Dirty Tricks.
2015-07-27 Monday ... "When did you stop beating raping your wife" ... Megyn Kelly breathlessly announces the BREAKING NEWS that 23 years ago Trump "raped" his wife, a story recycled by 'The Daily Beast'. All hell breaks loose and Ivana, the "raped" wife shoots it down in hours. No mea culpa from Megyn. The next night, instead of a 'correction' she interviews the very 'The Daily Beast' smear merchant behind this rehash. JOURNALISM LESSON: Even ABC/NBC/CBS would have run an unambiguous apology stating 'The story should never have aired because it fails all our standards'. EPIC FAIL.
2015-08-06 Thursday ... "Why do you hate women?" ... DEBATE question #1a ... You've called women you don't like "fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals." ... Jeopardy Response: What did Trump say to Rosie O'Donnell after she attacked his family, and the women of the Miss America pageant Alex? Rush debunked this and Levin played the entire context from "The View". This was part of an ongoing feud, but it's worse than that. The fat nasty lesbian Rosie O'Donnell was ripping his family and the straight women of his pageant who aren't beastly creatures like her. TRUMP WAS DEFENDING WOMEN from this hideous he-she. What he said was minimal, much less than would be expected from any man. JOURNALISM LESSON: This corrupt moderator said he insulted women, plural, not specifying that it was a single specific person and left off the context of the feud. She effectively inverted the true meaning here from Trumps's actual *defending* women from this alleged "woman" - into an *attack* on all women. And I think I know why. If she had asked: "Why did you once called Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig?" That would have set up a homerun response such as: "Because Megyn, anyone who comes at me or my family, or disparages the women of the Miss America pageant better expect me to kick their ass. And as President you better believe that anyone that attacks the American people or our Armed Forces will be crushed." That's why she did it.
2015-08-06 Thursday ... "You disgusting old man!" ... DEBATE question #1b ... You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. ... Jeopardy Response: What did Trump say to the Apprentice contestant who herself said she dropped to her knees Alex? Mark Levin played the entire context from "The Apprentice" and it's no wonder that no-one, including the participants remembered this "incident". One person relayed the 'story' of another person down her knees - to Donald Trump. His comment was to the third person. It's almost insane the leap she attempted to make with this dirty trick. JOURNALISM LESSON: Don't let your interns comb through transcripts and always listen to the context yourself. I expected them by now to throw some unnamed researcher under the bus and retract the story by saying 'we should have been more thorough'.

WHITE KNIGHT COMPLICATIONS. One of the most detestable dirty tricks I have ever seen is from Erick Erickson at "RedState". His little attempt at rescuing poor Megyn Motormouth Kelly was to disinvite Trump from a RedState gathering.
But his most offensive ploy was to cap this off with: "'I don't want my daughter in the room with Donald Trump'". This is loaded with sick, disgusting innuendo that is now imprinted all over the internet thanks to the one-liner heading the story. This kind of nasty trick can easily be done to any one, including you Erick, and that is why we never do such a thing unless it is REALLY deserved.
Ironically for them and schadenfreude for us, these dirty tricks have only boosted Trump's support among people who bother to check these facts. This is because it is human nature to favor underdogs, and to support people being treated unfairly, and to punish bullies. The lowlife tricksters have astonishingly managed to turn Trump into an underdog being harassed by bullies and yet are surprised by the result. Now that's what I call justice. The good Lord it seems, does have a supreme sense of humor, and justice.
Would Mr Red State say the same about Bill Clinton? “I don’t want my daughter in the same room with him’
A great post, Democratic-Republican — a very useful timeline of activities of the vicious shrew. I have copied it and will use it and refer to it frequently.
The sad writing is on the wall for FOX and particularly, the adorable Megyn. She’ll never recover with viewers like me, formerly loyal viewers. A mea culpa would undo some damage, but basically she has hopelessly crashed and burned.
Maybe if the Reverend Al steps down at MSNBC, Megyn would qualify as a progressive replacement. After all, she can enunciate.
Thanks again for the clear perspective.
