Savannah Guthrie’s Appalling Amber Heard Interview
The “Today” co-host sat down with Heard for her first interview following her loss in ex Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against her–even though her husband consulted for Team Depp.

.... The week prior, Guthrie disclosed that her husband, Michael Feldman, worked as an adviser for Depp’s legal team during the defamation trial right before launching into an interview with Depp’s attorneys Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew. The interview went viral on Twitter and was met with immediate backlash from users claiming a conflict of interest. ....

“If I was Amber Heard’s publicist or pr person, I probably wouldn’t grant my client’s first major interview with someone who disclosed a conflict of interest,” wrote one Twitter user.

“If Guthrie is to continue to do these interviews, TODAY needs to make much larger disclaimers that Guthrie, through her husband’s consulting gig, was personally enriched by the Depp PR team,” posted another. “The flagrant conflict of interest is so disrespectful to Ms. Heard.”

Journalism experts have since weighed in on the controversy in a Business Insider report, calling the decision for Guthrie to interview Depp’s lawyers “a little nuts” and highlighting a “financial stake,” seeing as how Feldman could be utilized again when Heard seeks to appeal the jury verdict. ....

Media Ignoring Ginni Thomas’ Treason

The press isn’t all that interested in telling the obvious truth about Ginni and Clarence Thomas.

The Sunday morning talk shows sprinted into “gaffe” patrol mode after President Joe Biden made a 9-word, ad-libbed comment in Poland over the weekend about how Vladimir Putin should not be allowed to stay in power in Russia.

On “Meet the Press,” USA Today’s Susan Page emphasized Biden’s comment was “distracting” and “undisciplined.” The assembled pundits spent nearly ten minutes discussion the story, along with a new NBC poll that was bad news for Biden. (Inflation!)

What was mostly ignored by the round table was the blockbuster story about Virginia (Ginni) Thomas, wife of right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She had been texting unhinged QAnon-like messages to Trump’s chief of staff after the 2020 election, strategizing and urging that Biden’s victory be overturned, saving America from “the end of Liberty.” The NBC pundits on Sunday spent 45 seconds discussing that story.

Like when Trump was recently caught smuggling boxes of top-secret documents out of the White House, the Beltway press is treating Ginni Thomas’ seditious assault on democracy as a middling story; one that will likely receive little or no new coverage in coming days.

The revelation that Thomas’ plugged-in wife who enjoyed easy access to the Trump White House hoped that “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators … will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition,” came just after Republican Senators used QAnon signaling during the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. She was smeared as a child pornography apologist.

“Meet the Press” was hardly alone in sleepwalking past the Ginni Thomas story, which represents another GOP direct assault on democracy and election integrity. “ABC This Week”s’ round table spent ten minutes dissecting Biden’s Putin “gaffe,” and just three minutes acknowledging the Supreme Court’s stunning setback in terms of its reputation for fairness. (The Court’s already at its lowest standing ever.)

Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal has yet to run a single page-one piece on the Thomas story and how she accused the “Left” of “attempting the greatest Heist of our History,” and complained about being “disgusted” with Vice President Mike Pence for approving the 2020 election results.
