CBSboard of Directors member Arnold Kopelson threatens Kathy Griffin; Send prewritten letter to Fox

[icymist]

The most disturbing advice came via email from a member of the board of directors of the CBS Corporation, Arnold Kopelson, an Academy Award–winning producer who Griffin used to consider a friend. Kopelson emailed Griffin with a prewritten letter to President Trump that he said she should mail to him, and which Griffin shared with me.

The letter includes phrases like, “Now with my world crumbling around me, I am listening for the first time about the great things you have done and are doing. How stupid I was to follow the lies from the ‘Left.’ It took my terrible mistake to finally see the false news,” and “I do not deserve what I am asking of you. I am begging you to open your heart and forgive me.” Kopelson said that Griffin should “exclusively release the letter to Fox Broadcasting,” adding, “Do not send to the other networks.” “If you don’t do exactly what I’ve written, your career is over,” Kopelson wrote. A spokesman for CBS Corporation declined to comment. When I called Kopelson for comment, he said, “I’m tied up” as soon as I explained the reason for the call, and hung up the phone. Kopelson did not respond to a request for comment via email.

1. Extortion

Griffin's only mistake was that she apologized. She should have posted a second picture of herself standing on Trump's headless, bloated corpse.

5. I should have used the Sarcasm Smilie

My point being that this is just example 2,342,345,390 that proves THERE IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA/b]

14. Yeah. This is CBS telling Kathy Griffin to use Fox

news or else! Wonder if Colbert would have anything to say about this. If he even knows...

6. These people are getting more insane by the day!

Liberal media? What liberal media?

10. Insane. You got that right.

This guy has some serious psychiatric problems, if you ask me. With everything else that has been happening, he's still obsessed with Kathy Griffin? Are you fucking kidding me???

[Initech]

11. The right wing really knows how to hold a grudge!

Most of us have forgotten about this right now - yet the right seems to beat these dead horses into the ground!

[malaise]

12. You think he wrote this or the Con wrote this?

Freaking wow!

[Initech]

13. I wouldn't be surprised in either situation!

These people are fucking scumbags, and they stoop to new lows on what seems like a daily basis anymore!
