Goddamn it's good to be a wealthy criminal.

https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1182758760017739777?s=20quote:That’s because Newaldass had met Wohl and Burkman by replying to an ad posted on Craigslist seeking a “male actor” for “performance art.” When he showed up at Burkman’s Virginia home and delivered his lines alleging an affair, Newaldass was under the belief that the press conference was actually an audition for a Spike TV show. He said he had no idea that Harris was a politician. Indeed, he assumed she was a fictional person.

He's probably barred from being on the news for at least a year.

Fox is not that network though, Fox serves its owners interests and they most definitely make more money with a republican passing legislation.

Shep said on air he asked to resign, there is a chance that's true. If Chris Wallace suddenly leaves or becomes a full time toady then we'll know it was a decision from the top. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1182067043081818113?s=19 At this point it's more shocking when powerful men in media aren't sex pests.

They own the courts now and its not like Fox's base is going to be disturbed that their isn't a "fair and balanced" voice in the network anymore. Shep has outlived his usefulness to them. ewiley posted:This would be hugely loving illegal under the 1st amendment wouldn't it?
