I listened to NPR for like five minutes today. They had on Sarah Isgur to talk about what a tough spot Roberts was in because Biden was prosecuting his opponent for a crime for which he wasn’t impeached.
"Following her employment with..Trump's Justice [Dept], Isgur explored employment with CNN..sources claim[ed] she pitched her knowledge of the Mueller Investigation as a selling point...
CNN tried to get out of its contract with Isgur by invoking a "morality clause" in her contract."
KCRW wants her.
Despite @NPR's descent, I'm still surprised at how swiftly under new CEO Katherine Maher they've declined yet more.
Nina Totenberg showed class in (apparently) never engaging with FedSoc's Isgur.
Sadly, KCRW's Laura Million befouled herself hiring Isgur:
Tonight All Things Considered rolled in it.
Have they gotten bored and annoyed that they have to find stories instead of Trump being the story every day (which we're back to that). My local station is newly running national shows dedicated to both sides discussions.
And then they brought on some other jar of mayonnaise to say the SCOTUS ruling legalizing Watergate wasn’t the end of the world because future presidents will realize on their own that they shouldn’t throw their enemies into gulags.
HOW does she get a spot on NPR? Her credibility as a commentator, as an attorney, HELL, as an American, is shredded.
Why not just have on Jethro Jenkins from Bumblefuck, Alabama to discuss his views on them liberuls controlling the weather and how Trump will stop them?
i'm ira glass, this is this american life. this week's episode: the divine right of kings. is it such a bad idea? our first story begins on a beach in hastings,
We are face with a political movement that starts with the desired conclusions and moves backwards from there. Historical fact and legal reasoning are of secondary concern.
This is PR masquerading as governance.
Roberts will always be in a tough spot between his friends, colleagues, political party, life's work, etc. on one hand, versus integrity, honesty, the Constitution, most of America, decency, etc. on the other hand.
Isgur loved working for the racist, Jeff Sessions. Certainly NPR could find a better person to interview than her. 2019: "Former Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur has been an active foot soldier in the right’s decades-long assault on journalism." theintercept.com/2019/02/20/c...
