										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s be fair.

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I haven’t been in a Safeway since my family moved home from Dubai in 1990.</span></p>
<p>While that may be true, it’s clear he doesn’t avoid other supermarkets. Timing is everything.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Safeway supermarkets in Virginia. None in nearby DC or Maryland" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Safeway-near-DC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-124957 size-medium" title="Safeway supermarkets in Virginia.

He needed to get some stuff anyway and decided he’d let me walk with him through the cereal and dairy selections at the Safeway near my hotel. He is not happy with President Trump. He was never a die hard Trump supporter. He supported him in the general and never expected him to win. But he did. So the congressman, whose district Trump won, has been a regular supporter on Fox News and elsewhere defending the President. He is happy to be quoted, so long as I don’t name him. He says he just needs to vent. I suggest what we’re doing is one of the reason’s Trump won — a congressman says nice things in public and bad things in private.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“<strong>Everybody does this shit</strong>,” he says. It’s his turn. We have known each other for years and have been promising to connect this week while I’m passing through DC. So this is it. I’m passing along his comments, not endorsing them.</span><br />

<p>IF that person actually exists.</p>

We admire his memory skills in being able to document the rant of this congressman word-for-word. Obviously, it would’ve had to be by memory because it’s hard to believe an irate congressman would allow himself to be documented via a smartphone or other recording device while demanding to remain anonymous… again, IF the dairy aisle meeting really occurred.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>I read you writing about this, about wanting to say nice things when you can and criticize when you need to. He may be an idiot, but he’s still the President and leader of my party and he is capable of doing some things right.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>But dammit he’s taking us all down with him. We are well and truly f**ked in November. Kevin</strong> [McCarthy] <strong>is already circling like a green fly circling sh*t trying to take Paul’s</strong> [Ryan] <strong>job because nobody thinks he’s sticking around for Nancy </strong>[Pelosi]<strong>. She’s going to f**k up the cafeteria again too.</strong> [Lord’s name in vain]<strong>, at least I’ll probably lose too and won’t have to put up with that sh*t.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a f**king idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are b*tching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump. I listen to your podcast and heard you hate it too. What an overrated piece of sh*t movie. Can you believe it beat the Shawshank Redemption?</strong></span></p>
<p>To make this encounter appear authentic, Erickson interjected some of his on-call wisdom.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Judiciary is stacked with a bunch of people who can win re-election so long as they don’t piss off Trump voters in the primary. But if we get to summer and most of the primaries are over, they just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller. The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and I’d vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we’re going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker. Take him out with us and let Mike </strong>[Pence]<strong> take over. At least then we could sleep well at night. You know having Mike as President would really piss off all the right people, too. They think they hate Trump. Mike is competent.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.</strong></span><br />

<p>If Erick Erickson was any kind of Republican, he would never have allowed such a tirade to continue without proper rebuttal, but seeing how Erickson is a #NeverTrumper, IF that conversation occurred, he was probably nodding in agreement while trying to pay attention as he was surrounded by hundreds of readily-edibles.</p>
<p>Our guess is that this is #FakeNews by another so-called conservative irrelevant begging for attention, and in the liberal Democrat tradition, by any means necessary.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference was yet another exercise in media celebrities and the so-called up-and-coming who allowed the attendees to bask in their presence.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, the template of superficiality has permeated down to the next generation of so-called “conservative” leaders whose main goal is not to be a living, breathing example of our values but self-promoting provocateurs who go to hostile college campuses: not to share and defend those values but to be video-recorded being met with the expected mayhem for viral social media product and the possibility of the Holy Grail: a segment on Fox News for more self-adulation.</p>

Perhaps most troubling for an organization that holds up conservatives as the real victims of discrimination in America, Turning Point USA is also alleged to have fostered an atmosphere that is hostile to minorities. Screenshots provided to me by a source show that Crystal Clanton, who served until last summer as the group’s national field director, sent a text message to another Turning Point employee saying, “<strong>i hate black people. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.</strong>“</span><br />

<p>And in yet another astonishing bit of ironic narcissism on display, Shapiro issued the following ironic gem with regards to the “student” movement that arose following the Parkland shooting.</p>

<span style="color: #333399;">There is something deeply perverse about using children to promote a political agenda. Children simply don’t know anything about politics. Sometimes children ask questions that help us rethink the world because they’ve had little experience with it — when my 4-year-old daughter asks questions about the universe, that prompts me to further learning and research. But she doesn’t have answers, because she’s a child.</span><br />

