49. How do you know? Strange that she's been appearing on MSNBC

Apr 2017

if she's still working for Murdoch.

http://www.showbiz411.com/2017/02/14/msnbc-can-thank-rupert-murdoch-for-new-anti-trump-contributor-louise-mensch

Rupert Murdoch brought former MP Louise Mensch to New York from London to create a new conservative website called Heat Street. But once Louise got here, she became a rabid liberal, endorsing Hillary Clinton and attacking Donald Trump and all his cronies. She gets good stuff, too. So in January Murdoch’s people removed Louise from Heat Street. It’s unclear if she’s still with News Corp, but now she’s appearing on MSNBC, going after Trump and co. with a vengeance. I like her more and more each day. I hope News Corp is still paying her, because the whole thing is a hoot. PS Her husband manages rockers AC/DC.

Louise Mensh blocked me on twitter [View all] sarah FAILIN Apr 2017 OP

She basically blocks anyone who doesn't have a verified account bettyellen Apr 2017 #1

I thought verified accounts were just for famous people? BainsBane Apr 2017 #14

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology? She doesn't like masked people from what I underwtand bettyellen Apr 2017 #21

I'm not sure how they make the determination of "famous people" but yes Warren DeMontague Apr 2017 #22

No you just put in your email...and they verify it by sending you an Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #30

So I could pretend to be Donald Trump BainsBane Apr 2017 #31

I have been told it has to be your email. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #55

for fun, many people pretend to be Donald. But he has such thin skin you have to make new accounts Sunlei Apr 2017 #87

I don't think so. Julian Assange was whining about not being able to get verified and Karoli seaglass Apr 2017 #78

Assange is a Russian operative and I despise him...don't care. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #79

Lol. my point is that it takes more than an email address to become verified. n/t seaglass Apr 2017 #83

That is all I was asked to provide and then I clicked on the link and presto... Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #88
