There’s no pretense anymore. Why does the GOP put us with this? They sharpen the blades of our executioners.
Moderator For 2nd Trump-Biden Debate Worked As Intern For Biden, Staff Assistant For Ted Kennedy
By Hank Berrien, DailyWire.com, Oct 1, 2020:
The second presidential debate, scheduled for October 15, will be moderated by Steve Scully, the political editor at C-SPAN and host of Washington Journal, who once worked as an intern for Senator Joe Biden in college, later working as a staff assistant in Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s communication office.
“While attending college, he served as an intern in the office of Delaware Sen. Joseph R. Biden, and later a staff assistant in Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s media affairs office,” Utah Valley University noted.
C-SPAN’s impeccable convention coverage – gavel to gavel, classy and smart…

In an interview with Journalism Jobs in May 2011, when he was asked, “Has the quality of broadcast journalism decreased over the past five years?”, Scully took the opportunity to rip Fox News, stating, “I think what has gone downhill is when cable networks get caught in all the titillating news of the day when they should be focusing more on the things that are important to people, like following the money and the state of the nation. Having said that, if you’re sick and tired of watching Laci Peterson on the Fox News Channel, then you can come on to C-SPAN and understand the process that we do in following it.”
Later in the same interview, he praised Tim Russert, then-host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” saying, “I think Tim Russert — who is paid a lot of money to do what he does — earns his money because he works hard and he understands the process. He’s probably one of the best interviewers out there.” Then he turned to Fox News again, claiming, “We are seeing more opinionated journalism on Fox, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, the whole incident with Dan Rather.”
Asked, “What will be the long-term impact on the credibility of journalists if the public’s perceived bias in reporting goes unchecked?”, Scully said, “Journalism in general will face more credibility blows. The most important thing you have is your reputation. How people view you and the organization you work at — they’re going to see things through the prism of that. It would be a shame if we go down the path where everyone looks at The Washington Post and the New York Times and dismisses them as being supportive or critical of Republicans.”
He added a criticism of CBS News, asserting, “The best thing any news organization can do is to try to maintain a level of credibility — make sure that the facts they put in the newspaper or on the air are accurate and verified. That’s one of the lessons CBS has realized. You could see the mistakes they were making every step of the way. They are going to pay a price for that.”
Scully mentioned former NBC News anchor John Chancellor, saying, “If you have a comment by a news anchor that is truly his opinion — and I personally don’t like that — you need to make sure it is clearly marked and identified. Having a John Chancellor commentary at the end of the newscast — which was still popular in the ’70s — blurs the line.”
Scully is “in charge of the network’s White House coverage. He’s even served on the Executive Board of the White House Correspondents’ Association, where he was the president of the association from 2006 until 2007,” Marie Claire noted.

There are several videos out there, showing a shirtless Parscale. He is surrounded by COWARDLY cops, many carrying fully automatic weapons. Parscale is talking to some COWARDLY cop, in front of him, when what appears to be a SWAT team come up behind. While Parscale is talking to one COWARDLY cop, Parscale is blindsided by another COWARDLY cop tackling him. At which point, several other COWARDLY cops throw themselves on top of Parscale.

It was way out of line. There was no reason for that. I guess they were eager to have their 15 minutes of shame with the cameras rolling.

Ach: Yes, but please see my reply to felix, close to this comment. I suggest a reason why the tackle may have been the most humane thing they could do. Of course, I don’t really know what happened.

That’s really a shame what’s going on there. How they tackled him was out of line.
I hope he gets the help he needs.

According to his personal attorney-at-law, he wasn’t acting the least be suicidal. Yet, the COWARDLY cops place him in lockdown.

If a SWAT team was levelling fully automatic firearms at you … and you were beaten violently by a group of COWARDLY cops, wouldn’t you be a tad upset?

Not from what I have read. His personal life is causing some distress, but the Nazi jackboot treatment by the COWARDLY cops is what is upsetting him, at this time. Of course, that’s simply what I have been reading.

Well that’s the problem isn’t it? We don’t know what happened and why. I think cops did that tackle because they had reason to believe that the he was dangerous, violent, and armed. He is 6’8″, and muscular. Tackling someone like that may not look pretty, but it can save a life, and prevent ‘suicide by cop’.
Bruises on his spouse mean nothing by itself, because in domestic conflicts, women are more likely to attack the man, than vice versa. And they can bruise themselves as they attack the man. Beating up a guy who is a muscular 6’8″ can be hard work. That may nor may not apply in this case, but she has since said that the bruises were ‘misinterpreted’.
Also, he was / is enraged, energized, anguished, and desperate, and that almost always points to jealousy:
—
Jealous n. From the Greek [zealous], to energize, to boil, to burn.
—
So maybe he had reason to be jealous, and he is now desperate and hopeless. This is pure speculation.

He was stripped down to shorts. His hands were held up. There is NO way that the COWARDLY cops could have believed that he was armed.

About being mob attacked and brutally beaten by COWARDLY cops? That was all there on video. This, of course differs from “I can’t breathe”, where there was no physical strain laid upon St. George the Gang Rapist. The brutal attack and beating was right there.

Yeah but we don’t know the whole story, and sometimes, beating the crap out of someone is doing them a favor. If the choice is between that, and ending his life, getting beat can be a good deal for him. We do know that he had lots of guns, and he did threaten suicide by using one.
Don’t forget he is 6’8″, muscular, an ex-basketball player, and he could probably throw the average cop across a room.
BUT I’m NOT exonerating those cops.

Speaking of credibility, how can these partisans expect to have any? Biden will be all wired up and Trump will be under a microscope. I’d bet Biden had the questions in advance and the climate crap question wasn’t on the list of topics. This is so rigged it’s beyond laughable.
I have NEVER seen a President of either party treated so disrespectfully and shabbily as President Trump. I don’t know how he puts up with it … Actually I do. It’s love of our country and he does it for you and his family too. I may not always like his decisions but I know he is not part of the swamp and doing his best for us.

Liberal snob Wallace didn’t look to comfortable saying neither one received the quesitons in advance. It wouldn’t have bothered FOX. FOX happily hired Donna Brazille after CNN fired her from lying about giving Hillary debate questions in advance.