<p>Shapiro comes off as a petulant child to many of us so his words almost come off as a punchline.</p>
<p>Ben Shapiro is 34. That means he was in diapers when some of us were initially pushing back against the Clinton machine and agenda at a time when there was no such thing as a blog or a consumer-ready Internet to distribute thin musings on a moments notice. He is only where he is today because of those who fought, and in some cases, lost much to create forums like those he exploits for personal attention today.</p>
<p>Nothing like having a <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/404-the-ben-shapiro-show-28178102/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;talk radio&#8221; program</a>, pre-recorded so he can pontificate while not having to lower himself and engage with actual listeners.</p>

They want fame, fortune, demand access, attention, our support and money while looking down upon us and strategically redefining “conservative principles”.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>What Exactly Is a ‘Conservatarian’?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">Which brings us back to the original question — is “conservatarianism” a new, tech-minded branch of libertarianism, or is it the same old philosophy with a shiny new buzzword? The term seems to be just another addition to the lexicon of political flavors — are you a techno-utopian, a Randian idealist, or a run-of-the-mill nihilist?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">—</span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/07/what-exactly-is-a-conservatarian/455754/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Atlantic, 7/14</a></p>
<p>Maybe they should invest the time living and learning what conservative principles and morals are before imposing their superior knowledge to those they hope “die off”.</p>
<p>Until ALL of the #NeverTrump-ers and the spawn they’ve created sincerely apologize for the damage they did to the Party and our presidential nominee in 2016 <em>(which the narcissistic arrogant seldom do with any level of sincerity)</em>some of us will be in full #resist mode. After all, they showed us how to do it.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>How long does it takes for those with the resources to finally start catching up and vet those who want <em>(not earned)</em>to be stars? Don’t count on the right. We’re truly beginning to question the ability of conservatives in the “media” to actually do their job while acquiescing real reporting, albeit late, to the left.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Even by the whiplash-inducing standards of Trumpworld, Candace Owens’ rise has been fast. In November,</span> <strong><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/a-conservative-nonprofit-that-seeks-to-transform-college-campuses-faces-allegations-of-racial-bias-and-illegal-campaign-activity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-skimlinks-tracking="4825340">amid allegations of racial bias</a><span style="color: #333399;">, the conservative campus advocacy group Turning Point USA hired Owens, who is black, as its director of urban engagement.</span></strong></p>

(The story determined that it was likely very small.) And in a 2015 column for the site lambasting conservative Republicans, Owens wrote that it was “good news” that the “Republican Tea Party … will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope).”</span></p>
<p>How long have we been putting that out there to conservative crickets or arrogant denial?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Indeed, <strong>the speed with which Owens has gone from running a frequently anti-Trump, anti-conservative website to being one of the president’s most prominent new supporters illustrates the wild land grab still going on for influence in the pro-Trump ecosystem.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Most of Owens’ writing for Degree180 was not political. Much of it was personal, including essays about her struggle with anorexia, inspirational exhortations, a fierce essay titled “Fuck Girl Code: I Can Hook Up With Your Ex-Boyfriend If I Want,” and advice about how to get prescription stimulants “without so much as a doctor’s evaluation.” (The site seems to have stopped publishing new material in December 2016.)</span><br />

