🚨 NEW: Fox’s @BritHume CALLS OUT fired CBS host Scott Pelley: “I’ve worked in this TV news business for more than half a century and I’ve worked for many different bosses, many I liked and admired, and a few I did not. But I’ve always found a way to work with every one of them as best I could.”
“I never thought myself as some great guardian of journalistic integrity who wasn’t open to the ideas of others who I might at first disagree. And I’ve never had a problem finding a way to do the work in a way to please me and whatever boss I had - or at least satisfy them.”
“These 60 Minutes correspondents, led by Scott Pelley, seem to think they are the guardians of journalistic integrity. But it’s worth remembering how that show works.”
“Like all these TV magazine shows, as prominent as the correspondents who narrate on cameras seem to be, these shows are producer driven and these correspondents become famous largely because of the good work of producers who do the interviews, writing, supervise the shooting and editing of the pieces. The correspondents get to become big stars that way on a show that has the best lead-in on TV - the NFL on Sundays.”
“So these people are a little self-important to say the least.”
Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer.
1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings.
2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches.
3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds.
4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls.
5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else.
6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel.
7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood.
8. You packed your own lunch for decades.
9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building.
10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job.
Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems.
My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!
Hey Kids, this is what 1972 sounded like — voices locked in harmony, no tricks, no tuning…just three guys using nothing but their actual voices. Wild, I know. #America#VenturaHighway
Having lived through Covid, BLM, and the coverup of Joe Biden's senility, I'm going to have to disagree with Peggy Noonan about this one. https://t.co/FOSViqSNVx
The election of Jay Jones as the next Virginia Attorney General shows that the key to rage politics is to hate the right people. Democrats just bulldozed any moral high ground in the debate over political violence and hate speech. https://t.co/bZ2idy0l0j
So, Kimmel wasn’t cancelled by Trump or the FCC after all - but temporarily suspended by his employer because they thought what he said was ill-timed and insensitive.
Years ago I didn’t understand why America had a Second Amendment.
Now that I’m living through actual government tyranny in Europe I very much am beginning to understand.
The Founders were genius for making that such an important part of the Constitution.
While I have been a critic of gerrymandering for decades, the faux outrage of Democrats in heavily gerrymandered states would make Captain Louis Renault blush... https://t.co/DgqcJ7vLzn
1 year ago today, a 20 year old named Thomas Crooks somehow evaded local law enforcement and Secret Service and nearly blew off President Trump’s head on live TV.
Crooks’ body was quietly released shortly after the incident by the FBI and cremated.
We have no clue what Crooks’ motive was.
His parents have declined all interviews and live in seclusion.
Crooks was seen multiple times before he fired on Trump, once with a range finder, but Secret Service still allowed Trump to walk on stage.
1 year later, still no answers.
