could be!

Cutting the fees they are able to charge would put them out of business.

(7,592 posts)Whereas they didn't always have MSNBC as a choice in basic cable. Just drove back and forth from Florida to California by different routes and there's large swaths of our country where RW hate radio and Fox news on the tube was all that existed. Now throw in OAN and recently constant ads for Newsmax where you're urged to hound your cable company to carry it.
The PTB are aggressively implementing the Powell Memo's plan.

calimary
(80,700 posts)She doesnt talk to you. She beats you with her loud, slow, purposefully slow presentation. Kinda like Ted Cruzs schtick - BIGASS pauses between words and phrases. Its for effect. Allows him to glance around to make sure hes got everybodys attention. Pausing like that is a technique. To get your attention. Like a moment of dead air on the radio. Suddenly EVERYBODY notices and is paying close attention in case it was a mistake or your system lost signal or other technical hiccup.
Its a calculated device. And when you either have the floor (in his case) or the studio to yourself with no guests (in her case), you dont have to worry that somebody else is gonna jump in on one of those gaps and take over the podium.
I find her schtick offensive and a MASSIVE turn-off. And she compounds it by leaning in and never taking her gaze off the camera to further command your undivided attention.
Thats a device, too. Another kind of DROP WHAT YOURE DOING AND LOOK AT ME, DAMMIT! schtick.

(11,535 posts)I've only seen her one the Web (No Faux access here), and close the tab very promptly.
Your analysis seems right on the money, though...from what I've seen. And it totally makes sense, given the personalities (?) of the two.

She needs to take care, however, she's already being sued. The Dominion and Smartatic suits are going to be trouble for her (and others).

(5,121 posts)So to GET a NEWS designation, they need to PROVE they USE FACTS on a regular basis with a less than 5% margin of error with immediate retraction when that happens.
SPEWS can do whatever they want, but the CAN'T CALL THEMSELVES NEWS.
They get the Entertainment/Opinion/Infotainment logo so people KNOW they are PRONE to FACTUAL ERRORS.
