House Dems: We Want Fox News To Answer For...

[MMC]

House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) last month sent a letter to former Fox News host Diana Falzone asking for her to provide documentation about the conservative cable network's decision not to run reports about Stormy Daniels' alleged affair with President Donald Trump. Although Falzone has a Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) with Fox, her attorney said NDA's exclude government investigations.


According to a report from The New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/03/11/the-making-of-the-fox-news-white-house), Falzone had specific details about Daniels' alleged affair with Trump and the amount he allegedly paid her to keep her quiet.


“She had the amount, she had the corporate names that the original settlement was named in, she had the dates of the affair and she asked me to confirm those details," Daniels' attorney, Keith Davidson, told MSNBC (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/bucking-nda-ex-fox-news-reporter-plans-tell-congress-about-n983561).


While Democrats are quick to say that Fox News was trying to "burry the story" to protect President Trump, Fox News executive Ken LaCorte said the story lacked any credible evidence. LaCorte wrote a piece in Mediaite (https://www.mediaite.com/online/i-stopped-the-stormy-daniels-story-at-fox-news-heres-why/), explaining his decision to put a lid on the story (emphasis mine):


The Democrats have had an issue with Trump taking on the mainstream media and calling out their fake news. They've gone to bat for CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post and The New York Times. They're all about protecting the "freedom of the press" except when it comes to Fox News. You know why? Because Fox bucks their narrative and actually waits until evidence is there to corroborate what's being said. Executives like LaCorte weren't going to publish a news story that could ultimately be false. They wanted to have their ducks in a row with proof in their hands. That's not "protecting the president." It's called being a responsible journalist......snip~

As usual.....Democrats prove just how much stupidity they involve themselves in and create. Of course Elijah doesn't have the brain capacity to figure out why Leftists News Sources are saying something about Fox News. This mope is completely brain dead.


It is clear to the people that the Demos will not do anything to better off Americans and the Country. That they are a about anything that wastes the Peoples money and time. This is pathetic.....Because Leftist sources say. So we need to look into Fox.

Maybe he should be more concerned with the DNC's unwillingness to face serious questions from Fox News moderators in one of their debates.

The supposed straight newswoman asked former FBI Director James Comey in a recent interview whether federal law enforcement officials should have done more during the 2016 election to punish Donald Trump and his supporters for chanting “lock her up!” about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Of course, ‘lock her up!’ was a feature of the 2016 Trump campaign,” Amanpour said (https://hotair.com/archives/2019/04/02/christiane-amanpour-government-allowed-chanting-2016/) toward the conclusion of her interview with Comey.

She added, “Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, I mean the people in charge of law and order had shut down that language — that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it’s kind of hate speech — should that have been allowed?”

What? They are a private entertainment operation. they can and do pick and choose which stories they run based upon how they will appeal to their viewers. As does CNN, MSNBC, etc. Like sports the news bizz has become another wing of the entertainment bizz.
Besides , when did we become a country where a porn star can screw someone and get money for not talking about it. And then in addition talk about it anyway. And of course who cares? If I had his money I might have a porn star or at least a couple high end hookers under my belt. What difference does it make? I mean it's kind of slimy and a security risk for a president. But he was not PRESIDENT at the time.

But the reality is.....they did cover it.


Two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, as the editorial head of Fox News online, I reviewed a draft news story that said porn actress Stormy Daniels had confirmed having an affair with Donald Trump a decade earlier. The only problem was … Stormy hadn’t said that.


Daniels and her associates were playing a bizarre cat-and-mouse game with Fox News and other outlets, trying to get their story out without fingerprints and, ultimately, without enough proof to publish.
We and others practiced solid journalism. Now, that’s being spun in an effort to prove the opposite.



...
On October 18, I got my first look at the Stormy Daniels story written by Fox reporter Diana Falzone, who primarily covered celebrity news for print and video. It wasn’t a detailed investigative piece as the media has portrayed this week, but a 9-paragraph story that sorely needed backup.


It included: a two-word confirmation – “it’s true” – from an unnamed Daniels “spokesperson,” an anonymous quote from a friend who said she’d dropped off Daniels to meet Trump at a hotel, and quotes from The Dirty owner, who said that he had spoken to Daniels in 2011 and she had confirmed the affair.


It lacked: any mention of payments, a hush money contract or any corroborating evidence beyond the two secondhand accounts.
On top of that, Stormy Daniels herself had publicly denied the whole thing, a denial she would maintain for another year.


The story wasn’t close to being publishable, and my decision to hold it was a no-brainer. I didn’t do it to help Trump and never said nor implied otherwise. It was such an easy call that I never even informed my direct boss or anyone in management about it.


Still, our editors told Falzone to keep digging until, a week before the election, Stormy and her friends went radio silent.....snip~
