    No, no, no,” [Avenatti] said. “Mr. Trump, the Trump organization and Sean Hannity. Mr. Broidy was not disclosed in open court as one of Michael Cohen’s clients...I think at some point we are going to find out, if in fact, the client in connection with the ($1.6 million) settlement was, in fact, Mr. Broidy. I’m going to leave it at that.”

    Over what time period were the payments made and any idea on who the model is?

    I had forgotten about this Broidy guy.

    the first payment was due last December, the deal was negotiated shortly beforehand. no idea who the model is.

    Broidy is connected to a cooperating witness in the Mueller probe, George Nader:

    Such venom and vitriol
    Not sure what the reaction should be to someone being disingenuous on a regular basis.

    You are a dip when it comes to politics. Not sure whatever other competencies you have in life, but to consistently fail to apply any sort of reason or fairness to your political beliefs is kinda sad to watch.

    There may be outlets like OccupyDemocrats and others who use similar methods as Fox News/Breitbart. The scope of the platforms is the substantive difference.

    Darrin is the special piece of that knows what he is saying is false but goes with it anyway because of the magic (R). He is SpursTalk as Huckabee-Sanders is to the WH.

    Ok then, give a scroll through AM radio sometime, or talk radio. Tell me there are an equal amount of left/right wing voices there.

    False dichotomy if you want to claim that they are equivalent in reach/scope. Your claim, your burden of proof. I just don't see it.

    You're not aware of how you're perceived here even in the slightest, huh? Clue: If not for CosmoFred or Avante, you'd be the absolute bottom rung.

    Not really a fair argument to isolate broadcast radio as the sample for bias in all media. AM Radio skews heavily conservative, yes, but so do AM Radio listeners. Media has diversified to the point that people can seek and find whatever they want to listen to. Nobody accidentally becomes a Rush Limbaugh listener anymore. Everything is there to meet the demand of the audience.

    Other than the nightly local and national news, which are still traditional/habitual viewing appointments for many Americans, there's really not much news out there that isn't specifically sought out by an audience that already shares the political skew of that news outlet. imo

    Agreed. Confirmation bias exists on both sides.

    I just don't see the same scope and scale of echo chamber on the left as the right. For all the PC bull the left pulls, there is still some value placed on education, the truth, and facts.

    The right in this country is far more adept at filtering out any kind of non-majority view, both in media and political candidates. The anti-intellectual streak manifests itself in all manner of magical thinking. The right pulls PC vastly more, for all its complaining about what the left does on college campuses.

    One A Day: CNN Hosts Porn Star's Lawyer Michael Avenatti 59 Times in Less Than Two Months





    CNN has exhibited a fetish for the Stormy Daniels story, particularly for her Trump-smacking lawyer, Michael Avenatti. In less than two months (from March 7 to April 30), Avenatti has been a guest on CNN a total of 59 times – an average of more than once per day.

    MRC analysts combed through transcripts of all of CNN’s 2018 coverage looking for references to interviews with Avenatti, and then double-checked using our video archive. Since Avenatti’s first appearance on March 7, he has been interviewed on CNN a whopping 59 times, more than one-third of which (19) were with Anderson Cooper — who, of course, interviewed Stormy Daniels on CBS’s 60 Minutes back in March.

    By comparison, CNN hosted House Democrat Adam Schiff (CA) – who had been a favorite of the network – ten times during the months of March and April. That would be a generous portion of airtime for any politician, but it was barely one-sixth the exposure granted to a lawyer overwhelmingly known for representing a porn star.

    Unfortunately for the Congressman, CNN’s interest in Schiff was noticeably higher before Avenatti showed up. In January and February, the Trump-bashing Democrat was interviewed a total of 17 times; in March and April, that fell to just ten times, a decline of roughly 40%.





    Here’s another statistic that should put CNN’s interest in Avenatti into perspective: From March 7 to April 30, all 51 Republican Senators combined received just 34 interviews on the cable network.

    Though CNN has eagerly hosted Avenatti at seemingly every opportunity, some at the network have commented on his inordinate on-air presence. On April 6, New Day stand-in host David Gregory elicited a laugh from his fellow panelists when he sarcastically referred to “rare public comments from Michael Avenatti.” And on April 30, CNN legal analyst Paul Callan characterized the lawyer’s most recent lawsuit against the President as “a publicity stunt” during yet another appearance by Avenatti on Cooper’s show.

    Despite these remarks by Gregory and Callan, it remains to be seen whether CNN will ratchet back the absurd amount of coverage they have given Avenatti. But if their current pace of 1.09 interviews per day (including weekends) continues for the rest of the year, the network will have bombarded viewers with a total of 327 Avenatti appearances for all of 2018.

    Stay tuned.

    It's almost as if Trumps moronic public utterances about the case caused it to be more newsworthy...

    Public utterances won him the election. I know you shy away from defending yourself like a coward, but Trump is a real man.

    Yeah, he is. His wife publicly slaps his hand away. The candy store is closed.

    Who else are you saying Trump is having sex with, Chris?

    I don't think about things like that Pavlov. That's for you and your ilk.
