This morning, Ben Mulroney did a piece on Canada’s CTV Your Morning in which he hosted a supposed but unknown legal expert Darren Thorne. The segment hosted by Mulroney did a Wall Street Jounal-inspired job on Mueller’s investigation, subject of anther dailykos diary.
So many investigative bodies, tripping over each other, being asked to hold off for Mueller, no early news for American public, meeting the standards for prosecution, secrecy, witholding testimony of persons who may become witnesses in trials, process taking years.
Who would expect more from non- practicing Duke law grad, former host of Canadian Idol and Entertainment Tonight, breathless reporter from Oscar Red Carpet?
What more to expect from son of legend-in-his-own mind, ex- Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the Mare-Lago friend of Donald Trump and Wilbur Ross? He whose contacts will help us in renegotiating NAFTA?
Biography of father regales with tales of Brian the child singing Irish songs for pocket change for the American owners of the Iron Ore Company, when they visited the mines from Cleveland. This role he reprised at the Shamrock Summit when he sang Irish Eyes are… for St. Ronnie at Quebec City , enticing Ronnie to join in.
Ever the flatterers, Ben now flatters the Murdoch press line.
Why would Brian Mulroney even be a friend of Wilbur Ross? Why is he even invited to Mare Lago for dinner with Trump? Or is he too a member? Will he have any ongoing role in NAFTA renegotiations, given his close relationships to the other side?
So many linkages and questions to understand.
The broadcast made no mention of the recent WSJ article on the Mueller process, but it raised exactly the same points in the same order. The CTV network often has a conservative bias.
