I have always felt that it was just a matter of time before poor Maria stepped in it. I remember her interviewing Anthony Wiener (before we found out about him). They were having a back and forth about Medicare. Wiener was defending Medicare when Maria asked, “If Medicare is so good why aren’t you using it?” Wiener (who was then in his early 40’s) said, “Maria, you’re not eligible for Medicare until you’re 65.”
Maria (like her hero Trump) is incapable of being embarrassed.
I laughed aloud when I read this but if people didn't get the reference the "Stormer' was a notorious Nazi rag in Germany from 1923 to the end of World War 2. It was founded and run by Juliius Streicher who was so anti-Semitic (and worse) that he was tried and hanged with all of the top Nazi war criminals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_St%C3%BCrmer
You know, I’d like to see a requirement that people in government and the media have to list the name of their college on screen when being interviewed. This could look like how sports often do with professional athletes. Such as: “Donald Trump, University of Pennsylvania.” Everyone at fox propaganda and in the fascist regime would be an embarrassment to their colleges. Maybe, just maybe, that would shame these universities into not being diploma mills to the rich and stupid. One can dream. {sigh}
This always happens in late stage cults. The enemies are now inside the group! You see all the mudslinging between Fox / Bartiromo / Carlson / Kelly / Owens, etc.
This was always inevitable and it's fun to see their soulless ghouls focusing their evil lies on each other.
Rep. Omar is antithetical to the US Constitution? What a laugh! This entire fascist regime is antithetical to the US Constitution. You don’t hear them complaining about that.
Maria Badaroma is finding out that --unlike average people-- those in the news media have a responsibility to be truthful. The First Amendment isn't there to protect their lies: it's there to ensure that they CAN tell the truth without the Emperor or his minions doing to them what Saudi prince MBS did to Jamal Kashoggi (important to remember this close to 9/11).
The fact that FoxProp was unwilling to further push her lies does at least show that they learned from the 787,000,000 reasons why they shouldn't lie to the American people any longer: they will still lie --A LOT-- but they won't say anything so declarative and definitive that they can get sued for it.
If we all survive, I imagine that some day this will make for riveting viewing as a thinly-veiled fictional drama a la *Succession*.
Is anyone covering the economics of Newsmax and OANN? Along with Rumble and Truth Social (ticker symbol DJT), and even X, my understanding is that these disinformation platforms have been bleeding money with virtually no prospects of sustainable revenues. Musk managed to sneak X (and its $12B in debt) into the SpaceX IPO as an AI company in a remarkable feat of financial engineering. Trump Media has a pile of cash from a SPAC that its been steadily burning through and is now acquiring a **fusion company**?! What about OANN and Newsmax?

FAFO
Always room for another “reporter” at the Daily Stormer!

I guess she also discovered that Peter Navarro is a piece of 💩 and not to be trusted with documentation for her having to cancel on him.
Trump isn't her boss - yet. But give it time. She'll be at the Press Secretary's podium soon.
