While enjoying his antics and the effect they are having on Spanky and his mob, I hope he doesnā€™t let his new-found celebrity go too much to his head. Heā€™s getting close to tipping things in the wrong direction.

Go on vacation, buddy, or meditate or something. Donā€™t blow it because your britches got too big.

Hey Michael, we love you for poking Trump & Cohen but, really, we donā€™t need to see you every single day.

Also, I have no doubt youā€™ll be involved in some future case that infuriates us rather than delights.

I thought he was too poised and confident to get rattled that way. Tsk tsk. Clear your head and donā€™t mess up before the gameā€™s over.

You canā€™t be thin skinned if you want to stay in the limelight Michael. Calm down.

You had to know that you were putting a huge target on yourself. Focus on your case. You win that, and people will forget your warts. Make a big deal about unflattering articles, and you give them oxygen.

So, in other words, doing what Donald Trump has been doing since 1965.

Absolutely. This guy makes one slip up and the entire fox narrative, and probably some of the legitimate press too, becomes ā€œHeā€™s unstable, therefore trump is totally vindicatedā€. Not right but thatā€™s the crappy media world we live in.

Just the press doing its job, Michael. Donā€™t bite the hand that feeds you.

Iā€™m rather ambivalent about how Avenatti conducts himself. Every ā€œfactā€ heā€™s presented so far has pretty much turned out to be right. I suppose that could change.

My only real problem with Avenatti at this point is that he pronounces etcetera, ā€œeck-setera.ā€

What does TPM gain by insulting Avenatti? If TPMā€™s stance is itā€™s wrong for people to seek and use attention, then covering politics must be difficult for yā€™all.

Oh give me a fuckin break. The guy calls one journalist an asshole for writing a cheap hit piece and itā€™s indicative of an entire attitude toward the press?

This is at least the second anti-Avenatti piece Iā€™ve seen on TPMā€¦think someone here is not a fan.

Typical fucking liberals. ā€œThis guyā€™s getting too big for his breeches; gonna have to knock him down a peg or two.ā€

Fuck that shit.

ā€œThe Hollywood Reporterā€ has a journalistic reputation that is almost as good as FoxNews and Confidential Magazine. They were also a major instigator of the Red-scare blacklisting in Hollywood during the 1950ā€™s, although they finally got around to apologizing for ruining the careers of so many people that were innocent during that time. Of course, they didnā€™t apologize until 2012, although a THR reporter wrote a story about THRā€™s involvement with McCarthyism in 1997, but the rag refused to publish it, because they are the flagship of journalistic integrity.
Itā€™s not as if Avenatti called for the destruction of The New York Times and The Washington Post because he thought they were disseminating fake news or some other wild accusation like that. I mean, what person upon this earth would possibly do that?
Oh, waitā€¦

I worked with a guy once named Eriq. He insisted everyone call him ā€œIQā€ because he was a self-styled genius. It is always a good time to be patronized by a guy who tries to explain why youā€™re wrong when he has no understanding of what you just said.
