By Larry Klayman RenewAmerica March 13, 2019 During the 1990s, after I conceived and founded Judicial Watch on July 29, 1994, I was initially one of the darlings of Fox News and its creator Roger Ailes. Indeed, Judicial Watch came into being around the same time as the network, which was then touted as a “fair and balanced” conservative media source. Given my Judicial Watch’s hard-hitting cases in the 1990’s to bring about justice for the many alleged crimes and scandals of Bill and Hillary Clinton, my appearances on Fox News were frequent and highly newsworthy. During these prime-time…

Sanders aide apologizes for questioning American Jews’ ‘dual allegiance’ to Israel By Marc Caputo, Holly Otterbein POLITICO March 13, 2019 A spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign apologized Tuesday after questioning whether the “American-Jewish community has a dual allegiance to the state of Israel” — a comment condemned by Jewish leaders across the political spectrum as having anti-Semitic overtones. “In a conversation on Facebook, I used some language that I see now was insensitive. Issues of allegiance and loyalty to one’s country come with painful history,” Bel����n Sisa, Sanders’ national deputy press secretary, told POLITICO. “At a time…

By Max Boot Washington Post March 12, 2019 Fox News is the most-watched cable network in the United States. Breitbart News is the 134th most-popular news site on the Internet, and has become notorious as a platform for the alt-right. Yet Breitbart seems to have higher standards than Fox News. After the far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos defended pedophilia (specifically, sexual relationships between adult men and 13-year-old boys whose organs are “mature”), he was forced to resign as a Breitbart editor. Tucker Carlson, by contrast, has not even been publicly reprimanded by his superiors at Fox News after the liberal…

Newsmax TV Guest Uses Tucker Carlson Controversy to Rail Against #MeToo By Timothy Burke The Daily Beast March 12, 2019 Because we watch Trumpland TV so you don’t have to, today we learned Judicial Watch founder and “pathologically litigious attorney” Larry Klayman is happy to dismiss Tucker Carlson’s offensive comments made years ago on radio, because the Fox News host isn’t a real conservative anyway—oh, and, by the way, #MeToo is all a bunch of hokum, too. We’re not sure how we made a leap into that second part so quickly, but don’t sue us if you get…

Daily Wire March 12, 2019 Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s comments on her show Sunday about Muslim Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar have prompted rebukes from both the Left and Right, as well as her own network. Omar was (indirectly) reprimanded last week by her own party for repeatedly working in anti-Semitic “dual loyalty” references about pro-Israel politicians. On “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Sunday, Pirro dedicated an “Opinion” segment to addressing Omar’s history of anti-Semitic rhetoric. Stressing that anti-Israel sentiments are not a part of the Democratic Party’s platform, Pirro suggested that a deeper loyalty than party loyalty might…

CNN’s Cuomo calls Tucker Carlson a ‘coward,’ says he should repeat his words or apologize By Rachel Frazin TheHill March 12, 2019 CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Monday called out Fox News host Tucker Carlson after audio surfaced of Carlson making derogatory comments about women, Muslims and other groups, challenging Carlson to repeat his words or apologize. “Would he say the same things today? No, no, he’s too busy playing the victim. He’d only say that he was ‘naughty.’ ” Cuomo said on his prime-time show. “Come on, big man. Read the list of all the things that you…

Tucker Carlson ‘caught’ making nasty remarks about women on radio Washington Examiner March 11, 2019 Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he was “caught” by a liberal media watchdog group that on Sunday published audio of him making disparaging and perverse comments about young girls and women years ago. “Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago,” Carlson, 49, said. “Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch.…

By Larry Klayman WND March 11, 2019 It’s more than high time to face facts about our so-called Department of Justice, now under the less-than-nominal control of its chief law-enforcement officer, President Donald J. Trump, and the two-faced do-nothing frightened Republicans in Congress. No matter how much false promotional hype you hear on Fox News to boost prime time ratings, or the futile pleas of my former colleagues and “document mavens” at Judicial Watch, do not expect any of them to redress the rampant corruption and sedition of the James Comeys, Rod Rosentsteins, Andrew McCabes, Bruce Ohrs, Peter Strzuks…