<p>Granted, we’re not the greatest fans of BuzzFeed, but this was not an exercise in Pulitzer-level digging. It’s just too many on the right could be bothered to look, let alone even know where.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We say “sincere” because based on their sanctimonious vitriol aimed at Donald Trump and all those who supported him, we have little reason to accept yet another “Because we say so.”</p>
<p>Just last January, unelected conservative “leaders” decided to come out and tell US who we should not support, based on their self-serving definition of what is conservative. As Donald Trump was whittling down the field of Republican candidates, instead of trying to understand his overwhelming appeal to and his expanding the Republican base in ways unseen in the party’s history, a small group of so-called conservatives believed they were right to publicly tear down the frontrunner because he just didn’t meet their qualifications.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vkplsr/?pub=6btuj" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Seriously, who were THEY to “stop Trump” and deny him the nomination?</p>
<p>NONE of them have ever run for office and take all that comes with it. Instead of sticking their own necks out, it was much easier for them to stick their hands out and suck off a movement none of them created but were eager to personally profit off of.</p>
<p>Many worked behind-the-scenes to plot was to steal the delegates on the run-up to the RNC Convention in Cleveland. They could give a shit about the voices of millions around the country who remained loyal to Donald Trump as he earned more votes than any Republican in our party’s history.</p>
<p>THEY knew better and were very comfortable with nullifying our votes for the sake of party “purity”. Some even threatened to vote for the eventual Democrat nominee as we didn’t get our minds right and take our orders from them.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Dana Loesch, BlazeTV" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106678 size-medium" title="Dana Loesch, BlazeTV" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV.jpg 430w" width="150" height="100" /></a>Some openly <a href="https://youtu.be/XKC3FmCR5wo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">talked down to and/or mocked</a> us.</p>
<p>While we can’t say for sure, some of these conservatives did come around after the RNC Convention and Trump’s accepting the party nomination, not because they had that <a href="https://youtu.be/RBMqR0JJkYE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Come to Jesus moment”</a> but because further opposition may have started to hit their all-important donor base and if it’s a case of their “principles” or money, what do you think would win?</p>
<p>Almost every one of the principled conservatives hit Fox News and began defending Donald Trump from the liberal media onslaught, at times feigning faux purity when the left dug deep into the mud. But they assumed Trump supporters were so stupid and forgetful, they could now appear to have had his back all along and it was now their job to remind us as well.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107233 size-medium" title="The #NeverTrump Shit List" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-150x77.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-150x77.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-768x394.png 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-500x256.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list.png 800w" width="150" height="77" />There is a <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/06/25/boycott-all-on-the-nevertrump-shit-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#NeverTrump shit list</a> for a reason and it remains relevant to this day.</p>
<p>If we’re to be fair and are dismissing the liberal media because they colluded with Hillary’s campaign, we should also dismiss the conservative media that also worked against Donald Trump but can now hide behind the convenience of being Republicans.</p>
<p>We all are entitled to our opinions and candidates must make their case to get our votes. But to attempt to rig an outcome behind our backs and now act like they were always one of us…?</p>
<p>This is yet another reason why God gave us middle fingers.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">8/28/20 UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>It took almost four years, but ONE conservative has finally publicly acknowledged and apologized for his public error in judgment.</p>

<p>You’d have to live close to The Beltway to understand how the Donald Trump campaign has upset the standard operating procedure of Washington, D.C. and the consultant, political operative class. The easiest way to describe the filth that exists here is with an analogy.</p>

What would we be saying about the dedication and loyalty to the fans if players on the losing teams started <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/jeb-bush-staffers-campaign-jobs-219518" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sending their resumes</a> to the teams that were beating them before the game was even over? That NEVER happens in sports but it DOES in politics because these staffers have no loyalty to a candidate or his or her supporters; ONLY to themselves and how much donor cash they can suck into their own bank accounts.</p>
<p><strong>That’s why we saw Reagan-Bush people working on the McCain campaign, Reagan-Bush-McCain people working on the Romney campaign, and now Reagan-Bush-McCain-Romney people working on today’s campaigns, not to mention all of the other primary loser’s people.</strong></p>
<p><strong>That is, except on the Trump campaign.</strong></p>
<p>Donald Trump has dared use his own money and selected a team from people he obviously knows and trust; not from the large pool of proven, experienced win-or-losers who care more about the paycheck than the the American people, and THAT is one reason why the establishment hates Trump. He hasn’t opened his checkbook to them as he was supposed to.</p>
<p>And that brings us to…</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Conservative Media ‘Leaders’</strong></span></h2>
<p>We have all these so-called “conservative” leaders who no one elected, have never run for a political office <em>(thus really sticking their necks out)</em>, defining conservatism as they so deem, and anyone who dares not follow their lead will incur their wrath, for all that’s really worth.</p>
<p>So, who the hell are THEY?</p>

