Apparently he was, and he was attempting to squash the story. He hit it and had to quit it - but we already knew the press was in bed with left.
No need to circle back on this one.

The initial punishment was a one week suspension: https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2021/02 ... ed-n326718MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 7:34 amOf course, if this person were under Trump's employ and were loyal to the President and his policies, Trump would say "he was treated very unfairly."
Ducklo resigned because he was about to be fired. The Biden Administration made the right call here.
During the off-the-record call, Ducklo made derogatory and misogynistic comments, accusing Palmeri of only reporting on his relationship—which, due to the ethics questions that factor into the relationship between a journalist and White House official, falls under the purview of her reporting beat—because she was “jealous” that an unidentified man in the past had “wanted to f**k” McCammond “and not you.”
Seems like a weak statement after the fact. If he realized his anger got the best of him, and apologized quickly after the incident, she may have dropped it.In it he is adamant that “This incident is not representative of who I am as a person, and I will be determined to earn back the trust of everyone I have let down because of my intolerable actions.”
I doubt it. She was pumping him for information.One wonders if his new girlfriend will still stay with him?
I thought you said politics were a waste of time and yet you are still here. The media is typically the enemy of the people - the objective of the corporate media is to make money, not to inform the masses. If you can't differentiate between the previous administration pushing back against a hostile media and the current administration employing a Neanderthal that says "don't report on my relationship, if you do, you're just jealous because I'm not fucking you," then I don't know if I can help you.Mark Elliott wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:05 pmTrump and associates daily threatened reporters of all types with no recrimination, including calling many media members "enemies of the people".
The Biden staffer was found out and out the door within a few days.
ALSO, both the WH staffer and the Politico reporter informed their respective employers of their relationship. Politico immediately pulled her off the WH beat.
Trump press staffers wandered in and out of Fox News like it was a subsidiary of the White House. Y'all need to get over yourselves.
Sure I can tell the difference. One group is using propaganda tactics to lessen the public’s view of the media and the other guy is just being a dick.Matt wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:55 pmI thought you said politics were a waste of time and yet you are still here.

The media is shit. The view of it should be so low that it doesn't register.Rate This wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 1:00 pmSure I can tell the difference.
