How do you go from a reporter not knowing where Ukraine is to calling Trump supporters ignorant rednecks who don't know where Ukraine is?

There's no way to really know what happened. She claims she "pointed to Ukraine," but if she pointed to the wrong place on the map, then she obviously wouldn't have known it.

So, to think she couldn't find Ukraine on a map is hard to believe. Also, consider how petty and unprofessional Pompeo's letter was in its wording and the fact that NPR provided evidence that Kelly brought up asking about Ukraine before the interview (showing that Pompeo was incorrect/lying when he said she didn't).

I mean, if somebody calls another person an elitist liberal because they can identify a country on a map, they kinda earned what's coming to them. I guess you could find a reason to be "offended" about the poor southern accent impression, but you'd have to try pretty hard. Obama and Trump both had/have blocs of voters that their intelligent, educated supporters would consider somewhat embarrassing, but that they feel some sort of obligation to defend.

Jan 28, 2020, 5:55 PM

And there was no discussion of someone calling someone elitist because they could identify a country.

They were talking about Pompeo which immediately morphed to Trump slams, which (unprompted) moved right into mocking his supporters. "Credulous boomer rubes"....bad redneck accents....acting like Trump supporters mocking education. They just confirmed what's pretty apparent; A large portion of proud card-carrying Democrats are fueled by delusions of grandeur and elitism.

a large portion isn't really generalizing. It could be 5%,


Jan 28, 2020, 6:14 PM

it could be 50%....who knows and I certainly didn't say, unlike the anchors who characterized all (not some, not a portion, not a percentage---all) Trump supporters as they did.

I know who Rick Wilson is, and I was primarily referring to Lemon who was snickering like a schoolboy the entire time.

I learned a long time ago that you don't judge any population by their worst 5%...someone should share that with those three guys.

Would most say three guys represents "a large portion"?


Jan 28, 2020, 6:23 PM

especially when at least one of them isn't part of the group you say they are representing?

Lemon seems to be laughing (or starts laughing) at the joke Wilson makes at Trump's expense of not being able to identify Ukraine if it had a picture of a crane and the letter "U" on it. And he looks like he isn't even listening to the rest of what's said, but maybe he is.

Are you saying that Trump has enough black supporters in the south to warrant such a hasty generalized caricature of his supporters?

And if he does, isn't Rick Wilson demeaning their intelligence by mocking them offensive to you?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

CT88 says Trump has 30% of the black vote


Jan 28, 2020, 6:53 PM

no, I'm saying I think rick (specifically because of the accent) is connecting southern/dumb/old with trump supporters who cry foul at "elitist" liberals/democrats for being "smart" or "knowing things." The other guy joins in but never uses a southern accent (at least that I could tell). You can be offended by this characterization and that's fine. I've lived my whole life in the south and fully am aware of the stereotypes we carry. Rick is from the South (not sure if he spent his entire life here) so he might just be mocking the trump supporters he encounters, but it is probably likely he thinks most trump supporters believe similar things and it's fine to be upset at the characterization he is showing.

She knew where it was without question. She had probably been there. She is a veteran foreign reporter who is very respected.

Sorry Cam, but that is nonsense. Mary Louis Kelly has a Masters Degree from Cambridge University in European Studies. That and Bangladesh borders Thailand, 3700 miles from Ukraine. So no, it's not possible that she pointed to Bangladesh. Pompeo is being a petty

Another interesting question is why does Pompeo have a blank map of the world? Is it his go to 'gotcha' for people that disagree with him? Also, I find it telling that he kicked another journalist from NPR out of the press pool for his upcoming trip. Pompeo is falling apart I think.

So he wants Fox to be a biased network, but then claims others like CNN are #fakenews? I mean we knew he’s a moron, but he keeps reinforcing that point .

Unlike MSNBC, CNN, ABC and CBS who compete for the same viewers none of them compete with Fox. Fox never insults the integrity or intelligence of the viewer.




Right. Only conservatives can stand Fox after 6pm. They insult the intelligence of every non-conservative who might be watching after that. No one is as over the top, and propagandist as Hannity. For a year he tried to convince his viewers that Seth Rich, who was robbed and murdered on the street, was killed by the DNC for leaking emails. It was all a lie, he doesn't get a Mulligan for that. Rich's parents finally sued Fox and the 2 Murdoch sons told Hannity to shut his stupid mouth.

Actually, at 6 Baier newcast begins.


Jan 28, 2020, 7:18 PM

Bret is fair as rain. After his show Mccallum's news program airs and it's a bit more conservative than Baier but not enough to taint news. Both have panels of guest who discuss current events in a fair and balanced way.

After that comes the crazies, Carlson and Hannity. Much of what they say is true and Carlson constantly disagrees with Trump on certain subjects. Hannity has John Solomon on regularly and JS broke the FISA abuse story on Hannity's show. There's plenty of accurate negative things to say about Hannity but he was correct in standing firm on the Russian collusion hoax.

Both, Carlson and Hannity are entertainment and not intended to be news though both have interesting guest like Dershowitz and professionals in a variety of science fields. I only watch either when their guest are covering topics I am interested in.

You should try Bret Baier's show at 6PM. It's as close to unbiased news as you'll find anywhere.

Not that I know of, but it goes pretty deep as far the nutty things that are said on Fox about liberals. There is a lot of more overt hate going on over there. The liberals usually take a more a smug approach.

Imagine if 3 white Fox reporters were mimicking Ebonics and a middle eastern accent, talking about how stupid the people they were mocking were?

There would be boycotts and demands for them all to be fired--yesterday, and then be 'cancelled'.

It starts to go off the rails however when deweather illogically argues that Rick Wilson didn't specifically mean white people, and later, that Rick has two distinct accents he uses for "dumb" people and "southerners".

I think Rick is certainly talking about dumb southerners


Jan 29, 2020, 3:09 PM

I don't hear the southern accent on the other guy's attempt as, to me, he's emulating "dumb person" speech. The only push back I've given is that at no point do they say anything about "whites" and so you're just assuming that part of their critique.

As for your second question, I don't think that video clip matters in the larger political game being played. But, maybe I'll be proven wrong...

Jan 29, 2020, 10:45 AM

attempts at defending this. It ranges from "I don't think the other guy was using an accent" to "Rick has two accents he uses..one is the "dumb guy" accent, and the other is a "southerner" acccent".

My favorite justification by far is that "How do you know Rick was talking about White Trump supporters?" Because you know...there are so many southern, black Trump supporters.

Catahoula's is pretty good too though I guess. "Just get a thicker skin" that two guys on an international new program are making fun of an entire region, and race. Nice.

Can you imagine using any of those reasons if the reporters had been Fox news reporters?

You are correct that there is a difference between Fox News and opinion. But they sprinkle in some of the opinion people in over the course of a day. Greg Gutfield, Harris Falkner...not straight news.

2. Rick Wilson is an actual Republican conservative.
3. He's dead-on making fun of Trumpies who think they're smart while somehow laughing at "liberal elitism". Which is just their code words for someone who is smarter than them.