Has any one of you ever voted for Dana Loesch to be a “leader”? How about Erick Erickson or Brent Bozell or Katie Pavlich or Jenny Beth Martin or Rich Lowry, as well as any of the others who work at glorified, top-heavy nonprofit blogs dependent on big money donors or the charitable donations of retirees?</p>
<p><em>NOTE: We don’t mean to dash any inflated egos but there are tens of millions of good Republicans out there who’ve never heard of RedState, the Media Research Center, Townhall, the Heritage Foundation, National Review, and/or the myriad of self-important blogs that believe they are oh-so influential with Republican politicians.</em></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Oprah talks about President-elect Barack Obama" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama.jpg" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-106111 noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106111 size-medium" title="Oprah talks about President-elect Barack Obama" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-150x103.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-150x103.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-500x343.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="103" /></a>Do Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Michael Medved, or Hugh Hewitt remember what happened to the Oprah Winfrey empire once she publicly chose sides with the black guy and rubbed it in the face of her audience members that supported the white woman? To say her empire tanked without recovery would be an understatement, and the arrogance of these so-called conservatives to believe the audience they presently insult will beg to come back home once the general election dust clears is .</p>
<p>I believe Rush Limbaugh remembers, which is why he’s observing the competition and not favoring one opponent over another.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>They Believe They’re Immune From Backlash</strong></span></h2>
<p>Self-anointed conservative leaders sure believe they’re your representatives and have come right out and said that anyone who supports Donald Trump is an ignoramus, has mental issues, or worse. Mark Levin arrogantly continues to rant for Ted Cruz, redefining conservatism and <a href="https://blackandblondemedia.com/2016/02/10/if-reagan-could-convert-to-conservatism-why-not-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rewriting the creds of Ronald Reagan</a>, hoping his listeners won’t know they’re being played.</p>

<p>The unelected “conservative” leaders are as intolerant as black Democrats who banish family members who <em>(oh, Lawd)</em> rebel and vote Republican and feel justified in using the taboo racial slurs against them. A vote for someone who hasn’t paid his dues and spread donor money to the party leech apparatus is misguided, and anyone who votes Trump is thought to be unworthy of intellectual consideration and is insulted on-air with the arrogance conservatives have attacked liberals about for years.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Senator Ted Cruz with Glenn Beck in Ankeny, Iowa" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck.jpg" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-106115 noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106115 size-medium" title="Senator Ted Cruz with Glenn Beck in Ankeny, Iowa" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-150x101.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-500x338.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck.jpg 592w" alt="" width="150" height="101" /></a>The presidential campaign of Donald Trump has turned the sunlight on the process. Not only are we witnessing the attempt by the Republican Party <em>(and their has-beens)</em> to nullify the will of the people, we are seeing the political whore class exposed for the disloyal, money grubbers they are.</p>
<p>Donald Trump is NOT with the refined, scripted, phony consultant-class program, is still winning, and that just pisses them off, while millions of others are delighted that “change” isn’t something exclusive to the left.</p>
<p>As a public service, Donald Trump didn’t give the leeches his money. Taken as a declaration of war by the campaign staff class, the Republican donor class has poured millions of dollars into these bruised-egos and their value <em>(or lack their of)</em> is being revealed to the world.</p>
<p>So, let the RNC and the others try and meddle with the will of the people. You KNOW, Mr. Trump has an app ready for that and he’ll make sure it hurts.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On numerous occasions, we’ve dared show examples of mistakes and even worse, poor judgment when it comes to the Fox News Channel personnel. While the assertion could be made that the world is a slightly better place because of their presence, the responses we received whenever criticizing Fox News was, in some cases, nothing short of insulting a deity.</p>
<p>But what’s even more revealing is their total lack of humility in the aftermath of the first major GOP debate. While they may say otherwise, we’ll stick our necks out in saying Fox News and Republicans might have maybe enjoyed a quarter of the record <a href="http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/fox-news-has-most-watched-primary-debate-ever-24-million-tune-in/269157" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">24 million viewers</a> if not for the interest brought by candidate Donald Trump.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Trump and the &quot;pledge&quot;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-101925 size-medium" title="Trump and the &quot;pledge&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>That said, he was clearly set up from the beginning. While NO ONE we’ve seen or heard has yet to mention those <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2015/08/04/trumps-justified-independent-threat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“GOP donors and operatives”</a> and their possible collusion with certain Republican candidates against Trump, Fox News clearly went out of their way to play a couple of “got’chas” on the front runner. There’s one thing Fox News still hasn’t understood to this day: the debates were about the people getting an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the important issues, not about Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly or Bret Baier.</p>
<p>And as far as the malfeasance of the debate itself, Mark Levin offers some insight you’ll NEVER hear the narcissists at Fox News address, and with good reason….</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNdhe09HVO8" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>Despite how many people still love and blindly support Fox News, if Megyn Kelly wants to direct a question about misogyny to Trump with any credibility, she should have previously taken FNC to task for the ease at which some could be reduced to the “boob joke” <a href="https://youtu.be/bDXWzlZ1SsE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">juvenile</a>, and even her willing participation in the glass desk, leg-shot exploitation of the female body for ratings…</p>

