MSM Cuts Kellyanne Conway from Sunday Shows

[MineralMan]

She's not on any of them this week. My suggestion is that all major media companies simply refuse to allow her on their programs from here on out. She consistently talks over interviewers, lies, and obfuscates. Answering questions is something she avoids doing in every interview, preferring to try to change the subject so she can avoid a relevant response.

If every major news program simply refused to have her on camera, we'd all get a break from her annoyingly nasal voice and word salad responses.

Email the news department of the networks you regularly watch and request that they not put her on the air hereafter. Let's have a permanent break from having to look at her.

[chillfactor]

2. AMEN!

any time that "alternative facts" nutcase appears on my TV screen, I turn the channel.

[onlyadream]

37. ME too

Why bother watching when it's all lies and just infuriates me.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. Just when I was starting to appreciate her strange "Baghdad Bob" approach

and litany of alternative facts, imaginary history.

[rurallib]

33. lots more Baghdad Bobs where that one came from!

[Watalapan]

52. It's an insult

For Baghdad bob

[Iggo]

59. In a way, I kinda felt sorry for old Baghdad Bob.

His life literally depended on it.

KAC's just in it for the cheese.

[ThreeGs]

68. So does this make KAC ...

"Baghdad Barbie"? She had the uniform for it.
Or is that considered sexist? Hard to tell anymore.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

71. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I like this one, though..

[Glamrock]

76. That's hilarious!

[Lotusflower70]

79. Omg!

That's funny and brutal at the same time.

[Wounded Bear]

4. About 20 months too late...

[MineralMan]

5. Better late than never.

I'm sick of looking at her and hearing her blather on irrelevantly when asked a question. I'm sure the news people feel the same. If we communicate with them, perhaps they'll have different people on and skip her.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Agreed...nt

[cilla4progress]

38. I don't know about that

They seemed rather obsequious to me for a long time. Stephanie Miller played a video of Chris Cuomo sucking up to her. I've seen it on the other news programs as well.

[librechik]

7. let's keep her around for awhile and ruthlessly mock her.

It may not be as easy with the next professional liar they send out.

[MineralMan]

8. I've seen enough of her for the rest of my life.

Enough! Basta!

[librechik]

12. i resemble that remark.

she should go away now. But they will send out somebody worse, you'll see.

[MineralMan]

14. I can't imagine who, really.

You've probably noticed that Steve Bannon doesn't make a lot of TV appearances. I don't know who would be more annoying than dear Kellyanne, or as someone called her yesterday, "Sewer Rat Barbie."

[librechik]

16. none of these folks are prominent in their fields--some annoying nobody with

an IQ of Trump minus one will appear until he too stumbles offstage. This caper was put together haphazardly on Trump's end. Putin is the competent one.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Bannon is not photogenic, he is downright scary looking and they know it.

I just wish most of America knew this about him, and this was 3 years ago, not 30

Plus I think most women when they see this wife beater, know instinctively what he is, at least I hope so. The wife beater thing is public record.

[Alternative Facts]

70. text version of Leninist & disaster

Thanks for the link Eliot. I re-typed so I could use it with links. Maybe someone else could use it.

Steve Bannon Nov. 12, 2013
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/22/steve-bannon-trump-s-top-guy-told-me-he-was-a-leninist.html

"I'm a Leninist," Bannon proudly proclaimed. Shocked, I asked him what he meant.

"Lenin," he answered, "wanted to destroy the state, and that's my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroying all of today's establishment."

Donald Trump Feb 10, 2014

2min mark

"Now, you know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell, and everything is a disaster. Then you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be, when we were great."

Keep listening for some sweet Putin & Russia loving.

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. President Bannon can't pull off the con as easily as Conway.

He exposes his CRAZY more quickly and MUST hide behind officialdom in order to be an effective lunatic.

[2naSalit]

39. Kind of like this...

[yonder]

73. exactly

Lately, I've been thinking bannon being Wormtongue. The bannon/con photo at top, suggests battle of the Wormtongues.

[2naSalit]

75. Battle of the Wormtongues...

and I suspect that they are the tip of an ominous iceberg.

[Baconator]

30. Someone competent...

As long as it's her, she keeps spewing ammo for the other side.

[MineralMan]

32. I don't think there's anyone like that on the Trump team.

[Baconator]

34. Not now...

... But maybe in the future.

[MineralMan]

43. Perhaps that future will be very brief.

One can hope, eh? Eventually, even the Republicans will recognize that Donald Trump should not be in the White House. When that happens, they will impeach him and install Pence.

[calimary]

67. Welcome to DU, Baconator!

As long as she's on, keeping up with her schtick, it just makes the lying that much more glaring. She's becoming annoying. I watch clips of her and if they're eight minutes or 12 minutes or how-ever long, I'm usually rolling my eyeballs and looking for the exits before she's a minute in.

I HOPE the MSM is closing the door on her. I've seen others posting here that as soon as she comes on, they switch the channel. I'm with them. TOTAL TURN-OFF Barbie.

