This is a shell game. The headlines are now off of the health care bill and the Republican infighting and on Trump's "greatest hits" and two of his favorite puppets Joe and Mika. Everyone will pretend to be shocked and pretend to be upset, then move on to a news cycle healthier for Republicans.

It just annoys me so much when I see Lindsey Graham tut-tutting. It's that faux-responsible schtick that is never backed up. 

 

Obviously I do understand why people are disgusted by his comments. I'm just tired of the false media outrage and the false finger wagging from politicians who enable him.

I agree with you, but I'm also torn. I'm glad to see the media hit him on the fact that he always uses looks to attack women. It's so clear he only values women by their looks, which is why he always uses it to denigrate us.  At the same time it changes nothing. We all knew this. It's way more important to keep the heat up on Russia.

Yeah, it's hard to get worked up over his misogyny when that's what people voted for. I'd go for the narrative that this is what he's doing while Carrier moves jobs to Mexico. As for Russia, that freight train will keep moving no matter what. One of the things I like is that Mueller is just doing the work. No public statements. No grabbing at the spotlight. Meanwhile everyone lawyers up, Page spends ten hours talking to the FBI, Manafort registers as a foreign agent which is an indication he violated FARA. Donnie was going to file a complain against Comey and backed down and he had to admit he didn't have any "tapes." I really believe the noose is tightening. Donnie's unhinged behavior is practically a cry to be removed from office.

The point isn't that attacking her looks is the greater insult, it's that misogynists always reduce women to their looks. I wish we could expect more from the person leading us. 

I read a profile of him awhile back and it left me hopeful. He sounds like someone who digs in and doesn't quit.

I don't understand why it has to be an either/or thing when it comes to what the MSM focuses on regarding TrumpCo.  I mean, can't we talk about the misogyny AND Russia?  Has MTV ruined our attention spans THAT much?

 

And the "No one reads the New Yorker magazine" tweet from Trump should be coming in 3, 2....

Good!!!

Honestly, these Fox News "celebrities" need the rudest of awakenings.  They think they have appeal that stretches beyond the channel's very narrow base; and as Greta's ouster at MSNBC proves, they don't.

It's so weird. Wasn't Van Susteren at CNN before she went to FXNC?  I remember once thinking it would be weird for her to go to make the switch from CNN but, I guess the money was right and switch she did, with aplomb!

 

Also strange that anyone, let alone NBC would be banking on Kelly to be a 'hit' on daytime TV.  She has never struck me as the type that had a daytime 'personality'.  

Then again, she tried to compare herself to Oprah and those two never struck me as having any similarities whatsoever.

    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!
