Poaching Talent

Weirdly, one of the first public acknowledgements Trump has made about the whole Stormy Daniels affair, to my knowledge, was to call her a liar over the sketch of the guy Daniels says threatened her.  And honestly, Trump should have probably decided not to weigh in on this one, because Michael Avenatti is proving to be the Anti-Trump, using Trump’s favorite tactics to combat him.  In this case, Avenatti jumped on Trump’s tweet to suggest that what he said was tantamount to defamation, and it would totally make sense to come after him for that.  Trump has to feel weird for once being on the receiving end of that threat.

The Deafening Silence of Fox News

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.

So, reports are coming out that Fox News was given a heads up about Trump’s tryst with a porn star as early as October of 2016.  Fox News could have broken a story a story that could have turned the tide of the election, but let party politics get in the way.  Say what you will about CNN or MSNBC, but given the chance to break a damaging story about Hillary Clinton, they’d have done it.  And yet they have the gall to constantly criticize other news outlets of a dangerously liberal bias.