[calimary]

66. I freakin' LOVE "Sewer Rat Barbie"! How 'bout "Baghdad Barbie" to go along with "Baghdad Bob"?

They're Soulmates-of-Shit-Spew for sure.

[uponit7771]

82. I like Baghdad Barbie better... Cuts right into what she does

[calimary]

87. My husband just came up with a new one: Telly-cam CONjob.

Roll cameras, and watch her start lying.

[uponit7771]

88. +1

[calimary]

65. Well, we all know what to do then, don't we?

POUND on them, then, too! Give 'em the "Kellyanne treatment"! No matter who they haul out, he or she is going to be a liar and distorter. Avalanche on them with emails, letters, cards, phone calls, we used to send telegrams, too, once upon a time. Not sure that's an option anymore. I've even thought it'd be cool to hire skywriters, but not sure what that'd cost.

I'm SO glad CNN said no, and I hope that's permanent. I'm so done with her it's not even funny anymore. And SHE'S not even fun anymore! She really screwed up with the whole "alternative facts" thing, combined with the Bowling Green Massacre blunder - all of which cost her credibility not only with viewers and listeners but also - and more importantly - the news media. Judging from the interview videos I've seen lately, a whole slew of news folk are ONTO her now, and don't appreciate her attempts to talk over, lie to, and try to snooker them. I wouldn't book her on anymore, either.

I'm wondering if this is why we don't see that obnoxious "Babbling Boris" Epshteyn anymore. And that smug Gish Galloper Steve Cortes. And where's Scottie Nell Cutesy-Name these days? SHEESH... Scottie Nell... OY...

[librechik]

86. dear calimary

[TheBlackAdder]

9. One can only hope.

[MineralMan]

10. One can also ask the media channels.

That's what I suggest. I'm sure most news people are sick of her and her rude overtalking habits.

[Zambero]

11. What's a Minister of Propaganda to do?

Nothing left but to preach to choir at Faux News, who are already baked into the alt-reality cake. Sad!

[MineralMan]

13. I don't care if she is on Fox News 24/7.

That feed is permanently blocked on my cable box.

[Jim Beard]

51. Same here. Do you think she might be possibly a bit gunshy after she blew it about Bowling Green?

[Baitball Blogger]

15. They are doing her a favor.

Whatever gifts she had that gave her the success in putting Trump in office, is now a negative.

And, I'm guessing that it goes to show how the media failed miserably at vetting Trump and the people who were behind his success.

[Eyeball_Kid]

35. It's not the responsibility of the modern media to "vet". Their only motivation is profit.

Conway had value to them until she didn't. She's out because she over-reached with her fake news. Her Bowling Green Massacre reference was over the top because she violated a basic tenet of propaganda: she had no element of truth to her false reference. Her comment couldn't rise above the standard for propaganda and therefore, couldn't reach the false legitimacy for infotainment.

But she's not gone forever. She'll sit on the shelf, but WILL come back to create more interference. But from this point forward, her brand is tarnished. After her run with Trumpy, her employment choices will be limited to a narrow sliver of media entertainment.

[malaise]

17. They both look like they're on drugs

[mnhtnbb]

19. because they probably are both on drugs.

[keithbvadu2]

.

[MineralMan]

20. To me, they both look like they've been ridden hard and put away wet.

Steve Bannon looks like someone I'd expect to see sitting on a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk. Kellyanne can look OK, but her face shows her up anytime she loses her smile and is annoyed. Then, she looks like someone who has been rejected too often and has grown bitter and angry.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Note to readers: That is an old expression about horses and stabling. No subtext. . . . nt

[MineralMan]

25. Thanks. I assumed people knew that expression.

I could be wrong, though.

[lpbk2713]

22. "Does Not Play Well with Others"

The word should go out far and wide. She is nasty, dishonest and deceitful.

[MineralMan]

23. The Trump Bullies-in-Chief

Note the ones who are not smiling. They're the "lead bullies."

[Plucketeer]

49. Bannon looks like he fought the same "Vietnam" that Trump did

and LOST!

[Augiedog]

24. She has become the SCROTUS' ASS

[bluecollar2]

27. kick...n/t

[Ligyron]

28. I've found her mildly amusing at times but you're right.

The scary part is how many of our fellow countrymen have fallen for their brand of propaganda. She, more than any one person is probably responsible for getting Trump elected. His whole campaign seemed to turn around when they brought her on board.

Still I have to admire her abilities and wish we had someone with her talents on our side. It seems we can't succeed by using facts and simply telling the truth.

Skeletor Barbie, the Hanoi Hannah of the new GOP.

[Grammy23]

31. I won't miss her one bit and my Blood Pressure will remain stable.

I get so annoyed when she is on I can literally feel my blood pressure start to rise. The longer this train wreck of a Presidency continues, the more she will have to spin a web of lies and pure BS. So my intention is to avoid her at all costs. If more people tune her out (and change the channel), the broadcasters will not want her on their networks. So there is hope we can freeze these most annoying and disgusting spokesmen from the news and opinion programming.

[leanforward]

36. Thank you MSM

I can do without that face. I'm with the comments above.

I am a loyal American in opposition. There is more to the Russian connections.

