Given the revelation that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson never got vaccinated while almost all other local, broadcast and cable news hosts and personalities browbeat and shamed their viewers to get vaccinated for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, it can’t be honestly assumed that he was the only one who didn’t get the jab.

After months of amplifying vaccine skepticism while refusing to disclose his own immunization status, Fox News host Tucker Carlson told attendees at a recent megachurch event that he’s not had a single COVID-19 shot.

“I skipped the first three; I’m not getting that one either,” Carlson said of additional booster shots while speaking at San Diego’s Awaken Church earlier this month, according to audio obtained by the Daily Beast and first reported by Voice of San Diego. He claimed he was not against vaccines but took issue with the ones protecting against COVID-19.

It even went out for mass consumption that those in the media were required to get vaccinated as an example to all of us.

It does not appear Fox News is mandating staffers be vaccinated before entering their respective bureaus. At least not yet. Other media companies, namely WarnerMedia and Disney, are not allowing staffers to be in the office unless they have been vaccinated. In fact, WarnerMedia-owned CNN recently fired three staffers for entering the office unvaccinated. It does not appear Fox News is taking the big “mandatory vaccination” step at the moment.

So the food-for-thought question should be how many of those who were demanding we all get vaccinated (so we don’t kill others) didn’t get vaccinated themselves? Those who got jabbed and still caught COVID-19 made sure we knew about their suffering.

How many of those local and national prompter-readers who demanded we get vaxxed, got vaxxed themselves and still contracted the virus ever said sorry to the millions who listen to them and still got sick? There’s a good chance their viewers may not even know they got sick; they were “on assignment”, vacation, leave, etc.

While Tucker Carlson didn’t demand his viewers get vaccinated and was routinely blasted for being a skeptic, many others on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, NPR, PBS, and almost all of their affiliated reminded us hourly of our civic duty. Remember, these people deemed themselves special. They would never risk their and their family’s health if they didn’t have to. The general public’s health is only of genuine concern if the special has to be in their proximity.

They’re also privy to information they can selectively withhold from the public, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that some knew the vaccine might not be as advertised and opted not to personally follow the demands they were making to their audiences.

Chris Hayes: Go Get The Updated Covid Booster Shot

It could very well be coincidental, but I can’t seem to find any verification on Chris Hayes’ vaccination status. You’d think he’d want to lead by example and let the whole world know.

Albert Bourla didn’t want to cut the line. Yeah, sure.

Of course, we’ll never know the answer to those and many more questions. While they revel in their abilities to destroy the lives of anyone they report about, the journalist class demands we observe and respect their privacy so any question as to their vaccination status is none of our business.

I think it’s dangerous. We’re in a dangerous phase right now, where too many millions of Americans aren’t listening at all to what the press tells them.
— Megyn Kelly

Okay, Megyn has the spotlight, people are listening and the initial reviews are mixed, depending on the reviewer’s perspective.

Newsday: Megyn Kelly off to rough start with NBC show’s premiere

The portion of the panel discussion not aired by NBC shows national heads of state that weren’t impressed by Kelly and an audience that regarded many of her questions and comments as failed punchlines.

Kelly repeatedly recited the simple “all 17 intelligence agencies” confirmed-Russian-interference mantra despite authoritative comments to the contrary.

As you know, the I.C. [intelligence community assessment] was a coordinated product from three agencies; CIA, NSA, and the FBI not all 17 components of the intelligence community. Those three under the aegis of my former office.
— James Clapper, Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing testimony, 5/8/17

If you think about it, Megyn Kelly has really done the country a service as up to this point, the media’s been making very harsh accusations that have foreign policy ramifications and all based on unnamed “officials” and “anonymous sources”. These are the first responses to these allegations by someone who would have actual knowledge of the topic and President Putin shot them down in a mocking fashion.

The truncated clip that aired on NBC within Kelly’s Sunday Night segment portrayed her as forceful and respected by the panelists that included the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, the Federal Chancellor of Austria Christian Kern, the President of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon, as well as the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. However in the unedited panel video, when Kelly tried to get some kind of affirmation from the others in the panel, none were willing to offer her a lifeline of verification or agreement.

Kelly is clearly trying to make Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly the NBC version of CBS’s “60 Minutes”. The difference being that while the CBS audience may be dwindling, most people don’t dislike the hosts, whoever they are. Megyn Kelly left Fox News, not for the reasons disclosed by publicists, but because she mishandled her moderator position during the 2016 presidential debates and questions directed at candidate Donald Trump. She alienated many in her audience, doubled down on her attacks, tried to make good, demanded an outrageous salary Fox News passed on, and now she believes she can revive her career as a between $16 and $20 million-a-year liberal pit bull.

