For Fox to actually fire someone, the sin must be egregious!

Does this reflect a concern about international law breaking by a certain badministration?

I dunno – ICC is a very valuable institution, having provided a forum for the trial, sentencing and incarceration of villains from places like Bosnia and Rwanda.
It doesn’t have to be about holding the guys now in Washington or Moscow to account.

Unbelievable. Since when is it the job of the USPS to “certify” mail-in ballots? Once again, the “badministration” (h/t @dont) has decided to unlawfully exercise its powers. I’m still sure the Constitution leaves administration of elections to the states and Congress. Butt out, fatso! Re: Bartiromo…I bet she thought leopards would never eat her face! Actually, the story implies that FOX was in no mood for further litigation after the Dominion case. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hey, Der Pumpkinführer is looking for a new liar, er, spokesperson. She’s got experience in that field.

She’s not young and blond. I’ll leave the description of pretty to someone else. She’s just not his type.

The same Bartiromo who spent years fluffing for the likes of Jack Welch of GE whose claim to fame as a “master of the universe” CEO was threatening workers and communities with, in his words putting the GE plant on a ship and sending it overseas to, yes China. How are they doing these days? She also kowtowed with the other captains of industry, particularly the financial sector who ended up crashing our economy in 2008.

I’ve always viewed these business shows with a jaundiced eye. If you based your investment portfolio on the musings of business show hosts like a Kudlow, Bartiromo, Kramer or Varney you’d have a heck of a time trying to get by or have a decent retirement. Back in the day the PBS show Adam Smiths (yeah that was his real name) money world was quite informative same with the Nightly business report.
