14. If it's balance they want, they should start reporting about the Summer Zervos lawsuit.
Fri May 8, 2020, 08:17 PM
May 2020

A five-judge panel in Manhattan just ruled that Summer Zervos could go forward with her lawsuit, claiming that Trump groped and kissed her against her will, and defamed her by publicly calling her a liar. This is an active sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit, corporate media should have Zervos and her attorneys on every single time they report on the Reade accusation.

"The 3-to-2 ruling upholds a lower-court decision from a year ago that similarly concluded the president could be sued in state court while in office for actions unrelated to his official duties." Justice Dianne T. Renwick wrote for the majority: “The current sitting president attempts to shield himself from consequences for his alleged unofficial misconduct by relying upon the constitutional protection of the presidency. We reject defendant President Trump’s argument."

Never was, never will be. I don't watch cable news any more, but they have been all in on every GOP slime-script from Al Gore's lock box, Howard Dean's scream, John Kerry's swift boaters, Barack Obama with Reverend Wright, and of course Hillary's emails, and Benghazi, and...whatever. There is no low they will not go...and that's just Presidential campaigns. My God it's their job to join in with every GOP mad-dog attack, and create a perception to excuse anything...including the reasoning for wars.

She referenced a paper trail coming out now and this is not going away.

I think the paper trail is the bad check record in California but Ali made it sound like it was from the Senate papers.

Paint her yellow.

she's talking about the ex husband who said she was dealing with sexual harassment in Biden's office and then some sort of deal was made according to her with the chief of staff.

Of course, that's not actual evidence that happened, it's just evidence she told her husband that's what happened...which is different from what she told other people or is saying now.

Fri May 8, 2020, 08:28 PM

Ali referenced 1996 with the ex, not 1993

Tara was probably fired in 1993 because of her bad check charges. The deal she made with Biden's COS was probably that if she left quietly and did not apply for a job in the public sector or with anyone in the legislature they would not put anything negative in her permanent record.

It’s documentation of a here say claim. There as yet has been no documentation of a complaint or deal. She was kiting checks, so she is not terribly credible as here say witness.

simply explaining what it was.

It "corroborates" that she told her husband that someone in the Biden office harassed her. At most, that's all it does.

Why do they keep this nonsense going??? Now, she is claiming Biden told her he wanted to f*** her when he pushed her up against the wall! I guess now she remembers that lit tidbit! She has inserted herself into this election in order to rip the Democratic Party apart! There is no story! She is so angry that she is not apart of Joe Biden’s entourage that she will do and say ANYTHING to get his attention!

Maher was taking it seriously. Sigh.. Thank Goodness it's the "dems" shouldn't.. but none who I've heard of aren't really Dems in the first place.

He obviously has studied all the info out there and not trying gaslight like Hayes and Kornacki.

Has always been better, at least since they ditched Lou Dobbs in their prime-time lineup.

I start with them on Sirius during my morning commuute, try to catch the noon show with John King (The best political reporter in the game, imo), and then back with them at 4:30 with Tapper and Blitzer on my way home. Most nights I'll catch some combination of Cooper and Cuomo. Burnett and Lemon are good too, I just don't usually watch the news during those hours but sometimes I do and they are great. Basically you can turn it on when they start and go all the way through the end of the night and not have to deal with an anchor who's off the rails. Their biggest issue issue is that they still give airtime to some really terrible surrogates, but it is what it is.

Just burying a story that IS important is wrong, and isn’t journalism. Not that MSNBC is really journalism in the straight reportage sense; they have and admit a left leaning bias.

But if she’s only given air on Fox and Megyn Kelly’s interview and in propaganda videos then they control the narrative completely.

And he did an okay job. Nothing new and not emotionally distorted in the way Mika seemed to do.
