First:
Fuck you, Bill Barr, you lying anti American Bloated Hemorrhoid.
Fuck you Savannah Guthrie, you softball tossing tosser.
Between Guthrie and Holt, NBC is doing a great job of fellating Barr and the whole GOP.

(7,849 posts)the 20's and 30's (some 40's) don't watch the alphabet channels...in fact, they don't watch tv at all...they "live" online..visiting like-minded websites...and the white's only party that rails against their friends and family: persons of color, muslim, Jews, native Americans, asians, LGBTQ...that party disgusts them...they've had it with Trump and his depraved insanity, his callous disregard for human life...they've lost years of their lives, friends and family...they see Barr as evil, an extension of Trump...they won't buy the Trump insider tell-all screeds.. Guthrie and Holt and the rest of the establishment MSM can kiss Barr's fat ass...they younger generation has tuned out...

Excerpt...
Epstein, who was charged last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York with sex trafficking with sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking, was a 20 year old college drop-out when he was hired to teach at Dalton by the schools headmaster Donald Barr in the mid 1970s. Donald Barr was the father of current United States Attorney General William Barr, who is currently overseeing Epsteins prosecution.
According to at least one former student, Dalton alums have long joked about Barrs hiring of Epstein..
The joke has been [that] this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton, said Harry Segal, a 1974 graduate who is now a senior lecturer at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College, in an interview with the Huffington Post. Epstein-Barr is a type of herpes virus best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.
Scott Spizer, who graduated in 1976, said that Epstein was most remembered for his persistent attention on teenage girls in the hallways, recalled a night when the young educator showed up at a party where Dalton students were drinking.
I can remember thinking at the time, This is wrong, Spizer said in an interview with the New York Times.

(20,629 posts)Barr shows himself to be just another one of those, "I love the policies - I just wish he wouldn't Tweet so much" types. Yes, he no longer Tweets, but he achieves the same thing with his "statements".
he said he'd vote for trump again over a Democrat.
He said in this interview that he thought Democratic policies were the biggest threat facing
America.
Seriously. You've got an insurrection and that's what you think the biggest threat facing the country is?

(8,820 posts)went to war with NPR, they have been extremely Republican compliant in all their news and interviews.....
NPR was told by Gingrich that they at least had to go with a "he said, she said" format or the Repubs would pull their Federal money.
Their support of the Republicans allowed them to keep the funding, but was a wholesale sellout to all viewers.........
NPR is in the same crowd as NBC, CBS, ABC, etc etc
The only reason that MSNBC allows Rachel and a couple of others is because if there is one thing a Republican station values more than the Republican Party is cash money in their pocket. Rachel, lawrence, and a few others bring MSNBC a TON of money, so they will put up with the leftist stuff for an hour or two, but the other 22 hours a day they could easily be confused with Fox News. Same for CNN most of the time..........

He would have to tell the truth.
Otherwise, he would just pretend that he didn't understand the meaning of the word "suggest". And he would obfuscate all day long. That's all any of these guys do.

I'm sure she's blue blood and Oxford educated or something, but she seems like such a lightweight dummy (from the few times I've watched her in the past).

(82,849 posts)They might lose their precious access to Bill Barr! And then how could we possibly get the Federalist Society legal gloss on the Republicans' rampant fascism?
Lester Holt had some interview footage with Barr, which wasn't much better. They'd get his lying-ass take on something, then do a cutaway to explain why he was such a lying liar, but Holt didn't do any fact-checking in real time right to Barr's insipid self-satisfied mug.
