During today’s Morning Joe discussion of the ouster of Bill O’Reilly >> at Fox News, Joe Scarborough asked, “Do they remake over the entire

Replied New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters: “I think you have to
look at somebody like Sean Hannity, and question whether or not his
almost propaganda-like attitude and programming every night is going
to be acceptable in the minds of the family, which is clearly trying
to shift the network in a different direction.”
Quipped Scarborough: “it’s also very confusing because he does it in >> Russian.” Note: that’s a variation on a line from years ago about
Pat Buchanan delivering his remarks in German.

So Hannity could be on the hot seat because of his “propaganda-like
attitude and programming every night.” Hannity might be a reliable
voice of the Republican/Trump line. But are the primetime MSNBC
anchors any less devoted to pushing the Dem/liberal talking points
of the day? Should they be in their network’s “crosshairs?”
Note: later in the show, Mike Barnicle claimed that many women at
Fox were “basically confronted with like a Bill Cosby on cable.”
As per this Washington Post article, “about two-thirds of the
allegations [against Cosby] involve drugging and follow a similar
pattern, with Cosby allegedly offering the women pills or drinks and
the women saying they wake up naked in bed with Cosby after blacking
out.”
Contrary to Barnicle’s statement, there have not been such
allegations of criminal conduct made against O’Reilly.
Wrong. Maxine Waters, congresswoman from South Central Los Angeles >recently said that Fox News is a "sexual harassment enterprise” and that "Bill O'Reilly Needs To Go To Jail".
Boy did you pick a terrible example. Waters is a woman who denied
saying something while the tape of her saying it was being played.
