VAN SUSTEREN on Morning Scabs uttered "fair and balanced" (fare UNbalanced) - lying *then* or NOW?!1

ex-FauxPropagandaNetwork’s Greta VAN SUSTEREN debuts today on MSRNC and had the chutzpah to use the Faux slogan “Fair and Balanced” (which I’ve always called: FARE UNbalanced).

So the question for her is: Were you being fair’n’balanced THEN or are you being fair’n’balanced NOW?!


It's only been days since her deal was finalized and the debut is really fast, yet she was rehearsing in a whole new set last night, she said, so it's not like she's thinking through a whole new mindset of a different show. As proof of her Fare Unbalanced, she's hosting ONE Valerie JARRETT and two or more wingnuts.

Another question for her, is your definition of "fair and balanced" as defined by AILES (all-wingnut to "balance" the rest of the media) the same or different?!1 Her using the phrase would be like Alaric saying he was restoring "The Republic" in Rome.

MSNBC picked a Fox News reject with a history of sliming Gretchen Carlson.

Yes, I saw that segment on Useful Idiot Joe this morning.

during the mid-day hours? But then they went with Michael Savage WIENER, Pat BUCHANAN, and for some reason have made a special niche for plagiarist BARNICLE all these years. They have just never been able to get themselves a clear vision of what they want to do and they seem to look around at what has worked for somebody else and Pasted a Copy of that other formula without the conviction of that other formula.


*******ON EDIT, BanFIELD, not "Bancroft"!1 On further Edit, even messed up the banD-field!1 The first time my helpful brain was associating my love affair with Anne BANCROFT. The second time my still helpful brain was just... never mind.

That story has legs and is going to dog Trump/Pence for a long time.

the bits of the circus I see. I furiously boycotted starting in Campaign 2012, and only started up again in bits just to monitor their pandering to DRUMPF. The biggest change was their self-satisfaction and complacency with their "influence" on the in-crowd in D.C. and this includes how BARNICLE has way gotten over his early (in years) shame about his career flaws and now is kow-towed to. I understood how back when he was saved by Jack WELCH's patronage.
