Meegan McCAIN did her usual subversion/diverting of the topic to cover for SHITLER again.

[UTUSN]

I don't get what the McCAIN family game is to hang fire on SHITLER and keeping their sniping to little stuff here and there.

So the topic was how Leslie STAHL belatedly spilled beans about SHITLER's telling her he attacks and discredits the press so when negative stories about him come out that his zombies won't believe them. Wow, big surprise.

The real story is how he is destroying the free press along with all other democratic institutions.

So right away, Meegan started in on how she is very *concerned* that STAHL is breaking down traditions of "off the record" and "for background" and therefore the TRUST of the PRINCIPALS to have off the record confidences with certain journalists they trust.

She came back to it as soon as anybody else started talking, not letting Joy and Sunny and Whoopi get to the real meat, being the destruction of the press by SHITLER.

She herself said that she has totally private talks with certain journalists, unironically oblivious to throwing her pals under the bus since gossip is probably out there about who talks to whom.

Joy was barely able to get her bearings, saying that what's really important is that "WE ARE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION and people need to know it."

1. well, to be fair, Meghan McCain isnt qualified to speak out on anything at all let alone

this or anything, kinda like Sarah Huckster

No qualifications to do anything related to what they are doing but have famous fathers.

I think what is in it for her is she wants to make real patriots, i.e. liberals, squirm and suffer. I bet John would have a different take on this. As much as I despise most of what he stood for politically, the one thing he isnt is a liar and a traitor.

4. Clearly, her dream is to become Press Secretary in Trump's 2nd term.

[ecstatic]

2. She's so annoying! She really ruins the mood and flow of the show

I haven't watched it yet. Thanks for the heads up.

3. Annoying AND useless

[gratuitous]

5. Sure, Trump's trying to tear down media credibility

But the real scandal here is that Lesley Stahl talked about it 15 months later.

Damn.

6. AM taking self proclaimed personal privilege to cash in one Rec

for a supper kick

7. Hey trump is breaking all the rules so

turnabout fair play. Isn't that what they love about him ?

[ismnotwasm]

8. She's an asshole

I’m not overfond of the show but my husband watches it and I caught her claiming the other day her first 4 or 5 “women’s issues” was foreign policy. She’s weird.

9. It's daddy-daddy-daddy - What about the Keating5?!1

[EffieBlack]

10. I can't imagine ever defending anyone who treated my Daddy the way he treats hers

It would have taken one intentional insult and I would have been done.

[Kirk Lover]

11. This right here. Insulting on a National stage no less. nt

[UTUSN]

12. What about *him* also not blasting SHITLER?!1

[Cha]

13. Sucking up to the asshole who

treats her father like shite. Classy, Meghan McCain

[dflprincess]

14. I haven't read all the details of Stahl's story

did she say Spanky asked or was told the off-camera comments were "off the record"? If not, they were fair game as off-camera is not necessarily "off the record".

[UTUSN]

15. That became the whole focus of the "discussion." Sunny countered that "off the record" was not expl

explicit. Here at DU the focus is that STAHL is only spilling until 15 months later.