Unfortunately for her, Megyn Kelly can’t MAKE us listen to her and that must just piss her off.

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 24 million viewers if not for the interest brought by candidate Donald Trump.

That said, he was clearly set up from the beginning. While NO ONE we’ve seen or heard has yet to mention those “GOP donors and operatives” 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.

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….

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” juvenile, and even her willing participation in the glass desk, leg-shot exploitation of the female body for ratings…

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 still don’t know of Fox News’ sponsorship of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association in making sure any news about gays is good. Ever hear them mention that; you know, full disclosure?

And while everyone’s now in full-dig mode, some things Megyn Kelly’s said in HER past may prove Donald Trump was right about her all along and she’d say almost anything for attention.

Shoebat.com found a five year old interview of Meghan Kelly 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.

Whoops. And isn’t it amazing that just five years ago, no one could’ve cared less what a Megyn Kelly was?

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 (who seemingly uses his wheelchair to deflect any criticism), 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.

And now, in what must be the “suck-up of the year” and to the further delight of the liberal media, instead of asking Trump to clarify his latest comments on Megyn Kelly either before or during the next debate, Erick Erickson of RedState, decided to “disinvite” Donald Trump from his event….

I have invited Megyn Kelly to attend in Donald Trump’s place tomorrow night.

… which is quite ironic as Kelly once went off on Erickson about HIS sexist remarks.

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.

Because of the backlash, he’s also now trying to play the victim because his own words are coming back to haunt 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.

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 pretty incredible rundown of a lot of the sexist, homophobic, and just generally awful things Erickson has said in the past.

And after only 257 comments, Erickson’s even closed the comments to his “disinvite” post.

“Babysit”…? Pretty arrogant, but that fits right in with the theme of our post.

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.

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?

First of all, Playboy thought this would be great to alert the blogs about this insightful piece of commentary…

Subject line: So Right It’s Wrong

Hello —
I just wanted to pass on the link to “So Right It’s Wrong,” an article on the top 10 conservative women we hate to love. It just went live on our site this morning.

Of course, after the unexpected condemnations came in, Playboy scrubbed the page from the Internet.

Secondly, for some strange reason Politico’s Anne Schroeder Mullins didn’t see much of an issue and almost apologized, not for Guy Cimbalo’s poor choice of sentiment, but that the tightly-wound got all worked up in the first place.

Obama promised us the dream of post-partisanship—a cuckoo land where party affiliation and factional animosity were forgotten. Turn on cable news or open any newspaper, however, and you’ll quickly discover that the dream has yet to materialize. But there is a way to reach across the aisle without letting principles fall by the wayside. We speak, naturally, of the hate fuck. We may despise everything these women represent, but goddammit they’re hot. Let the healing begin.
— The Top 10 Conservative Women We’d Like To Filibuster

Mr. Cimbalo’s personal appearance implies someone who has to pay for it, and if all else fails….

Of course, in Cimbalo’s serial rape fantasy, the women are, quite literally, asking for it. There’s nothing they want more than for Guy Cimbalo to teach them a sexually degrading lesson. Apparently “bilious simpleton” Elisabeth Hasselbeck “wouldn’t mind putting [her Catholic school uniform] on before taking it off for a session of sweaty, anti-American hate f***ing. And Malkin’s “tight body and get-off-my-lawn stare just scream, ‘Do me!’”
— The New Agenda, 6/1/09

Since Playboy was so pussified as to removing the offending piece, please allow me to share with you some of Mr. Cimbalo’s musings…

#10. Peggy Noonan
“Imagine fucking your grandmother.”

#9. Michele Bachmann

#8. Pamela Geller

#7. Laura Ingraham

#6. Dana Perino

#5. Elisabeth Hasselbeck

#4. Amanda Carpenter

#3. Mary Katharine Ham

#2. Megyn Kelly
“You need to flagellate your genitals for wanting to fuck this woman.”

#1. Michelle Malkin

Now, I try to be very careful when commenting on the personal appearance of others, but rape may be the only way this Guido-lookin’ Guy Cimbalo can get any. Obviously liberal women aren’t knocking down his door so he needed to lash out at what he deems unattainable.

The fact that he felt comfortable writing this shows that there is clearly a double standard. If ANYONE, let alone a conservative, had written about liberal women worthy of being raped, that person would be lucky if he’d ever be able to show his face in public again. The media would be running leads on this, and ACORN would be sending bus tours to picket his home.

But notice how little you’ve heard about this?

That’s because conservatives, in the liberal mind, should be raped or worse. Sarah Palin can be hanged in effigy with nary a word from feminist organizations (NOW commented only after being contacted by Hasselbeck). A Top 10 list of potential rape victims can be created by a Playboy writer, and still silence from the liberals.

Do we now see whom we’re dealing with?
