"Are Michael Wolff's Troubling Revelations About Fox News and the RNC True?"

PJ media reported:

I am not alone among conservatives when I admit that I am no fan of author Michael Wolff. I loathed him and wrote a hit piece when he disparaged President Trump in his last book, Fire and Fury. But Wolff brings to light two purported revelations about the 2020 election in his new book that, to the extent that they are true, bode ill for conservative media’s flagship network and establishment Republicanism.

The first assertion in just-released Landslide is that Fox News, spearheaded by the vitriol of Rupert Murdoch, threw Trump under the electoral bus at the eleventh hour as votes in Arizona were being counted.

Fox News has vehemently denied this.

The second troubling truth is that in an internal Republican National Committee email, RNC chief counsel Justin Riemer pointedly questioned Trump’s concerns about election integrity, in effect calling out any Republican who shared those concerns. The overarching inference of the communique is that high-echelon members of the RNC showed their true colors as operatives interested more in out-of-power fundraising than in keeping our best president since Reagan in power.

Surprisingly, in the face of the undeniable existence of the email, the RNC has vehemently denied this. But in an on-air segment, after seeing the email, Newsmax TV host Grant Stinchfield said, to paraphrase, that despite his reservations about Wolff’s reportorial ethics, it “seems to be true.” Trump campaign lead counsel Jenna Ellis, who received the email while at dinner with several RNC staffers, has left the Republican Party as a result.

There’s a sense of a troubling entrenchment on the right suggesting that former conservative behemoth FNC and the braintrust of the GOP no longer consider the best interests and choices of the American people a top priority. For close watchers of the political scene, the potential revelations here may seem like the observations of Captain Obvious. But if it is true that both Fox News and the RNC heatedly or cynically abandoned Mr. Trump when he needed them most, the truth of these abandonments must be communicated writ large to millions of voters who are still wondering, in the wake of 2020, what the hell happened.

Might Biden be a Liar & Predator like McCarrick?

September 15, 2020   Everyone knows that sexual predator ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick is a liar. His whole life was a lie of betrayal of the most sacred vows he took and the violation of the moral tenets of the Catholic faith which he desecrated. Most people don't realize that part of this desecration of lies included lying for "gravely sinful" Democrats like Joe Biden. McCarrick protected Biden when then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later to be Pope Benedict XVI) wrote that bishops were not to admit to Communion politicians like "gravely sinful" Biden who supports the killing of unborn babies. McCarrick lied for politicians like Biden by ignoring the important parts of the Ratzinger letter and told bishops not to ignore the Catholic Church law.  Last year, Fr. Robert Morey denied Holy Communion to the “gravely sinful” Biden following a "2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of ...

The Biben Lying Machine: "Joe , do you know what else is a Sin besides Killing Babies? Lying... "

October 09, 2020   It appears that Joe Biden was even a lying machine in 2008 according to the post " Media Ignores Biden Repeatedly Lies During 'Meet the Press' Interview" on the Weasel Zippers website: Joe Biden Repeatedly Lies During "Meet the Press" Interview, Claims he Doesn't Support Taxpayer Funded Abortions.....   Joe, do you know what else is a sin besides killing babies? Lying... ... Joe Biden repeatedly made the claim in a Sunday interview on the NBC political show "Meet the Press" that he opposes taxpayer funding of abortions. However, a look at his voting record over the years reveals numerous instances where Barack Obama's pro-abortion running mate did exactly that. "I don't support public, public funding. I don't, because that flips the burden. That's then telling me I have to accept a different view," he said on the program. As recently as February, Biden voted against an amendmen...

Vox Cantoris vs. Aqua

The Catholic Monitor commenter Aqua had this to say to the Vox Cantoris website: Aqua said… Fred, your topic here reminds me of a dust-up, a few days ago, on Vox Cantoris. He asserted that it is our duty as Christians to wear masks to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass if the government tells us we must, or they will close our Churches. My response to him was that I find it inconceivable that an orthodox Catholic, such as himself, would ever submit to unjust dictates from secular government over how we approach Our Lord in Holy Mass. My response to him was that the Mass belongs to Catholics and we decide, within the bounds of Tradition, and in accord with the Word of Jesus, how we conduct ourselves in Holy Mass. Only one authority prevails over Mass and that is our God and the Sacred Tradition given by Him to guide us in all times and places. Understand, there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask to Mass. But there is EVERYTHING wrong with wearing a symbol...
