Murdoch's NY Post has more Melania pics today

[JHB]

Not linking, but it's a nude photo shoot with another woman.

I don't care about the photos, but I'm dying to know WHY Rupert's NY tabloid is going this route.

1. DISTRACTION

tring hard

3. you beat me to it.

2. Because Trump needs the distraction to feel victimized. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

4. How do they reconcile a nude shoot w another woman with outlawing porn, vilifying gays,

And Mike Pence arguing that condoms are of the devil?

To paraphrase Michael Steele, the cognitive dissonance in some circles must be "off the hook"

6. The easiest reconciliation in he world...

"IOKIYAR"

5. Ratings is "WHY Rupert's NY tabloid is going this route" n/t

[RandiFan1290]

7. Because they can't report the polls. nt

8. Simple

It sells!

9. Get the pics out early so they are forgotten by Election Day. Provide distraction from the Khans

Provide distraction from Trump's Viscious attacks on the Khans.

Murdoch loves trump, so publishing of these photos is strategic IMHO

10. Note that Trump hasn't bothered to attack the NY Post in the least.

But has continued to attack the parents of a deceased veteran for the sin of speaking out against him.

This means Trump either authorized the release of the photos himself as a distraction, or at the very least, is proud of the pictures. Because it makes him look desirable. Or maybe he feels it's a way to punish Melania for getting caught plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speeches.

Or maybe it's all of the above.

11. They're all naked under their clothes and I don't need to see a pic to picture it.

But I'm also 35 years past being a teenager, so...
