Keurig CEO isn't happy with his trigger-happy social media department. He's not apologising for the decision they made, just the fact that they publicly declared it. Why not just own up to your decision and accept the PR, good, bad or indifferent?

I think he explains his position pretty well: 'Protection of the brand' is our watchword and 'Avoid unnecessary risk' our operating principle.
 
11 advertisers have dropped out now. Still a long way to go, but it's a start.

It's exponential. I can't see many advertisers wanting to be on the list of advertisers who stuck by him up until the point he was sacked.

‘HE HAS TO GO!!!’ Fox fans furious after Shep Smith blows up right-wing conspiracy about Uranium One

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith was blasted by some of his network’s loudest viewers for fact-checking Republican talking points about Uranium One, which defenders of President Donald Trump have used to allege that it was actually Hillary Clinton who colluded with Russia.

“What are the facts? What is Uranium One?” Smith questioned.

Smith explained that Trump’s campaign line on Uranium One is “inaccurate in a number of ways.”

“First, the Clinton State Department had no power to veto or approve that transaction. It could do neither,” Smith noted.

“The accusation is predicated on the charge that Secretary Clinton approved the sale. She did not,” Smith concluded.


Explaining the facts was seen as a betrayal by Fox News viewers, who seemed to prefer the network parrot White House talking points absent journalistic examination.

Here is a sampling of some Fox News viewers’ reaction to Shepard Smith’s reporting.

(lots of tweets posted thereafter - my fav below)

@langster’s mancrus just grew a little stronger.
 
Fox News is spending today talking about moon landing conspiracies. I did see a comment that a few other news orgs have discussed this photo as a well.

He added that it appears to be "a figure of a human not wearing a spacesuit, circa early 70s... Apollo 17 photograph."

Streetcap1 goes on to say that he believes the object in the astronaut's helmet looks like a man with long hair.

"You can see some sort of, it looks like a man, back in the early 70s, long hair, wearing some sort of waistcoat-type thing... and a shadow of that figure presumably."

Looks like the man in the reflection is in a spacesuit from my view.
 
Looks like a milkman in a shell suit.
 
I usually believe any old crap but there's nothing wrong with that photo, IMO.

Looks like Lingard wearing a hoodie.

Why do you say that, Steve? The spacesuits at the time were bulky and the figure in the photo doesn't seem to be wearing one. (Not that I believe a word of it, let me hasten to add)

What's the provenance of this anyway? Is there a guaranteed authentic version of this photo in the public record somewhere?
 
To me, it just looks like distortion/blurring of the photo rather than being a genuinely out-of-place outfit, chief.
 
It's either obviously just shadow on a spacesuit reflected in the screen of the suit or it's a builder from Essex.
 
It's obviously a spacesuit? Unless it's a fecking beekeeper who accidentally wandered on set and the machiavallian geniuses behind the elaborate scam didn't notice.
 
I love how fox news hosts are just chilling on the couch and talking about random shit. Completely ignoring the breaking news. Kinda amazing if you think about it. This is what these guys get paid to do under the guise of journalism :lol:
 
Meanwhile in an alternate universse.....far.....far.....away......




Its pretty obvious that they have a stack of articles on ice for moments like this.
 
TYT aren't necessarily the best source but found this segment funny and atypical of Fox News and it's faux statements. The reason for not running the ad is supposedly because Fox News has a policy against airing presidential actors/imposters (yet did at least once with Pres Obama actor).

 


One week? Given that exclusivness is the most important thing at play here how can he be confident that the story hasn't been broken until then? He surely must be, otherwise there is no reason to wait.