Especially with all that’s happened to people with pizza and wedding cake shops who expressed religious beliefs as a reason not to serve to gays, millions of Christian conservatives <strong>still don’t know</strong> of Fox News’ sponsorship of the <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2013/08/23/fnc-joining-in-to-make-sure-all-lgbt-news-is-good/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Lesbian &amp; Gay Journalists Association</a> in making sure any news about gays is good. Ever hear them mention that; you know, full disclosure?</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Megyn Kelly, GQ" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-48245 size-medium" title="Megyn Kelly, GQ" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ-150x243.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ-150x243.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ.jpg 296w" alt="" width="150" height="243" /></a>And while everyone’s now in full-dig mode, some things Megyn Kelly’s said in HER past may prove <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/08/08/an-old-recording-of-megyn-kelly-talking-about-penises-breasts-and-how-she-has-sex-proves-trump-was-right-kelly-is-absolute-trash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Trump was right about her</a> all along and she’d say almost anything for attention.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Shoebat.com found a </span><a href="https://youtu.be/lsb-5dIqEBw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">five year old interview of Meghan Kelly</a><span style="color: #808080;"> when she was climbing up the ladder not minding to get on the Howard Stern Show to gain fame while allowing Stern to discuss with her every sort of smut including her private sex live which is supposed to be sacred. She laughs and is okay with Stern discussing penises, breasts, in a very trashy nonchalant way.</span></p>
<p>Whoops. And isn’t it amazing that just five years ago, no one could’ve cared less what a Megyn Kelly was?</p>
<p>We know of many people on the right who’s main goal is to do anything that would get them on Fox News, and once there the arrogance gets thick. Whether it’s the righteous rantings of O’Reilly, liberal Krauthammer <em>(who seemingly uses his wheelchair to deflect any criticism)</em>, Rivera, Smith, Kelly, Kilmeade, Bolling, Powers, Tantaros, or Guilfoyle, there are less than a handful in that whole organization that appears to have any humility, which is a very important component in delivering “fair and balanced” news coverage.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I have invited Megyn Kelly to attend in Donald Trump’s place tomorrow night.</span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Kelly and Erickson" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-101956 size-medium" title="Kelly and Erickson" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-150x87.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-500x290.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson.jpg 525w" alt="" width="150" height="87" /></a>… which is quite ironic as <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/megyn-kelly-dominates-on-fox" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kelly once went off on Erickson</a> about HIS sexist remarks.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I was offended by the piece nonetheless. I didn’t like what you wrote one bit, and I do think you are judging people. To me, you sound like somebody who’s judging but wants to come out and say, “I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, now let me judge, judge, judge. And, by the way, it’s science, science, science, it’s fact, fact, fact, fact, fact.” Well, I mean, I have a whole — this is a list of studies saying your science is wrong and your facts are wrong.</span></p>
<p>Because of the backlash, he’s also now trying to <a href="http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2015/08/08/brody-file-exclusive-erick-erickson-getting-angry-emails-from-trump.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">play the victim</a> because his own words are <a href="http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/258916/sexist-erick-erickson-scolds-trump-for-sexist-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coming back to haunt</a> and like Fox News digging deep to find dirt on Trump, all sides are now going way back into the musings of Erick and it didn’t take long for the left to strike gold.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Erickson’s past comments include referring to Michelle Obama as a “Marxist harpy wife,” and claiming that pro-choice women were “feminazis…too ugly to get a date.” Actually, Media Matters has a</span> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/2015/08/04/gop-2016-contenders-are-courting-erick-erickson/204736#other" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pretty incredible rundown</a> <span style="color: #808080;">of a lot of the sexist, homophobic, and just generally awful things Erickson has said in the past.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a title="@EWErickson Tweet" href="https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/1665525087"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-101944 size-large" title="@EWErickson Tweet" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-500x210.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-500x210.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-150x63.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet.jpg 556w" alt="" width="500" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>And after only 257 comments, Erickson’s even closed the comments to his <a href="http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/07/i-have-disinvited-donald-trump-to-the-redstate-gathering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“disinvite”</a> post.</p>

<p>“Babysit”…? Pretty arrogant, but that fits right in with the theme of our post.</p>
<p>As Erickson is a “Fox News contributor”, he probably gambled the channel might have his back on this if he sucked up enough. THIS is exactly what the “GOP donors and operatives” wanted. They just needed time to find useful idiots.</p>

<p>Despite the blatant attempt to damage Trump, we’re once again reminded that our media attempts to be the ones who select our candidates, thus our leaders. The question need be repeatedly asked, who do they think THEY are?</p>
