Nunes: Follow-up. Plus: Pecker's predicament
It's a big news day, but I can't help paying attention to this Nunes nuttiness. Check it out:Nunes responded on Fox News Wednesday, saying he'd love to find out the sources of their reporting, and challenged several other stories run by the national news media company.What the hell? Why is this crazed congresscritter trying to create the impression that the Bee used hidden "sources"? As demonstrated in the preceding post, I had acquired everything that the Bee had months before they published -- and I communicated with no-one. I learned what I learned from the lawsuit which Alene Anase filed against her former employer, Alpha Omega Winery. Everything was online, for those who knew where to look. No need for clandestine meetings in a parking garage with shadowy, chain-smoking insiders.
“I am absolutely sure they don’t want this to get to discovery so we find out who their sources are," Nunes said.
Why is Nunes playing this silly game?
"Somebody gave them the phony information that the National Rifle Association was involved with Russian national collusion, somebody gave the phony info on Cohen, somebody gave them on me, that they ran across all their platforms and digitally, that’s not OK. They can talk all they want, but we’ll see them in court.”The NRA accusation was quite justified, despite the shady right-wing efforts to change the record. The "phony info on Cohen" claim probably refers to the Steele dossier. In that case, "the media" did not meet with any sources. Steele's employees did that -- and it appears that at least one of those sources was a Russian national working for the Trump campaign. The current thinking is that the Russians got wind of what Orbis (Steele's company) was up to and decided to toss disinformation into the mix -- standard procedure in Spookworld. I fail to see how "the media" was at fault.
The Enquirer is for sale. The Bezos scandal is picking up, and the agreement between David Pecker and the SDNY seems quite shaky, to put it mildly. So it comes us no surprise that Pecker is selling the Enquirer.
American Media CEO David Pecker confirmed the plan on Wednesday after the Washington Post reported that the company has come under "intense pressure" to part ways with the Enquirer.This is hilarious. To save face, everyone is pretending that the Enquirer is an independent entity -- a conscious being with agency and the ability to make decisions. Those decisions were almost certainly made by Pecker himself. At the very least, he bears responsibility for the actions of his employees.
The pressure has come from the company's board of directors and from its controlling shareholder Chatham Asset Management, The Post reported. According to the newspaper, Chatham's managing partner Anthony Melchiorre was concerned about both "the financial difficulties of the tabloid business" and "the Enquirer's tactics."
Before this brouhaha, I was never a big Bezos fan. But right now, I hope he eats Pecker for breakfast.
Perhaps I should rephrase that.
