The Making of the Fox News White House
Can't excerpt, it's too long and I am only one third through reading it. But I thought you might be better equipped than me to 'essay it'. It's worth it to do so, right?
There is something about Greta van Susteren in it. I remember her when she was still 'non-foxidized'. That's a long, long time ago.
Okay this is being splashed all over the news media. The New York Times:
CNN Politics:
Just hours after the Trump administration's direct attack on transgender kids, protesters gathered outside the White House. It was probably the largest crowd of people supporting transgender rights ever! It was yuuuuuge! Larger than Trump's inauguration!
Draining the Swamp
When you are up to your ass in alligators, it is difficult to remind yourself that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.
I know that everyone has been distracted, what with the Ides of March passing, five primaries, and the beginning of March Madness, but you know what?
Other things continue to happen.
Why, just Monday the White House appointed the first ever transgender person to the post of LGBT liaison. She's a Jewish Latina trans woman (you know, the person you joke about when trying to be over-the-top absurdly politically correct), named Raffi Freedman-Gurspan.
Freedman-Gurspan became the first transgender staffer appointed to the White House in 2015, working as the outreach and recruitment director in the presidential personnel office.
Raffi's new official title is Outreach & Recruitment Director for Presidential Personnel and Associate Director for Public Engagement.
