the White House Correspondents tribe is not going to let the Acosta thing go easily into the good night:

White House Photographers Assn says it "is appalled to learn that the White House spokesperson may have shared a manipulated video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s interaction with a White House intern during a news conference. ... Manipulating images is manipulating truth."

In reply to I have this theory AA.

Yeah I saw parts of the press conference and it was certainly CRANKY SPANKY all the way. He could have been Sister Mary Joseph having a breakdown in front of her 3rd grade class. On the other hand, it also reminded me of the parodies on The President Show where they long ago already did him as having a third grader type tantrum.

On Fox, you got me thinking a bit about what the heck kind of writing they actually do have on their wall! They've got this shocking present early on when they found that they could feed a new president talking points in the morning and then hear them come out of his mouth in the afternoon. That he was listening more to them than his own advisors. And they've milked it forever and a day. Did they think it was going to last forever? Better start with some new old controversy. Evil Nancy Pelosi?! Sold before. Yuge meme, actually, always good for getting the viewers to put down their remotes....

I have this theory AA.

I have this theory AA.

Some Fox bigwigs got together, saw the writing on the wall and decided to call it early so that they could spin the loss as quickly as possible.

By the way, did you happen to see and hear the anger and loss from Spanky today?

Fun!

on the Fox early call of Dems taking the House:

After Hannity’s travesty, Fox News redeems itself (just a tad) with a bold election night decision

By Margaret Sullivan @ WashingtonPost.com, Nov. 7

Nothing could balance out the journalistic embarrassment of Fox News Channel star Sean Hannity appearing at an onstage love fest with President Trump this week at a Missouri campaign rally.

But the network’s “decision desk” valiantly gestured in that direction on Tuesday night when it made an early prediction that the House would flip to the Democrats.

It was a stunning moment.

Coming just after 9:30 p.m., the bold call blew election observers’ minds.

For the next 45 minutes or so — an eon in election night time — no other news organization backed up Fox. And it wasn’t until 11 p.m. that CNN made its own similar decision.

After about half an hour of that special kind of loneliness, Fox’s politics editor came on the set to talk about it.

“Why are we making that call?” anchor Bret Baier asked Chris Stirewalt.

“We are just that good,” was Stirewalt’s confident reply.

The call, of course, turned out to be right — and it was a triumph for a network that had had a terrible week from a journalistic perspective [.....]

The worst loss was the Attorney General position in Florida. If that had flipped, we'd have a mini-revolution.