Unless convinced otherwise, impeach him.

[NRaleighLiberal]

40. Yup - start with her - work down the line. Ice them all out of any air time anywhere.

[NewJeffCT]

41. I would welcome her on the shows - if they were pre-recorded

then you can fact check her lies when you actually air it.

[colorado_ufo]

42. No network should waste any air time

on Pravda Barbie. All she does is lie.

[iluvtennis]

44. Agree +100 nt

[AgadorSparticus]

45. I can only hope and dream they stick Bannon out there.

It wouldn't take long for the crazies to come out of his mouth.

[George II]

46. Trump tried to get her on CNN this morning, CNN refused.

[MineralMan]

47. Yes. Good for them!

[Plucketeer]

50. This photo

curdled my coffee!

[0rganism]

53. every time i see that photo i think of...

and it's all very unfair to the lovable cartoon characters involved
make it stop!

[DFW]

54. Like a misbehaving school child

She has to stand in the corner until he comes up with a better term for "lies" than "alternative facts."

She can't use "inoperative statements," either. That one was taken already by Nixon's press secretary, Ron Zielger (and received by the press with similar enthusiasm).

[underpants]

55. Spicer: she already had plans to commemorate the Bowling Green Massacre

[Beartracks]

56. I'd prefer to see news rather than spin, anyway.

Word salad ain't news.

=========================

[Nitram]

57. She must be talking about liberal kittens in that photo.

How she'd like to drown every last one of them!

[La Coliniere]

58. won't make much difference

When I look at that photo, particularly Bannon, one thing stands out: gin blossoms. I've known many alcoholics in my day and gin blossoms are not uncommon to those who hit the hard stuff with vigor. And good riddance KC. But rest assured, she will be replaced in short order with another court dissembler, perhaps even worse.

[Doitnow]

60. The same treatment should go for anyone else spewing lies for our SO-CALLED pResident.

[davsand]

80. I want the anchors to have a kill switch on the mics of these people.

If they start lying, talking over people, or start doing that whole schtick about something somebody else did that sucked bigly, they need to get muted and the interview is over. Tell them answer with the truth, stop your crap, and act like a human being with some manners, or else we will mute you and boot your ass for good.

I saw two different segments this morning where people sat and LIED without shame, and they never blinked when they did it. NOT once. It was pathetic. News media can clean this up if they have the balls to do it. All the anchor has to say is, "Well, ______ needed to be shut off because we know he was lying. And now to _______"

If the GOP wants to object then let them throw their fit. Just report what you know to be true--the stuff that can be proved--and fuck them for being liars. "We have no comment from the other side of this story because they all got caught lying in previous segments."

I am well and truly over those lying GOP sacks of shit. Treat them like the lyin' turds they really are.


Laura

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

61. She is utterly discredited by her self-admitted peddling of "alternative facts" (AKA blatant lies.)

Let Faux Noise keep her. No legitimate news organization should allow her on unless they have trained their people to challenge the hell out of her BS immediately and on no uncertain terms.

[NurseJackie]

62. OMG!! Just ... OMG! WTF? Seriously, WT-EL-F??

[Hamlette]

63. Could Trump be the answer to balance on the Sunday shows?

For as long as I can remember, more republicans than democrats appear on the shows. It drives me nuts. But if Trump can't come up with someone who tells the truth and is not bitter mean, maybe they will give the time to more dems. Hurray!

[NCjack]

64. Consequences for lying. Is Bannon next? nt

[ailsagirl]

69. YAY!!!!!!

[FlaGranny]

72. I never minded

her lies half as much as her insults. She couldn't get through an interview without insulting people like me and you.

[csziggy]

74. Now I realize what that picture reminds me of

http://educatinggeeks.com/all-the-trek-e4-ost-the-man-trap-miri/

[AgadorSparticus]

77. She done messed up.

And really, was she even missed? I doubt that.

[radical noodle]

78. I hope to never see her again

This picture makes her look like a female Satan.

[Lotusflower70]

81. I always think of

The cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt. I tried to put a picture in here but it wouldn't work for some reason. Am I missing something?

[Sherman A1]

83. Excellent

Hope it remains that way.

[Roland99]

84. Looks like a Death Eater

85. Did you see the statement from Reuters-Thompson on coverage of Drumpf and Co?

http://www.reuters.com/article/rpb-adlertrump-idUSKBN15F276

We don’t know yet how sharp the Trump administration’s attacks will be over time or to what extent those attacks will be accompanied by legal restrictions on our news-gathering. But we do know that we must follow the same rules that govern our work anywhere, namely:

Do’s:

Cover what matters in people’s lives and provide them the facts they need to make better decisions.
Become ever-more resourceful: If one door to information closes, open another one.
Give up on hand-outs and worry less about official access. They were never all that valuable anyway. Our coverage of Iran has been outstanding, and we have virtually no official access. What we have are sources.
Get out into the country and learn more about how people live, what they think, what helps and hurts them, and how the government and its actions appear to them, not to us.
Keep the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles close at hand, remembering that “the integrity, independence and freedom from bias of Reuters shall at all times be fully preserved.”
