Megyn Kelly’s former Trump-bashing Sidekick: “Stop having Reporters at Trump Rallies” – Video 8/3/18
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 4, 2018 | Brian

Posted on 08/04/2018 5:16:24 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Fox News Digital Politics Editor, Chris Stirewalt, said yesterday reporters should stop covering President Donald Trump’s rallies. He also advocated for ending the televised White House Press Briefings, bashing the Administration.

“I submit, we should stop having reporters at those Trump rallies. Everybody should stop having reporters penned up like veal in the back of those things for the President to use as a prop. And then some of the reporters exploit that for their own personal benefit. This is not helping anybody. Get out of the hall. Leave the cameras. Get the reporters out of the hall. Quit letting him use you as a foil.”

You remember this guy, right? Stirewalt is the guy Megyn Kelly would bring on routinely during the 2016 Presidential Campaign to laugh at, mock, and attack Donald Trump. They had a grand time, for a while, telling us that Trump could not win the 2016 GOP Nomination and, even if he did – he would not beat Hillary Clinton!

“I’ve never liked that sniveling bubble-faced man with his attempts at jive talk (he thinks he’s so cool).”

Yeh, he misses his mommy. Wish she had taken him with her....

Does Stirewalt understand ANYTHING? If I had the difference between his actual worth, and his pompous imagined worth, in dollars, I could OWN the island of Tahiti; lock, stock and barrel.

When I see Chris Stirewalt on tv or video the first thought that comes into my head is ‘soft’.

This guy is soft. No hardness or regular life-suffering/trials to this guy. He’s one of those people who truly did have privilege all his life.

Don’t forget Dingbat Dana.

Perino is a great disappoint to me. I really expected much better from her for various reasons.

But no -- the press NEEDS to stop this guy. They need to make people hate him. That is their central focus. And if they keep failing to achieve their goal when they cover his rallies, then they will just stay away.

Yes. I would also add they NEED to make Trump supporters toxic in the eyes of the public.

This faux outrage is really about trying to make the supporters LOOK a certain way as well.

As far as WHPB, Sarah is on point, clear, and puts BS in its place. The arrogant, and leftie, propaganda--along with the GOP Es--presses' narrative is getting knocked on its head.

And yes. The very suggestion exposes their motives.

The liberal media flounces around like Kardashians without the tits.

They are the enemy of the people and I don’t care what they do.

"I submit, we should stop having reporters at those Trump rallies."

Not going work, Chris. Trump will sit point at the cameras and call out the fake news portion of the media.

There is not one single news organisation that covers EVERY Trump rally, every Trump news conference as well as One America News.

As far as I care ALL THE REST of them can just not show up. Either that or they can cover Trump AND his BASE and his FANS and his SUPPORTERS. He taunts them every single time to cover the audiance and show the American people exactly how many people are there cheering for our President. They keep the cameras tightly focused on Trump, never showing anything else. Then all the footage goes into the vault for future ridicule because is sure a s hell dont show up on the MSMBS new shows.

Press coverage by invitation only. If the investigative journalists what to know what going on, let them investigate. (or they can just make it all up like they are doing now.)

Is Meagan Kelly still on the rag?

Take away the top 20 conservative on-air talent from FOXNews and the station would have fewer viewers than CNN...

Having conservatives bring in the bread and butter for the network and they’re rewarded by the phony Fox ‘elites’ hiring liberal losers? Gimme a break. Fire this Trump hater...

Media should have reporters at these events. But they should not send provocateurs. A report should report, factually. Not give their opinion or instigate activity. Opinion is for the editors, it should be factual, and honest. Unfortunately media has given up on both facts and honesty. They just want sensationalism! They are provoking hostility to increase their ratings and agenda of destroying the USA!

This guy was the reason I never watched Megyn Kelly’s show. She’d have him on and they would make snarky jokes which came across like they were to cool kids making fun of the nerds. Smug and condescending, both of them. I’d previously liked Megyn Kelly but once she started interacting with this guy I saw her for what she was in reality. Then the Trump stuff happened and that was that.

Big talk for a someone who would be unemployed if they didn’t cover Trump.

They don’t have a choice, whether they believe it to be Faustian or The Sword of Damocles.

That advise would be as effective as telling a street heroine addict there to stop using.

This way there is a media blackout on the enthusiasm behind Trump. It’s just typical liberal media bias again.

It’s amazing that Stirewalt has a job. Never close to an insightful observation.

Right, so the rest of the country, including undecideds and Trump supporters who aren’t at the rally don’t have a clue about how big the support is for Trump. I don’t agree.
