Fox's Liz Trotta Sneers at Amy Goodman and Democracy Now for Supporting #OWS Movement
It appears that Fox's Liz Trotta is terribly upset that PBS decided to give Democracy Now's Amy Goodman a little face time on the Charlie Rose Show earlier this week. She spent the better part of her weekly commentary time with Fox's Uma Pemmaraju this Saturday being completely dismissive of Goodman and Democracy Now because heaven forbid they represent a "lefty" point of view and continually lied to their audience calling the rest of the "mainstream" media, which we all know is actually the corporate media, "liberal" as well.
Given the fact that Fox did its best to ignore the protests completely along with most of the corporate media until they started growing to a point where they could no longer be ignored and Fox's continual mockery and dismissive attitude towards the movement and the protesters since then, segments like this are now the norm on that network. What I found surprising about this segment is the fact that they decided to acknowledge that Amy Goodman and her program Democracy Now even exist at all.
PEMMARAJU: Alright, amid the flurry of Occupy protests, a news program called Democracy Now is getting much more attention than usual. Fox News contributor Liz Trotta is joining us now to explain. Hi Liz.
TROTTA: Good morning, or good afternoon Uma. You know, Democracy Now, as this so-called independent grass roots network is called has been around for about fifteen years. And the star of the show is a rather sternly prim lefty by the name of Amy Goodman. And they deal with all manners of left wing... all manner of left wing causes and have been particularly under the microscope since these Occupy protests, which they've fallen in love with of course.
But you know they're... Amy Goodman and her compatriots are charging that the mainstream media, that means the liberal mainstream media, hasn't gotten their story right. So she gave... this was said in an interview she gave with Charlie Rose last week. Let's see... let's hear a little bit of it, of Amy Goodman from Democracy Now.
(VIDEO)
GOODMAN: I think the mainstream media has been revealed through all of this over these last five weeks as not being mainstream any more... because if you look at the polls now, most Americans actually support these Occupy Wall Street movements all over the country.
(END VIDEO)
TROTTA: Well, we can't call her wrong on that. The polls have shown support for the Occupy movement. But what's really amazing is how she's giving a lash to the mainstream media, which of course if the liberal mainstream media and saying really that they're not liberal enough. And I guess when you look at it from Amy Goodman's point of view, it's absolutely true.
Now who are these people? They're on an hour every night in New York. Check your local guides for times and stations. They claim to be on nine hundred and fifty stations across the country, they don't carry ads and they said they don't have ratings. And they also say that they run... are run by contributions from individuals. One can just imagine what that lefty list looks like.
Their subjects are quite interesting but very predictable; the Oakland and New York protests, protesters of all kinds, activists from Egypt who even admit on the air that they're here to see if they can get a handout and even some old time Vietnam war veterans; even Iraq veterans against the war, you name it.
They're all there for an hour everyday. Look for this program if you really want to be entertained and they promise to be on a lot more to delve even deeper and support even more what we now know as the nationwide, Occupy protest movement.
PEMMARAJU: Well, there you go Liz. It will be interesting to see what this winter weather does to all those folks who are camping out and about.
TROTTA: Oh, good point. Good point. I got up this morning and looked out the window and thought hmmm... I wonder how many are left.
PEMMARAJU: Exactly Liz. We shall see.
This woman is so full of hate, it's oozing out of her ears.
It's all those lefty liberals fault. Of course it is, after all, the left has been in the oval office since Reagan left office. The GOp haven't been able to do anything. The left is turning this country into a socialist 3rd world country. And we all know that Sharia law is coming. The left wants that one too.
You see, women like this old hag, are scared. Scared of what might happen. Even though, it can't possibly happen, they still fear it might. So, they stoke the fires of fear. Gotta have somethin to do. Gotta earn that mill a year. doncha know.
What is your conceptual, continuity?

are sure All-Amerrykkkan sounding names!
What you have here are a couple of individuals who are into buying the big lie that they did it on their own. They are too stupid to do any real analysis as to why they are able to throw shit on the wall for FAUX and the whore house that is NewsCorp.
Recovered believer of myth that no government is better than no government.
As always. This woman is just a clown, one of many on corporate teevee.
What the fuck did she say? Was there a point to any of that?

What was even odder was that dissing DN seemed to be the entire point of that segment.
There was no point in anything she said. Just a dismissal of DN. The trots acting like her cocktail party was crashed by an unwelcome neighbor
....besides them being intolerant racist fucking dogs is that they dismiss everything Liberals stand for.
This mean raggedy bitch really has no point except that she hates Amy Goodman.
over these clowns.
Seriously, what kind of ad hominem insult is that? Is "stern prim" their version of "bitch"?
Is "sternly prim lefty" a contradiction in terms?
As for Amy Goodman, I find that she is one of the few real reporters left in the world. What we mostly see on the TV these days are news "presenters." I'd trust the facts that Amy brings to the table every day more than I would trust one second of propaganda that Faux "News" puts out.
And what's more? The people in the OWS movement KNOW that Fox News lies. It's so funny when Fox tries to interview a protestor.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught

Right wing projection again.

