Want to read about that whole Rob Porter thing? You know, that White House dude whose two ex-wives accused him of abusive behavior, whose ex-girl friend claimed was receiving special treatment because he was “dating” White House babe/communications director Hope Hicks.1 Or how about Stormy Daniels, the porno star who received a $130,000 payment “facilitated” by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and also totally did not sleep with Donald? Or how about Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, who went and got himself indicted?
Would you? Well, don’t read the Weekly Standard or the National Review. Because they don’t have a damn thing to say about any of them. I guess this stuff is just not news.
- Hicks was a teen model for Ralph Lauren. The possibility that her relationship with Porter, discussed in Fleet Street if not K Street back in November, was the catalyst for the recent revelations regarding Porter has received little attention in the American media, at least the “prestige press that I peruse. ↩︎
