What did you EXPECT. Dinesh? Look at his HISTORY. Ask POTUS, Mike Lindell, The FrontLine Doctors, Chris Farrell, RUDY Giuliani (who is also BANNED, BTW), that Brietbart editor & reporter, etc. ETC. about BULLYING, and how much faux suppresses EVERY damned TRUTH.

Dinesh D’Souza:If you want to see how abusively @TuckerCarlson and his @FoxNews team deal with people, read this thread. It's an exchange between me and Tucker's executive producer @justinbwells  https://twitter.com/dineshdsouza/status/1525102708725796864?s=21&t=LwiGwieFvkC9VbrWkGajRw

 

… She was instructed not to mention "2000 Mules" even though the movie was out and the whole discussion centered around the material in the movie 

The story goes back to early February when I produced a teaser trailer for the upcoming film. Tucker invited Catherine to come on the show and she recommended they run the teaser trailer to go with her interview. Everything seemed all set until…  One of Tucker's producersa guy named Alextold me they couldn't run the 90 second trailer. They wanted to use just 45 seconds. Turned out they wanted to cut out my name, Salem Media, and any reference to the movie 

… I had earlier clarified with Alex that they should either use the full teaser trailer or not. Yet my refusal to let them go ahead provoked the following exchange 

"Dinish. Justin Wells here. VP and EP of everything in the Tucker world. I just want you to know that I/we won't forget your little stunt today. If you want to decide how much time to give content on the most watched show in America–then I suggest you produce one in the future.. 

"You f-ed over an important show and ally that was trying to do you a solid. Don't ever bother working on anything with us in the future. And never try to bully my team again. Today's move was short-sighted and dumb. Good luck with everything in the future." 

My reply: "Justin–I told Alex IN ADVANCE that we were offering the trailer as a single piece. I made it clear we did not want it cut. So there were no surprises here. No stunt. You guys want to take our content that we produce at considerable expense and effort…  "…cut out all reference to the film, and run with it as your story. That doesn't strike me as very fair or decent even if you do have "the most watched show in America." I simply told Alex we will try and place it elsewhere because our original terms were unacceptable to you" 

Justin Wells: "We booked Catherine ages ago. The segment came through her…

We would never cut out reference to the film and pass off your story as ours. Our content is far superior to yours. I'm quite confident in that. You live in a fantasy world.

 

"I don't take your tactics/stunt or a-hole move lightly. If you want a full 90 seconds for your trailer then buy an add (sic) on the show for a full 90 seconds. No more free ads for you. Thanks for trying though."  But all faux does is hawk BOOKS

 

My reply: "Catherine is her own person. I produced the trailer and that was my only condition that I made clear to Alex. Use all of it or don't use it. He understood and said so…. But I am at liberty, am I not, to hold to my original condition? I didn't mess up your schedule…  "You presumed you could just go ahead and cut the trailer and that I would give in and say fine…."So this is not about who lives in a fantasy world. I don't and I'm not suggesting you do either. I'm just trying to make the case for the consistency and reasonableness of my position." 

Justin Wells: "Bulls-t. You've wasted enough of our time… I didn't know what your terms were. You dumped them on us at the last minute. You and Salem are dictating how much of a trailer a news show runs that's trying to give you promotion? 

… "Pathetic. There is nothing reasonable about your position. It's moronic." 

End of exchange. I'll conclude with just a couple of observations about this sorry encounter. Contrast my attempt to be civil and decent throughout with Wells' abusive tone. Note also that Wells makes it clear ("I/we") he's speaking for both him and Tucker.  What corporation in America can get away with treating people this way? Remember I'm a regular Fox guest. I've been appearing on the network almost every week for a couple of years.

… Suzanne Scott the CEO of Fox needs to address this issue, not because of the exchange itself, but because it seems to be the explanation, or a big part of the explanation, for Tucker suppressing any mention of "2000 Mules" on the air.

A "news" show? And WHY would 2000 Mules be any different than literally EVERYTHING else they suppress? 

 

The movie is important because of the issues it raises. Without honest elections we're no longer a constitutional democracy. The country is at stake Archived: https://archive.ph/kZc3J https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1525102708725796864.html

NO, it's a monster more dangerous than CNN & MSDNC, COMBINED.
