Shameless Nicolle Wallace Blacks Out Coverage of Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt

Nicolle Wallace has been referred to as a scandal.

Multiple times, I read through yesterday’s transcript from her MSNBC program. Surely, there must be something there! The idea that a television show that covers political news would fail to report on a story about an earlier breaking story, the arrest of an armed suspect outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house and his plans to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh is beyond belief.

Even though it may seem unbelievable, Nicolle Wallace did not devote time to this story yesterday during MSNBC’s two-hour-long airtime. Deadline: White House

Wallace is not only lacking in journalistic integrity but also appears to lack a sense for irony. While burying the attempted Kavanaugh assassination, Wallace aired two different people expressing Wallace expressed outrage that Fox News wouldn’t provide live, wall-to–wall coverage at the Pelosi-panel hearings.Today (though Fox Business will live it).

Wallace’s first criticism of Fox News came from an earlier interview in which Michael Fanone (a Metropolitan Police officer) expressed outrage that some networks weren’t covering the hearings live. Cornell Belcher of MSNBC made this clear later: “Let’s call it –I mean, it’s Fox.” Wallace agreed: “right.”

Belcher described Fox News’s decision to not provide live coverage for the J6 hearings as “mind-boggling.” What would he call Wallace’s decision—on the very show in which he participated—to black out coverage of the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh?

What if Wallace had to have talked about a case where he was arrested in similar circumstances outside of the residence of a liberal Justice? Rhetorical question. It is also worth mentioning if Ruth Bader Ginsburg had experienced something similar. Wallace would have provided a Special Report that was four hours long, filled with sirens.

The incident was briefly covered by Stephanie Ruhle, Joy Reid, Ari Melber and Joy Reid who were MSNBC’s other hosts. A special 2-hour episode All in, Claire McCaskill only mentioned Kavanaugh but did not mention refusing to vote.. Good Morning, Joe It was reported this morning. 

Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC host, erased the story of an armed man arrested to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This was in part sponsored by Safelite and Panera as well as T-Mobile, Intel. Dell. Amazon.

MICHAEL FANO: Well, it’s good to know that there are public hearings. But, for me, the disappointment is really quite deep., I’m outraged, to hear that some networks are declining to air the hearingsThey did so last year, as I was able to testify. This is an opportunity for Americans, not only to hear the findings of the committee, but also to learn from the witnesses. Although I do not want to deny that I believe there is hope, I feel that those who need to face the realities of the day will not be allowed to.

NICOLLE WALLACE : Michael Fanone, an ex-officer of the D.C. Metropolitan Police, spoke earlier today to express some concerns. outrage There is the possibility that all network broadcasts will not carry the hearings of the select committee on January 6, which begin tomorrow night. They are worried about the possibility of not being able to move the needle in the country in terms of understanding the causes behind the rebellion.

CORNELL BELCHER – I have to return to the original point. The people who need this information most are they. Let’s just call it Fox. —

WALLACE: — Right.

BELCHER: —That’s what we are referring to, since Fox is refusing to cover the story.And Nicolle.The thought of it is mind-bogglingFox covered all angles and stories related to Benghazi. Although they covered Benghazi almost like it was the Super Bowl, that doesn’t mean they will cover.They won’t cover our attempt to overthrow the government. You’re right. If you take a look at Fox’s audience you will see the message is clear: the people who truly need the information the most are not the ones who have the best chance of getting it.
