Here Stanley seems to be claiming that Thompson is some sort of traitor to the flailing TV show by leaving it at a time when the producers might need him and that this move might make people doubt his character.

Think about it: McLean Stevenson never became President either.

There are those out there that thought Geena Davis was President during that TV show about a year or so ago.

No suprising to me. MSM leaves in an alternate universe so they think the make believe is real.................

That wasn't a TV show. It was a Hillary campaign commercial pretending to be a TV show.

How many jokes about Bedtime for Bonzo did we have to put up with from 1980 onward?

If a Democrat candidate was an actor, the MSM would only confuse the characters with the real person on positive points, never the negative ones.

Arthur has a weakness for the young, tall, gorgeous prosecutors in his office and for mentoring them through their cases.

i've never even noticed this about Arthur Branch... this sounds much more like Jack McCoy... this entire piece of writing is bizarre!

Of course not. Truman beat him.

I know, Adlai, not McLean. It just seemed to go with this thread.

Did you know they were cousins?

A former boss of mine worked for “Governor” Reagan. He loved “Ronnie” and always said “with Reagan, what you saw was what you got.” President Reagan was a genuinely nice man and a patriot. Reagan dearly loved this country. No matter what picture Liberals tried to paint of Reagan, which included ridiculing him as having been an actor, Reagan loved our country and our military. I don’t doubt that Thompson is also legitimate. The MSM is always in attack mode when it comes to conservatives. Liberal hatred for conservatives is only matched by our scorn for them.

No, I didn't.

Not surprising, though.

Excellent analysis. This is what we want the MSM to print. They will try everything to get Hillary into the WH. These types of attacks will further distance them from the rest of the country and allow FT to win.

Bill O’Reilly has a long history with Mz. Stanley. Here are examples:

Well, Frank Church was a lousy theater critic, so the NY Times made him a political columnist instead. Maybe they can do the same with Alessandra Stanley, likewise a lousy, biased critic.

Even the Times seems to realize that Church is, as someone once called him, an “attack poodle.” They only roll him out of the closet rarely now. So, now they want two attack poodles? Another step down into the sewer for Pinch.

I just read another one analyzing “Arthur Branch’s” chances. And they really used the record of Arthur Branch!! I decided it was just too stupid to post on FR.

BTW - I do not think they or anyone actually thinks any actor is who they play, but the left wants to create this for Thompson.

I do indeed. The poodle’s name didn’t sound right, I should have checked.
