I should have said “Oliver jumps the shark, questions swirl”…..

LOL

“Look over there!” (Distraction)

“The other side does it too!” (False equivalency)

‘change the subject, change the subject’ (Distraction)

‘ignore it, those that bring it up are mean’ (Distraction)

The point is that FOX Republican Propaganda doesn’t attack Republicans unless they favor a different Republican competitor.

FOX Propaganda clearly ignored the claim, initially claiming they didn’t get the information, then claiming that the information they didn’t admit to getting wasn’t credible (something you could only do by having the information and investigating it).

Then the FOX Republican Propaganda Channel claimed that it didn’t warn Republican Senator Ensign about the letter even while Republican Senator Ensign was apparently claiming that he was preemptively revealing his hypocritical adultery because he claimed that it was going to be revealed on TV. How would he know? It seems FOX warned him to protect him.

And now right wingers are claiming that the hypocritical Republican who had repeatedly assailed others for their adultery isn’t the issue, it’s a dubious charge of bribery being made by the duplicitous, hypocritical adulterer.

The Republican Hypocrite Party at it’s best.

To be fair, he included the question mark.

As in, ‘Did Oliver jump the shark again or did he knowingly put a question mark in his header knowing it would be interpreted as a true charge since, afterall, it’s Fox News?

Oliver jumps the shark…..again.

As for comparing Ensign/Hampton to Clinton/Lewinsky, as indefensible as the latter affair was, at least the former POTUS, unlike Ensign, wasn’t engaging in “double adultery” (Lewinsky wasn’t married while Hampton was).

Or wherever the hell Dan Rather and Mary Mapes wound up. It would have been on the air before the empty envelope hit the desk.

A random letter from a spurned husband that wasn’t immediately investigated by a major news organization! Scandalous….

What ever happened to the old democrat mantra of privacy? As I recall, the POTUS was having an affair with a young intern and there just wasn’t anywhere close to this sort of outrage.

If the lefties were even a little bit consistent, the rest of america might be able to gin up a little more outrage.

FNC says that Hampton seemed to hedge a bit (how many charges made from disgruntled fired employees do news networks get a day?…) and that they thought they had time to look into the charges more deeply.

That Ensign went public the next day, could just as easily be because FNC HAD made a few phone calls to current and former Ensign staffers.

No kiddin’. Especially to Megyn. Not using that as a golden opportunity to see her up close and personal is just too boneheaded for words.

Doug. Dude.

What would make you think that FNC was not in the process of investigating and authenticating the letter and Mr. Hampton’s implied (rather than detailed) charges?

Be reasonable!
