Ingraham: Why is Michael Cohen talking 'to media outlets that are fairly hostile' to Trump?

Laura really does have a petty mind!



Ingraham: Why is Michael Cohen talking 'to media outlets that are fairly hostile' to Trump?

Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Tuesday why President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen is "going on media outlets that are fairly hostile to the president" after an FBI raid on his office.
...........................................

"[It's] very interesting that Michael [Cohen], who was kind of chased down the street today with that puffy down jacket of his, running through the street. I don’t know. Men in puffy jackets. We women don’t like it ... Don’t wear a puffy jacket. We don't like those." Ingraham said to the Washington Examiner's Byron York.

"They catch up with him eventually but it’s [while he's] on the phone with [CNN anchor] Don Lemon and then a reporter from ABC [Kyra Phillips]. Why is he going to media outlets that are fairly hostile to the president at this point? What do you think?" she asked.

"It’s a good question. To some degree, there are a lot of people in the White House who communicate with the president through the media," York said. "They are trying to send him a message to the media, through the media.

"One of the things about Cohen, if he talks about the hardship this has been on him and his family, come obviously one of the issues here is if he were charged with a crime, would he cooperate and would he be a bigger part of the Mueller investigation?" he asked. "These are all messages that are flying around as he talks tonight." ...................................................

Why is that? Maybe because Cheeto is dropping him like a hot potato. Or maybe there's a nother reason?

Cohen is taking voice lessons. He's getting ready to take to the stage and... SING.

Time to paint Cohen as some puffy-jacket-wearing loser with a fickle sense of allegiance. You go get em, Laura! Gotta win back those sponsors!

I don't think even Cohen signed up for this. He's covering his own ass, and Fox knows it.

The whole conservative movement has been living in an echo chamber for years upon years.

Seems weird but if he's sweating it out, it makes sense to cater to non-trump outlets.

Her job in the media, she seems to think, is to protect and promote "her" side over the "other" side. It has nothing to do with free speech, First Amendment, or the survival of our democracy. Too dumb to try and explain.

Because the network you work for is ignoring the whole issue except when they yell "no collusion" or "fake news".

So, there's nobody at your fake network asking him questions about this.

Dummy!
