Savannah Guthries Appalling Amber Heard Interview
The Today co-host sat down with Heard for her first interview following her loss in ex Johnny Depps defamation trial against hereven though her husband consulted for Team Depp.
The Today co-host sat down with Heard for her first interview following her loss in ex Johnny Depps defamation trial against hereven though her husband consulted for Team Depp.
.... The week prior, Guthrie disclosed that her husband, Michael Feldman, worked as an adviser for Depps legal team during the defamation trial right before launching into an interview with Depps attorneys Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew. The interview went viral on Twitter and was met with immediate backlash from users claiming a conflict of interest. ....
If I was Amber Heards publicist or pr person, I probably wouldnt grant my clients first major interview with someone who disclosed a conflict of interest, wrote one Twitter user.
If Guthrie is to continue to do these interviews, TODAY needs to make much larger disclaimers that Guthrie, through her husbands consulting gig, was personally enriched by the Depp PR team, posted another. The flagrant conflict of interest is so disrespectful to Ms. Heard.
Journalism experts have since weighed in on the controversy in a Business Insider report, calling the decision for Guthrie to interview Depps lawyers a little nuts and highlighting a financial stake, seeing as how Feldman could be utilized again when Heard seeks to appeal the jury verdict. ....

Media Ignoring Ginni Thomas Treason

The press isnt all that interested in telling the obvious truth about Ginni and Clarence Thomas.
The Sunday morning talk shows sprinted into gaffe patrol mode after President Joe Biden made a 9-word, ad-libbed comment in Poland over the weekend about how Vladimir Putin should not be allowed to stay in power in Russia.
On Meet the Press, USA Todays Susan Page emphasized Bidens comment was distracting and undisciplined. The assembled pundits spent nearly ten minutes discussion the story, along with a new NBC poll that was bad news for Biden. (Inflation!)
What was mostly ignored by the round table was the blockbuster story about Virginia (Ginni) Thomas, wife of right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She had been texting unhinged QAnon-like messages to Trumps chief of staff after the 2020 election, strategizing and urging that Bidens victory be overturned, saving America from the end of Liberty. The NBC pundits on Sunday spent 45 seconds discussing that story.
Like when Trump was recently caught smuggling boxes of top-secret documents out of the White House, the Beltway press is treating Ginni Thomas seditious assault on democracy as a middling story; one that will likely receive little or no new coverage in coming days.
The revelation that Thomas plugged-in wife who enjoyed easy access to the Trump White House hoped that Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition, came just after Republican Senators used QAnon signaling during the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. She was smeared as a child pornography apologist.
Meet the Press was hardly alone in sleepwalking past the Ginni Thomas story, which represents another GOP direct assault on democracy and election integrity. ABC This Weeks round table spent ten minutes dissecting Bidens Putin gaffe, and just three minutes acknowledging the Supreme Courts stunning setback in terms of its reputation for fairness. (The Courts already at its lowest standing ever.)
Rupert Murdochs Wall Street Journal has yet to run a single page-one piece on the Thomas story and how she accused the Left of attempting the greatest Heist of our History, and complained about being disgusted with Vice President Mike Pence for approving the 2020 election results.
