Journalism or Jury Tampering?
Yesterday, a person who claimed to be a producer for NBC News working under the supervision of someone with MSNBC in New York was caught tailing the bus taking the Rittenhouse jury from the courthouse to their secret parking area. Today, Judge Schroeder banned anyone associated with MSNBC from entering the courthouse for the remainder of the trial. The judge also said—
This is a very serious matter and I don’t know what the ultimate truth of it is, but absolutely it would go without much thinking that someone who is following the jury bus–that is an extremely serious matter and will be referred to the proper authorities for further action.
Certainly, the threat of doxing jurors could be considered a form of jury tampering. However, the prosecutor who would normally handle the case is the prosecutor trying to convict Kyle Rittenhouse and who has a potential interest in an unfair verdict. It will be interesting to see to whom the judge refers the matter.
The B-Card Debate
My observations:
1. The clear loser was Fauxcahontas who appeared completely unprepared and wound up overshadowed by a bunch of third-string players.
2. The competition for most annoying candidate was intense, and I can’t decide who deserves that trophy.
3. Tulsi Gabbard was the least insane of the the bunch.
I’m Not Sure How Much of These is Satire
The Babylon Bee was in top form yesterday. First, it zinged the Collusion Truthers.
Then it zapped a sizable crowd of Trump supporters.
Donald Trump is a flawed individual. While the Mueller Report does find that Trump and the people around him did not engage in the “collusion” with a foreign power during 2016 election (or obstruct an investigation into something that didn’t happen), it also reveals some of the tawdry behavior that went on during the election campaign and its aftermath.
OTOH, imagine that Hillary Clinton had won the election. Would the Democrat’s interactions with Ukraine have been investigated? If so, would she have refrained from exercising executive privilege to conceal any special counsel’s report?
I’ll leave it to the Gentle Reader to puzzle through that exercise in alternate history.
Rachel Maddow’s Scoop
Wow! Rachel Maddow has published Donald Trump’s 2005 tax return. The document shows that he paid an amount equivalent to a bit more than $20 for each of her viewers.
Softball
Da Tech Guy has a piece up this morning about the chatter surrounding Senator Pryor’s inability to handle a softball question from a MSNBC interviewer. Read the whole thing. Pete believes that the real topic of discussion should be why the media throws such softballs to Democrats.
You should be outraged, unless of course you are so used to it that it doesn’t phase you anymore …
Bingo!
I’d be surprised if MSNBC weren’t openly in the tank for the Democrats.
