The attorney general, William Barr, told Rupert Murdoch to “muzzle” Andrew Napolitano, a prominent Fox News personality who became a critic of Donald Trump, according to a new book about the rightwing TV network.

Barr’s meeting with Murdoch, at the media mogul’s New York home in October 2019, was widely reported at the time, with speculation surrounding its subject. According to Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, by CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, subjects covered included media consolidation and criminal justice reform.

“But it was also about Judge Andrew Napolitano.”

Stelter’s in-depth look at Fox News, its fortunes under Trump and its links to his White House will be published on Tuesday. The Guardian obtained a copy.

We all here know that he is an ignorant, selfish, lying POS.
Unfortunately, his base (Goober Nation) believes all his insane bullshit.
And that includes almost all of my inlaws.

Why bother with “baselessly” at this point, TPM? I mean, he accused the Democrats of taking the word “God” out of the national anthem, when it’s on tape many times.

I LIVE for the day this complete waste of oxygen has to answer questions under oath. In public.

I feel your pain. You list the litany of lies and his phony resume, his bankruptcies and failures, his immorality and phony toughness. And that is brushed off as my ‘opinion.’

A lot of deprogramming to be done when this whole nightmare ends.

Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Okay, that would be an automatic AG resignation in any other presidency, right?

Spend 30 years ranting against science and scientists, and be surprised that people are slower that you would like to sign up for a potentially life-threatening scientific study. Hmm.

In a previous statenent made when the restructuring was first announced, Sarah Malone, executive vice-president of Trump International Scotland, said: “Our valued team members are uppermost in our thoughts and at the heart of all our communication as we navigate our way through this difficult crisis in the weeks and months ahead.”

“Our industry was forced to close its doors and we rely on international travellers as our lifeblood; travellers who are unlikely to return for some time.”

So is Sarah a Scottish Trump?
Trump takes the money from the government intended to help workers keep their jobs, furloughs said workers, and then hire less inexperienced and thus at a lower wage to replace them.
