Jane Pauley's corrupt fawning over Hillary

CNS News  "For anyone who doubts the daily double standard of the news media, just look up CBS show episodes from Sunday, Sept. 10.

"Up first, "Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley softly and sweetly served one puffball after another to Hillary Clinton for her book-tour kickoff. " . . .
"Pauley tenderly asked questions like "How are you?" and "Can we talk about Election Day?"

"Clinton blamed her defeat on a heavy dose of "sexism and misogyny" and blamed Trump for exploiting "a nostalgia that would give hope, comfort, settle grievances, for millions of people who were upset about gains that were made by others."

"Pauley facilitated: "What you're saying is millions of white people." Clinton agreed. "Millions of white people, yeah," she said. Pauley moved on. "And then there were the Russians," she said.

"The "roughest" patch came when Pauley intoned, "But there were serious self-inflicted wounds, too." She vaguely suggested it was time for Clinton to talk about the emails. Then, she lamented that Clinton's excuses for her decisions with emails "never satisfied critics or the press."

"The press won't even challenge Clinton on the ludicrous idea that the press heavily favored Donald Trump in 2016. No one with eyes or ears should buy that nonsense." . . .

Maxine Waters Wants Trump ‘Imprisoned’ And ‘Placed In Solitary Confinement’

Daily Caller  "Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters wants to see President Donald Trump locked up behind bars and in solitary confinement.
The congresswoman on Tuesday cited Trump’s comments about the intelligence community whistleblower as reason to imprison the president. The president said at a Sept. 26 event that White House officials who provided the whistleblower with information were “close to a spy,” adding that “spies and treason” in the “old days” were treated “a little differently than we do now.”

“ 'I’m calling on the GOP to stop Trump’s filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies & using mob language implying they should be killed. Impeachment is not good enough for Trump. He needs to be imprisoned & placed in solitary confinement. But for now, impeachment is the imperative,” Waters wrote on Twitter.

Stephanopoulos to Schiff: If what Trump said was so bad, why make up dialogue?

Hot Air  "Kudos to George Stephanopoulos for asking the obvious question after last week’s stunt at the House Intelligence Committee — although Adam Schiff seemed surprised by it. “If the facts are as damning as you say,” ABC’s This Week host asked, “why make up dialog for dramatic effect, even if it’s a parody, as you say?”

"See Also: China celebrates 70 years of communist dictatorship

Schiff never gets around to actually answering that question, nor does he have one for another of Stephanopoulos’ questions (via Twitchy):
. . . "Instead, we got parody … the precise thing into which is what Schiff has transformed himself over the past two years. It would be a lot easier to take anything Schiff says seriously if he hadn’t destroyed his credibility by claiming for two years that he’d seen objective evidence of Trump colluding with Russian intelligence, only to have Robert Mueller confirm that no such evidence exists. This is a case of derangement, and Schiff just made it even more public in his opening statement — so much so that Stephanopoulos had no choice but to point out the obvious.
"It’s not as if the Zelensky call isn’t troublesome and doesn’t raise questions about Rudy Giuliani’s activities in Ukraine. It does, however, make it clear that Schiff can’t conduct a credible investigation into it. It’s certainly not evidence for impeachment, except perhaps as parody.
"Speaking of which, here’s the other question from Stephanopoulos that Schiff couldn’t quite answer:" . . .

Hillary! She's baaaaak! UPDATED!

Who Ordered This Clinton Comeback Tour  . . . "Asked by Jane Pauley of CBS News if she thought it would be harder for a woman to defeat Trump next year, the former secretary of state said that she didn’t think so. “Look, there were many funny things that happened in my election that will not happen again. And I’m hoping that both the public and press understand the way Trump plays the game,” she said.
Clinton implies that Trump stole or rigged the election — elsewhere in the interview, she refers to him as “an illegitimate president” — and that this explains her loss.

 

“ 'You know, Jane, it was like applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado,” she added. Corrupt! Human! Tornado! An astonishing turn of phrase that she apparently thought worth repeating this morning:" . . .

Clinton’s showed no interest in running for president again. But if this is her version of a comeback, a new grab for relevance right when a prominent former Democratic candidate for president might be a useful campaigner for someone else, it’s going to backfire. All she’s doing is making herself radioactive.

Hillary Clinton's big comeback begins Tuesday  "Media attention will intensify on Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. The former first lady, senator, secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate is ready for another round in the public arena. She has a new book arriving, written with the help of a very close relative. Behold. Here comes “The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience” — all 464 pages of it.

