A former Fox News employee said the network blocked her from going to Moscow to investigate President Donald Trump’s links with Russia, one of several claims of news bias at 21st Century Fox Inc. made by former and current workers opposing its takeover of Sky Plc.
“You can’t do in-depth reporting if you’re not there,” said Jessica Golloher, a former Fox Radio correspondent who is suing the division for gender discrimination, at a gathering with U.K. lawmakers and citizens in Parliament on Monday.
“Fox didn’t let me go to Moscow to dig into Trump’s Russian connections, even when I offered to pay my own way.” “Fox is just buying what the White House is selling,” she said.
Golloher’s claim follows allegations earlier this year that Trump colluded with Fox on a story to divert attention from his ties with Russia. She made the remarks shortly after meeting the Competition & Markets Authority, which is investigating the 11.7 billion-pound ($15.5 billion) Sky merger on grounds of media plurality and whether Fox has a genuine commitment to broadcasting standards.
When reached for comment, a Fox representative cited a Fox News statement from May without reference to Monday’s hearing. In May, the company said, “Jessica Golloher’s claims are without merit. Her allegations of discrimination and retaliation are baseless. We will vigorously defend the matter.”
I'm not sure we even need confirmation that Fox News had no interest in pursuing this story.
After all they have done virtually everything they could to bury it and deflect attention from it.
That is why every time there is a new revelation about the Mueller investigation on CNN or MSNBC a new allegation against the Clintons gets trotted out on the Sean Hannity show and Fox and Friends.
At this point they should simply rename Fox News "The Donald Trump Network of Deflection and Misinformation."
Trump and his big mouth has given AT&T their defense for the justice department blocking the merger,political motivation.
ReplyDeleteBOENTE WAS ASKED TO RESIGN BY TRUMP
ReplyDelete- he did not voluntarily resign. He was happy Trump had previously asked Boente to stay on and then unexpectedly Trump asked for his resignation.
This is old news (October) but MSNBC was talking about it yesterday and reported this may be Trump's way to fire Mueller. MSNBC said something about indictments of Trump's peoples may have had something to do with it.
NEWSWEEK:
DANA BOENTE’S RESIGNATION AS U.S. ATTORNEY COULD ENDANGER MUELLER’S RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
With the resignation of Dana Boente on Friday as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, President Donald Trump has an opportunity to replace another Obama-era holdover in the Department of Justice line of succession. If Trump demands that the department fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and if enough officials resign or get fired rather than carry out his order, the decision to do so could fall to Boente’s successor.
Vanity Fair: Kushner worried Mueller probe will 'get' Trump
ReplyDeleteWhite House senior adviser Jared Kushner is facing a reduced role in the White House and has expressed concern that a special probe into the 2016 election may "get" President Trump, according to a report from Vanity Fair on Tuesday.
Kushner has come under scrutiny in recent weeks in special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
He reportedly has expressed worry about how far the investigation might go following the indictments of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
"Do you think they'll get the president?" Kushner reportedly asked a friend.

CNN:
Trump calls LaVar Ball an 'ungrateful fool'
By Maegan Vazquez, CNN
Updated 8:20 AM ET, Wed November 22, 2017
Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump took to Twitter to continue to rail against LaVar Ball, the father of a UCLA basketball player who was detained for shoplifting in China.
At 5:25 am, ET, Trump rehashed his beef with Ball, who has been reluctant to thank the President for his role in his son's release from China.
"It wasn't the White House, it wasn't the State Department, it wasn't father LaVar's so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man's version of Don King, but without the hair," Trump tweeted in part....

Question for you, Durward: How many fans watching at home are out in the kitchen piling up a plate and/or grabbing a beverage during the anthem? But they're standing, right?
DeleteI am so SICK of this stupid debate.
Historically, that’s what they used to do. This new tradition has just been since night games and television.
DeleteTrump is at Mar-a-lago with his family to celebrate Thanksgiving and is determined to have the last word about something not important to Americans.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Trump Tweet-
...LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!
