Today in Both Sides Do It: Donna Brazile Is Working Hard for Her Thirty Pieces of Silver


One crucial element of the Fox News business model is keeping a stable of  in-house token Liberals on hand to ride hard and put away wet as needed

They hired the late Alan Combs to be Sean Hannity's punching bag specifically because he looked and sounded goofy.  Juan Williams is now just a sad, old joke without a punchline.  And Susan Estrich was last seen backstroking her way across an ocean of box wine towards professional oblivion.

And now Donna Brazile -- the latest Democrat to disgrace themselves by taking this straight, cynical soul-for-cash deal -- is earning her keep at the House that Ailes Built by synchronizing the propaganda coming out of the Fox News abattoir with the Beltway media's most sacred Big Lie:
Donna Brazile to Joaquin Castro and Trump: 'Stop it,' volume must be lowered on both sides

Fox News contributor Donna Brazile called for the "volume" to be lowered on both sides of the political aisle, responding to Rep. Joaquin Castro's decision to tweet out the names of Trump donors in the San Antonio area.

"That's why I said a long time ago to the president of the United States, stop it. I tell it to members of Congress, stop it. We're going at each other, we're not talking to each other. We're accusing each other of things that we're not and we're not lowering the volume, we're not changing the tone. ... It is happening on both sides ... and I dislike it," said the former interim DNC chairwoman on "America's Newsroom."...

See!  Even "Liberal" Donna Brazile agrees that the Both Sides are equally wrong.

I imagine her interview at Fox going something like this...


It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you.
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord...


Behold, a Tip Jar!

I hear you on Donn.

it is as simple as she needs the money and wants to stay relevent as Gingrich.

After being "all" important. Itis hard to fall down into mediocre worthlessness. Like the little people resources she used to "work so hard for"(?).

It does make one question their past. I am sure Donna Brazile justifies this as her strong beliefs need to be there (FOX) to counter the right wing.

( This returns me to my point when Obama was considering the value of FOX as a supposedly legitimate news organization to have permitted a White House press pass. It was all the networks and the media news employees that defended FOX to remain.

They wanted this fall back cushion if they became unemployed. FOX is their welfare positions because the likes of others. As we see with DGB as example. They do not have that clout.

In meantime:
in my LOCO paper, reprinted from the Washington Post writer, Marc A. Thiessen.

Titled, "Hateful rhetoric on both sides."

Because their are no acceptable opinions by local writers. Syndication of all this by the wealthy who own it and want us only to be fed their steady diet of submissiveness.

Same thing they did with right wing radio. As Del Rushbo became syndicated and replaced all the individual and independent radio people on air across America. To be fed Tushbo 3 times a day even on multiple stations in the very same market.

And it became a grea downsizing of the radio work force.
(there was no Tiki Torch marches that chanted, "Rushbo will not replace us".

What scares me most in American capitalism today might be.

FOX finds it profitable in entertainment to advertise to its viewers. contracting with Donna to (and the Santorum anor Gingrich) and there are Amrican human beings that will watch.

It might be more cost effective for FOX to hire bot viewing to hold ratings.

Yes, you are aware of bot banks of computer viewing of channels to raise their ratings of viewers.

Nope. That wasn't happening.
