I haven't paid attention to RWM in a bit, but I'm guessing I'm getting hot takes through the local Fox watcher at the gym. "All these dead Syrians are on Obama's hands because he didn't do anything." Ok dude, I'm sure that's a situation that would have never escalated at all you gently caress. edit: we still doing the dog thing?

Everything will always be President Obama's fault. When the last Fox News pundit finally succumbs to the tumors erupting throughout his gristle from the collective will of humanity wishing him dead, he will stare up at his ceiling and whisper with his last, phlegmy, pained breath, "I c-could have...lived...without...O-Obama...caaaaaare...".

The Blaze posted:Shares of United Airlines stock took a nosedive in early trading Tuesday after the company found itself mired in controversy stemming from an incident that took place on a company plane over the weekend. http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/04/11/united-airlines-feels-brutal-effects-of-americas-free-market-after-controversial-video/ The free market punished United for its insolence! The system works! Never mind that their stock is already rebounding and it's obscene that this happened to begin with.

It was interesting hearing the difference between Rush and Hannity talking about the United incident. Rush said he understood why airlines overbook flights, and that he thinks it's a bad practice but it is what it is, and United didn't really have a choice but to call security since the guy wouldn't move. He also mentioned that the guy had lost his medical license for stealing prescription drugs and having gay sex with his patients. Whereas Hannity went on about how stupid the airline was and they're run by idiots, and this guy was just a regular guy like you or me who needed to see his patients, and why didn't the airline offer bigger compensation and then people would have chosen to leave? Now they'll have to pay millions in a lawsuit! Hannity's idea of compensation, by the way, was four free round trip tickets to anywhere in the world, fully paid suite at a five star hotel, and five thousand dollars cash (he then changed it to two thousand).

Meanwhile, in Levinland...Master Shake posted:On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, We bring you the best of Mark Levin. This is the show that started the President Trump surveillance investigations. The big scandal here is that we’ve had the Obama administration surveilling the Trump campaign and transition team and leaking information to the public, in hopes of getting Hillary Clinton elected. Those are police state tactics! Nothing Gen. Michael Flynn or AG Jeff Sessions have done are even in the same category as that. The real question should be, was Barack Obama as President using our intelligence services through the FISA court to gather information on their opponent? In addition, where did the information on Sessions come from? The Obama administration knew exactly what they were doing. They loosened NSA information gathering rules weeks before they left office. The information was then grabbed and spread to plants in the government. The question is who they did spy on and the extent of the spying that is the Trump campaign, the Trump transition and Trump surrogates. Still defending Flynn, lol. Also with all the "the real scandal is" once again dipping into self-parody. So much of what he said is easily debunked with public record, but none of his listeners will look it up and even if they did he's trained them to distrust everything, including official government reports. (Really, this came up when I made the mistake of arguing with a Levin fan.) Also lol for continued OBAMA!!  I wonder if he'll mention the United thing today

Rush doesn't like airlines because they ask too many questions about trips to countries known for pedo sex tourism and why he has a bottle of boner pills. "Hello sir, nice weather tod-" "WHATS WITH THE 20 QUESTIONS I'M NOT ON TRIAL HERE. I CAN NEITHER CONFIRM OR DE-"

Hannity has got to be the most robotic, one-dimensional TV host I've ever seen. All he does is push the latest RNC talking point off a script. A few years ago, a former Fox employee apparently told some reporter who the shills and true believers were at the network by describing their hypothetical answer to an offer to do a liberal version of their current show for twice the pay. I believe his take on Hannity was "He'd take the offer, but someone would have to explain it using crayons and drawing paper", or something to that effect.

But O’Reilly’s future is in the hands of the Murdochs. “It’s up to the family,” the senior Fox News staffer said. The Murdochs are presently divided over how to handle it. Two highly-placed Fox News sources say 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch would like O’Reilly to be permanently taken off the air, while his father Rupert and older brother Lachlan are more inclined to keep him. (A spokesperson for the Murdochs declined to comment.) Lester Shy fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Apr 12, 2017 |

I mean, never know. I've noticed Fox News anchors have a tendency to go on "vacation" when things get hairy and then show up when it dies down. But if its true that Fox is doing an investigation on it like the Ailes one that's a real bad sign. At the very least it means they think this is serious enough to have to deal with and not just ignore. And Bill's got way too many skeletons that I can't imagine that working out well for him.
