“I am Not a Baby”

not a baby1

You know, it says an awful lot when someone has to let us know, not once, but twice in a single interview, that they are in fact, not a baby.  Trump had to let poor Leslie Stahl know that, after bowling over her questions, and practically shouting in her face during the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday.  He spent the whole interview acting indignant, ignoring inconvenient or unfavorable questions, and hammering on subjects that he wanted to talk about without letting Leslie move the whole process forward.  I’m sure Trump’s supporters will look at his petulance and childish behavior as a show of strength and him having his way with the fake news.  Personally, I see it has him being a big, dumb baby.  And I know, Trump says, very specifically that he isn’t, but I don’t feel inclined to take his word for it.

The Deafening Silence of Fox News

Fox Quiet1

So, Fox News didn’t mention Stormy Daniels at any point during the day on Monday.  The day after a quite devastating interview that puts a pretty negative light on their Meal Ticket, and they don’t even mention it.  They spend some time bashing Hillary, but they don’t dignify the affair of their Savior or the prospect that he might have had her threatened to keep her from telling people about it with any kind of response.  Now, they might argue that an alleged affair that Trump denies is personal business, and not “real news”, but the fact that he has taken steps to keep it quiet, while possibly authorizing someone to threaten her definitely is.  I suppose there’s a reason Fox News doesn’t label themselves as “Fair and Balanced” anymore.
