FOX's Liz Trotta, who joked about killing Obama, attacks NBC's coverage. Calls it "pet poodle in the Obama media kennel"
By John Amato Sunday Jun 07, 2009 11:00am
Remember Liz Trotta on FOX last year when she joked that we should kill Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama?
Trotta: ...and now we have what some are reading---as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, umm, ah... Obama, well both, if we could...haha...
She was forced to apologize on the air by the liberal blogosphere shortly after. In March, she maintained another lie:
Fox analysts: Obama is manipulating the librul press in a 'historic' way?
Greg Mitchell tweeted this and we grabbed it.
Liz Trotta on Fox just now bashing NBC coverage of Obama -- one year after she seemingly endorsed killing him "if we could."
I guess working for the Washington Times as she did in the past sure does seem to cause a severe "pundit insanity" syndrome. In this segment, she is furious with the media's coverage of President Obama's Middle East trip.
Trotta: It's the Obama glut and if you add that, another couple of hours of Brian Williams on NBC doing inside the Obama White House. I mean he's now up for the prize for Pet poodle in the Obama media kennel. Just unbelievable sycophancy.
Who, Brian Williams?
Oh, my goodness. The softball questions and the running up and down the hallways. Somebody compared the scenes of running up and down the hallways it to a scene from Goodfellows where one of the gangsters takes his girlfriend back through the kitchen in order to get to the secret night club.
Brian Williams, I've known him for 15 years. He's a decent, I think objective professional.
You're wrong, you're wrong. This is a network that has totally cast it's lot with the Obama White House.
We've heard that.
Trotta: They're of course the ugly rumors and reports about how Jeffrey Immelt, the chairman and CEO of G.E., the parent company, has sent the word down that we're going to be nice to Obama, because we want some of the government contracts.
Eric: do you really believe that? do you really believe that?
Trotta: I believe it's perfectly possible. I'm not saying it's so, but this is widely reported on the Internet. And then we have the stockholders meetings in which, where the questions were -- where people tried to ask can these questions and, of course, everybody's mic was cut. That aside, no, there wasn't even coverage of Obama. Again, he commanded the airwaves all week. And again, the press, which is his personal, you know, fan book, just play ball.
I always find it silly when FOX News people complain about other networks being propagandists when that's been their entire role for the GOP since its inception. I assume they know the FOX audience will bite, but it's still strange to see FOX complain about another network about this subject matter. And then they wrapped up the segment by attacking Williams because he gave a little bow to the president as he left him.
There it is. I mean it's just a little head nod.
Grovel, grovel, grovel.
No, it's a little thank you. It's a sign of respect. Thank you, Mr. President.
Did you see the entire thing? It was a grovel.
Listen, I'm no fan of Williams overall, but this is just creepy coverage of NBC and Obama by Trotta. I'm sure she's trying to get booked on Bill O'Reilly's show this week with this performance.

Would make Mrs Trotta the item left in the grass by the poodle.
republicanism is a mental illness!
What an incredibly bitter old woman.
This Liz person should hook up with Dickey Cheney, and together they would have a complete smile.
Heda Hopper was still alive?
And this gossip coming from the fairly unbalanced network .
This woman is a hater. That much is obvious.
how about Tony snow And his SNOW JOB FOR G W BUSH Mmmmmmmm
-and I'm not even talking about Jeff Gannon.
A few years ago the O'Reilly series of interviews with GWB. Talk about suck and swallow.
this woman's backside? What'll they say when she tries to make good her threats against the president? Will they have an 'investigation?'
ew.
From us talking about FOX when they interviewed anyone from the Bush administration. Only difference, FOX did have orders to be easy on them.
who watch this offal on the air. The only way non-21percenters are going to see this is through links like this one.
I say let these weasels blather on and on. To any reasonable thinking person, it only makes them look dumber....
I loved the way she castigated NBC as a PR wing of the WH. She obviously didn't watch her own network during the reign of Dick and Dubya...
then they should expect a thorough beating for letting Liz Cheney in to urinate all over the yard last week, unchallenged.
Whatever shred of journalistic integrity she may once have had is gone. She's sold her soul. Rumors on the internet? That's reporting? Spare me.

What a fine tune for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks, mudshark!
oozing out, from your tee vee set!...
"Trotta: I believe it's perfectly possible. I'm not saying it's so, but this is widely reported on the Internet."
wha? what an incredibly mush mouthed way for someone to avoid responsibility for smearing.
2 dollar an hour whore. I believe it's perfectly possible. I'm not saying it's so, but this is widely reported on the Internet.
thank you, miss_kitteh!
I just love it when you display your razor-sharp claws! ROWWRR!
too much.
little green football rumors are solid fact for Trotta when there's a negro in the White House to excitedly disparage.
Extra points for the annoying whinge.
angry and ugly just crowned Liz Trotta queen bitch. and Focks Nooz is/was what 4 GWB and Cheney...they lick and fetch like crazy.
Liz better ease up with the dog metaphors...just sayin'.
Ugly jealous bitch is out this week, I thought you wrote that column! She reminds me of why I don't visit family back East very often. If there's not something to get all seething about why, manufacture something! Pathetic..
It's well documented that these hate-filled, uneducated, murder loving, Resluts were abused as children and taught to be bigots and America hating.
and they loved the abuse.
Proving once and for all that irony detectors do not come as a part of the "Welcome to the Republican Party" gift bag.
On the upside, someone on the internet was saying that Liz Trotta is a $2 per hour whore. I got about $1 in change in my car ash tray, think I might get me some of that...
