What happens when a liberal tries to discuss the facts of the Obama scandals on Faux News? He gets his mic cut off.
Watch what happened to Julian Epstein when he insisted on having a
discussion centered around the facts of the Obama scandals with Faux exec
Neil Cavuto.
Transcript:
Cavuto: Julian, but i guess what I’m asking is what part of
Custer don’t you understand here where you’re surrounded and you see one
incident after another the comes up and add it all it comes back to the
same basic issue privacy is invaded were potentially invaded
institutions of all sorts doing pretty much the same thing. There is a
pattern.
Epstein: If you want to conflate and combine all these issues and
make a general statements, you can do that. I just don’t think that is a
very thoughtful way of approaching it.
Cavuto: Why don’t you think about what I just said, Julian? To think
and connect, Julian, Julian don’t play the politics game. Julian, I’m
telling you drop the liberal thing and focus on the reality thing! You
have one entity after another going after American people. You have one
system of government, one agency after another essentially doing the
same thing. You can call that conflating; I am telling you there’s a
pattern and you’re just shrugging your shoulders. But I can guarantee
you, Julian if it were George Bush doing it, you’d be all over it.
Epstein: That’s actually incorrect. You want me to respond? So look,
you can’t conflate all of these issues. You have to speak about them
seperately because they’re different. In the case of the IRS, I agree
with you. The targeting was wrong. There was never any connection to the
White House. Nobody has proven that. In the case of the AP case, nobody
was criminalizing investigative reporting. Nobody in the Justice
Department ever spoke of prosecuting Rosen, that was simply a method to
get a subpoena. That was not targeting. Secondly, on the emails.
Cavuto: Julian, Julian!!
(Crosstalk)
Epstein: Because I want to talk facts, and you want to make these general broadsides, Neil.
Cavuto: Julian, you’re saying nothing and it’s offensive!
Epstein: Okay, why don’t we speak about them specifically?
Cavuto: Julian, why don’t you talk facts? It’s annoying how obnoxious
you can be on the reality. I’m not going to play this game with you,
Julian. You play the same damn game dismissing.
(Epstein tried to talk.)
Cavuto: Cut his mic! Cut his mic!
That liberal thing that Cavuto was accusing Epstein of doing is
called using facts. Faux News has no interest in the facts relating to
these “Obama scandals.” Anyone who persistently tries to inject facts
into the Obama scandal fantasy will be shouted down, and have their mic
cut off. That’s just how they do it over at fair and balanced Faux News.
Since these scandals have puttered out due to a lack of evidence,
Cavuto was trying to create something that was greater than the sum of
its weak parts by trying to tie all of the conspiracies into a pattern
of behavior. It should be noted that Cavuto isn’t just a host. He is
also a Faux News executive. Apparently, the executive policy of Faux News
is to cut the mics of people who try to use facts in their
conversations.
Cavuto’s behavior illustrated why these “scandals” are bad for the repugican cabal. The right is obsessing over these scandals. Just like
with all of the other Obama conspiracies that they’ve gotten hung up on,
they don’t understand that the rest of the country doesn’t care. Obama
scandal mania pushes repugicans more into their delusions, and isolates them
from mainstream America.
Obama scandals have always been the right’s emotional crutch and
comfort food. The economy is improving regularly. Many of their beloved
tea party governors look to be headed for defeat in 2014. Things are
generally looking up for the country. Their plan to ruin the Obama
presidency has been a total failure, so these “scandals” are the only
thing that repugicans have left to hold on to.
As if there was ever any doubt, Neil Cavuto has proven once and for all that there is no room for reality on Faux News.