Damn Commies! Why do they hate "Merika so...

Liz Trotta is not good enough to even clean Amy Goodman's toilet.
Close enough. We don't want the site monitor on our ass. ;0)
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
They can only dream of being real journalists of Amy Goodman's high order. They've never heard of Democracy NOW? Well, I've never heard of Liz Trotta! Maybe because she lives on another planet. Her dripping contempt is both sickening and laughable!
Of living in a bubble. With no honest intellectual curiosity. Truth need not apply.

In her case only a light rinse was needed.

F&%k her and the station she rides in on....
That's what her face looks like.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the republic which it established, one nation from many peoples, promising liberty and justice for all
She seems dead inside and out.
She's pretending to not know that half of the nations on planet earth wouldn't exist if the US didn't give them money and weapons.
Marie Antoinette sneered at the public too before she met her untimely demise. So good luck, you twisted clod, working for the dismissive and condescending Fox Propaganda Network tells us all we need to know about you---mainly that you can't make it anywhere else.

Marie Antoinette never actually said those things that were attributed to her. Liz is the Marie that never existed in real life. She may be an author but is not much of a journalist though. WOW!!! What an attitude. I guess she thinks that anybody whe does not agree with her view point should just shut up and go away she failed.
Where was Liz Trotta when Amy Goodman was being severely beaten for covering the mass killing in East Timor by the Indonesion Government?
Where was Liz Trotta when Amy Goodman was brutally arrested in Minneapolis while covering the Republican Convention, or being refused entry into Canada because of her political views?
Probably putting on her special Fox News kneepads after eating caviar and drinking champagne. It's so easy to sit behind that safe on-set desk, spew hatred and criticize "lefties" and the phantom "liberal" MSM.
It's a crying shame and a sad commentary on todays MSM journalists that reporters like Liz don't have the cajones of Amy Goodman.
Neatly put. Too bad the insipid, dead-eye moron troll has no soul; ergo cannot feel embarrassment, shame or laugh at the bitter irony! Saw Amy down Times Square before the cop rodeo. Typically, in the midst of the turbulent story... now here in the US of A, with tens-of-thousands of formerly middle-class white folks stepping up. Sufficiently downtrodden to finally get what she's been reporting for decades. You beat me to the comment, as every time I see an image of this sniveling, snickering, sniffing stereotype ... I have to run to the bathroom.
Bitch!
Looks like the evil twin of Emily Hartley (from the old "The Bob Newhart Show").

Dried up nasty old whore.
Lefties are nasty unwashed types to her, but when they're not, she uses 'prim' as a nasty putdown. Trots would NEVER have gone to a third world country taken over by another w/ US help to risk her life to report like Goodman did. And Trots wouldn't have the balls to try to start her own news show and shop it, stick with it for all the years, build it grow it, and STILL report, like a real journo. Goodman has.
Jealousy is so unbecoming, Trots, but in your case, it's hardly noticeable.
me-oww!
What's that evil chick from the dalmatian movie doing on TV?
Both women auditioned for the Cruella DeVille part, but they didn't get it. Bachmann was too demented, and Trotter was too mean.
Because she is on GOP TV - FOX LIES channel.

What a disgusting human being Liz Trotta is. Her cold-blooded disregard for the suffering of real Americans reveals the inhumanity of the economic vampires she represents.
Sneering. Smirking. That's the stale upper crust we must defeat.
".....sternly prim lefty..."; and this coming from a woman who's face looks like it's worn out three bodies!

Liz Trotta just did more for Amy's ratings than Amy could have paid for! Thanks Liz!

Good Lord! All that lady did was spew some worn out talking points . . . from a script. What a truly pathetic sight. Is she supposed to be some kind of expert? Is there something special about her that I can't see?

This Liz freak is nothing more that an old ugly hag trying to be relevant... and failing. She is simply a gross human being.
Lizzard Trotshit is a great ass et to Fox news! Just where would that traitor to our country be without being on propaganda traitor Fox's payroll? Liz Trollop showed her jealously of Amy Goodman by having so much to say about her!! And the OWS movement could not make them more angry, proving we Liberals are making them run scared!! Thanx Amy Goodman for always being there!
the GOP ... Americans Public enemy No. 1
Who is calling whom "sternly prim"? LOL
Faux news are losing ,and they know!