It's the amount of alcohol I'd have to consume first that would make the whole thing cost prohibitive.
"Roeder told the AP he know of “similar events planned around the country” as long as abortion is legal.
He would not elaborate."
So, the ksm of the American taliban knows of more attacks.
Should we torture him?
Who would hire a person who would make a claim like this and then use this as her rational??? This is just insane. But what should I expect? I think this whole interview should be plastered around the internet by all the people who comment on this crap. I expect Olbermann to have it on the worst person tomorrow.
I'm sure this is tied into it. FOX would have pissed down its own excited trembling leg, if it'd been offered the story. Then Obama would be their new BFF.
I think the WH should do that, just to fuck with them.
When Brian Williams was soft balling Bush so the Bush White House "would give NBC and parent company General Electric government contracts" where was Shill Trotta then? Brian Williams is the Larry King of NBC, he softs balls everybody.
Where was Trotta's outrage when Bush was buring the nation in debt and 2 failed wars and when Bush was making America a laughing stock, hated and alienated? Trotta hates that we finally have a president who is loved, admired and respected at home and across the globe and who is trying to clean up Bush's mess and because that president is not a Republican. If this were Saint Ronnie Trotta would be the first one to the front of the line fawning and kissing his ass.
The wingnuts really are a petty and pathetic lot aren't they.
Oh, and enjoy your tax increase Liz. Because after all, that's the real reason you hate Obama and hopes someone assassinates the president of the United States. That's how much you love America.
This Liz character is one vicious bitch. She MUST be a friend of Liz Cheney! Sad to see what tv's talking heads discussions have come to. I suppose they put on tired, angry depraved & deprived old witches like this to stir the pot a little, to get views and ratings, but at what price? You can see the hostility and hate in her tired old face. She probably hasn't been laid in 40 years....
Preach about pagans and have an ugly old witch bitching on Fox to drive home the point subliminally. Very clever. I'll bet the mouth breathing tea bagger faction eats this right up.
Has the trotta horse and the entire reichwing decided to join hands and go nuts together?
It's interesting to get the Fox News BS here on C&L so I don't have to watch it myself. The network certainly has their true believers. But I'm sure that most people watch Fox News the same way that drivers rubber neck to view the carnage of a traffic accident.
No complaints when they tossed softballs for lipstick pig, dumbya, darth-cheney, rovie, etc.
Sick bitch. she'll only be on fox..the propaganda network of the reich wing.
Eat shit and bark at the moon, bitch!
This skanky right wing-ette isn't going to be happy for the rest of her life...so that's something to take comfort in. The "reich-wing party" is dead and drying up.
Eric: do you really believe that? do you really believe that?
Trotta: I believe it's perfectly possible.
[You weren't asked if it's "possible," you were asked if you believe it. And "possible?" It's possible for all the molecules of oxygen in a room to gather up at the ceiling, leaving those in the room to suffocate for its lack. (And yes, that is possible, just extremely unlikely.) "It's possible" is a cheap cop-out.]
I'm not saying it's so
[Then why did you bring it up?]
but this is widely reported
[Ah! It's the "some people say" gambit! The tested way of saying something while being able to deny any responsibility for it.]
on the Internet.
[The Internet? Would that be the same Internet that in a different context people like you will screech is a swill pool of unreliable rumor and innuendo?]
Forget the politics of it all for a moment. I just wonder what it must be like at the family dinner table to eat with such a sleeze.
At larger gatherings, imagine the introductions...
"I'd like to present to you my mother Liz, a media whore with no credibility or integrity whatsoever."
would do her a world of good
She certainly is losin' her mind!
this may have been pointed out already (i haven't read comments) -
williams stated that the "inside the white house" shows have been a decades long tradition...
i don't care enough to research it, but i'll take his word for it...
so I assumed you were just run in the Belmont stakes, coming in last i imagine. no seriously, can u stupid conservative pundits come up with anything more substantive to talk about that whining about one of your colleagues 'groveling' before the president. just a fact check, honey doll, but I believe Hannity did that with Bush a number of times after interviewing him. so whats the diff? there is none. oh and you're an idiot.
Copy and paste this a few times and it will be "widely reported on the internet" that Liz Twatta ('just channeling Barbara Walters here) is a shill for Kim Jong-il, and takin' pills for a thrill.
This BIMBO how never evr field a question of any signficance to the Talking Monkey bush or the Spineless Gutless American Traitor cheney has a severe wiggie because the American REAL PRESIDENT ( not a SCOTUS appontee), WOW and he can effectively COMMUNICATE what he wants, He is winning the Respect of our Allies and those we would like to have for Allies. Yeah this BIMBO has a lot to talk about no REAL credentials and a I have been told what to say and ask so original for the FOOLS on the right.
Gimme a fuckin' break! Fox had it's nose up Bush's ass for eight years and they've got the balls to complain about MSNBC and Brian Williams giving us a tour of the Obama White House. It's enough to make you weep.
Whassamatter Liz, sour grapes?
She operates a whinery.
Funny how fox forgets all the times that they, and they only, were allowed into the white house during the bush years, doing total whitewashes and sycophantic boot licking, and defending themselves for it. WTF?
Seen lots of rumors reported around the internets that the Bush admin was behind 9/11. Seems perfectly believable, surprised Fox doesn't mention it more, seems I heard something about the deathstar blowing up the enterprise, with video no less, better get on that too Fox.
I haven't watched that network lately. I didn't know they had a Fox Trotta. Care to dance?