"Indeed, the new book of essays now landing on the shelves is written by Mrs. Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton, is published by Simon & Schuster. Some informed observers speculate the book could be yet another indicator — along with increased public appearances and commentary — that Mrs. Clinton pines for a political comeback."
"What kind of comeback? Oh, maybe the bumper stickers will read BIDEN/CLINTON 2020, WARREN/CLINTON 2020 — or even CLINTON/CLINTON 2020. Who the heck knows?
“ 'Word on the political street now is the rumbling that the impeachment probe launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be the crack that opens the door for another presidential run by Hillary Clinton. This time, the thinking goes, Hillary would be running with vindication that the 2016 election was ‘stolen’ from her and she can ascend in 2020 to reclaim the mantle for her party and the majority of the country that voted for her,” writes Nate Ashworth, editor in chief of Election Central." . . .

Hillary Clinton ‘Communes’ with the Spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt (Snopes) . . . "While many media outlets reported that Woodward’s book documented Clinton holding seances and “speaking to the dead,” Dr. Jean Houston, the advisor who worked with Clinton during these “imaginary chats,” said that the exercise was more akin to brainstorming than a religious ritual: . . .  How Hillary’s Seances Led Democrats To Embrace The Occult

Clinton discussed her admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s affair in a Sunday interview, saying, “It can be gutsy” for the wife to stay in the marriage." . . .

UPDATE:  Hillary: No one told me about this shocking, “godforsaken” obstacle in 2016, or something  . . . “ 'And now the godforsaken Electoral College”? Just as a reminder, the Electoral College has been the method of electing American presidents since 1789. It’s not a secret that the overall popular vote does not matter for presidential elections, especially since 2000’s Bush-Gore contest. Is it too much to ask that presidential candidates familiarize themselves with the 237-year-old instructions for American governance before running for office?"  . . . Shame on Jane Pauley of CBS for her fawning over this woman.

How much do Democrats and the press hate President Trump? Six Comittees worth

Pelosi’s Six-Committee Impeachment Investigation  So, Nancy Pelosi got spooked by rumors about a suppressed whistleblower complaint and may have jumped the gun, announcing the beginning of an equally undefined impeachment investigation by six House committees. Talk about a shotgun response!

The real issue, at least for political junkies with a sense of history, is whether or not this will turn out to be an “action-forcing event” equivalent to Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre (or even to revelations about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky). 

"On the surface, the impeachment investigations of Nixon and Trump are quite similar. In each case, the president was already under immense pressure, with a partisan media in full pursuit. When each story broke, there was dominating, explosive coverage — with every talking head predicting imminent disaster — that goaded the Congress into taking immediate, forceful action. Of course, with Nixon in particular, the stories seemed to pan out. As things now stand, that does not appear to be the case with Trump.

 

"First, the Saturday Night Massacre, in which President Nixon ordered the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, triggering resignations of his attorney general and deputy attorney general, who were unwilling to carry out his orders. Robert Bork, as solicitor general the third in line at the Department of Justice, did carry out the president’s order — forever ruining any chance of his being confirmed as an associate justice on the Supreme Court.. . . .

The Media’s No Good, Really Bad, Terrible Two Weeks   "There’s a really bad song called “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by a really bad band named Green Day.

When the faux-punk outfit released the comically emo, radio-friendly single in 2004, they had no way of knowing that it would serve as the soundtrack for the American mainstream media’s unraveling some 15 years later. After all, the last half of September was a rough couple of weeks for the press; perhaps no period in modern history has witnessed such a staggering amount of journalistic malfeasance. 

 

"It’s a play more or less in three acts, a slapstick tragedy so absurdly avoidable that it borders on comedy. And it begins, as so many journalistic tragedies do, at the New York Times.

 

"pparently still bitter that the first press-led character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh failed to stop his confirmation to the highest court in the land, the Gray Lady doubled down on September 14 by teasing a book by Times writers Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly." . . .

 

A letter emerged late on Monday from the Australian government that directly disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that claimed that President Donald Trump “pushed” Australia to help Attorney General William Barr investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation  . . .
. . . " Trump said of Barr: “And I hope he looks at the U.K., and I hope he looks at Australia, and I hope he looks at Ukraine. I hope he looks at everything because there was a hoax that was perpetrated on our country.' "

 

Thunbergians become tools in the hands of climateers

 

Greta Thunberg: Human Shield for Climate Profiteers  "I must disagree up front with the overt criticism and vilification of Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old actress (and daughter and granddaughter of actors) who looks as though she being manipulated — and fed her lines — by adult climate profiteers and alarmists who know full well what they are doing.
"I watched her speech to the United Nations; her facial expressions and emotions come across as rehearsed and fabricated, much like those of an inexperienced thespian trying to play a difficult role.  Even experienced actors who lack special training cannot, for example, portray convincing villains because it is clear that their gestures and emotions are rehearsed as opposed to genuine.
"A skilled actor who knows the story can often improvise a performance for a specific scene even if he has not been given a script for it.  "Greta Thunberg without a script to read from" suggests, on the other hand, that she does not really know the story and cannot play her role without a script.  She punts at the end by saying, "I think you should give some questions to the others as well.'
