Barr Pressured Murdoch? 2

I don’t disagree. Was Napoleano sidelined?

There is a long history of AGs “getting involved”. They are appointees.

In the article it indicates he lost his daytime slot and some hosts won’t have him on unless it’s to discuss non-trump topics because he angered too many people.

Do you have an example of an AG running these kinds of political errands? This stuff is really for the Chief of Staff, not the AG.

He has been on an anti Trump binge. The people he has angered are the average Fox viewer. He is not exactly a big draw for Fox.

IMO we pay the AG to fairly administer the law, not get TV personalities critical of the POTUS sidelined.

But hey, that’s just my opinion.

If he threatened action in his position as AG he should resign. However, he is also a citizen who has the right to speak his mind in an unofficial capacity.
Seems to me I recall hearing about this many months ago.

I’m going to disagree just a bit. He’s still the AG and probably wouldn’t get a meeting with Murdoch if he wasn’t. If he made any threat at all, he should be fired.

I saw no indication at all what the topic even was, much less a threat.

If all he said was “Come on man, be fair and balanced” or “What’s your guy’s problem with my guy” or “Hey Rup, you might want to tell your guy to lighten up because he doesn’t know the whole story”

I don’t have a problem with that.

If he said anything resembling “Call off your dog or we’re going to…”

That’s a problem.

It’s more similar to AG Barr pepper spraying priests. Actually, no, that was for political reasons too…its more like AG barr sending camo wearing unmarked troops to round up americans. It was a policy decision that may be borderline legal.

BS, Trump used Federal Officers to secure Federal Property, nothing borderline about that, fully within the scope of executive powers and the constitution.

Napolitano’s amount of time on Fox is decreasing most probably because he has been on an anti Trump binge since he found out that his chances of being appointed to the Supreme Court were right up there with Judge Judy’s. He is not exactly a popular item with most Fox viewers.

And he is wrong on the law time after time.

So Nap has angered many people at FOX.

I think you have the answer.

So if one speaks ill of Dear Leader. they aren’t allowed on Fox. Glad to see Cons want to hear both sides…Thats one of the problems in this country for many…Tell me what I want to hear, not the facts.

Oh please. I’ve been to CNN. I’ve been to MSNBC. And Napolitaon is mostly opinion pieces, not “facts”.

But what happened to their “fair and balanced”? Oh, that’s right, they dropped it because absolutely no-one believed it.

Pieces on subjects he’s expert in…kinda sounds like facts to me.

Please, he’s an ex superior court judge masquerading as a constitutional expert and is consistently wrong on the law to boot. Something liberals knew, before he became an anti-trumper.
