Leann Tweeden just signed a book deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group

[CousinIT]

Well, well, well. Leann Tweeden just signed a book deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group - you know Mercer, Bannon, Gorka, et al.

Link to tweet

[malaise]

1. Oh My!

Get thee to the greatest page

[babylonsister]

2. I read this last night and have

been looking for a source/link, but no dice so far so don't know how true it is.

[octoberlib]

3. I googled it and am finding no source.

Is Sinclair broadcasting even in the publishing business?

[bagelsforbreakfast]

4. Pure co-incidence. They are solely interested in her weighty thoughts

on world affairs. Has absolutely nothing to do with he who shall not be named. But will focus on HRC emails!

[Demsrule86]

5. Of course she has signed up for a book deal...her reward for attacking a Democrat with her

lies...some here are going to feel pretty foolish after defending her.

[LakeArenal]

34. For sure...

Despite others' requests to wait and see... We are seeing plenty...

[DesertRat]

6. Sinclair isn't in the book publishing business

This is merely an unsourced rumor. Until when/if it's verified, I think your title should be edited to say "someone on twitter says..."

[HAB911]

7. OFFS

who could have seen this coming?

[heaven05]

8. ya think

I am not impressed. It's all about money and getting land in Uruguay or wherever before this administration and our RW congressional enemies with the help of a RW SC destroy, COMPLETELY, this country of ours and millions of lives here.

[Alice11111]

10. !!!

[heaven05]

14. really!!!!

and all these RW types are self-serving and extremely dangerous to all who oppose them. IF she wasn't a staunch trump ddump supporter, I might give her the benefit of doubt. Since everything that has come out about her accusations and possible political motivations in this 'case', naw. I am sorry I got pissed at Franken now. And yeah, the land buying out of this country is true. The bush family has large land holdings in Uruguay. Just made me wonder why. And no, I will not take cases like this tweeden case as true on face value anymore. Too much doubt, IN THIS CASE ONLY. Don't like it? Can't help it and....

The cases like trump p***y grabbing and moore rapes, yes, completely.

[Alice11111]

16. A book deal w the RW discredits her.

[jberryhill]

29. And believing every random tweet discredits you

Since the OP hasn’t bothered, perhaps you might explain why the fuck anyone should believe it?

[Alice11111]

47. We will see. I searched for the book deal for other sources,

and all I found were links to DU.

[keithbvadu2]

35. It would not discredit her to the RW.

Funny how the RW believes so strongly that the Trump/Moore accusers are the only ones doing it for the cash.

[Alice11111]

46. I agree.

[smirkymonkey]

9. A book deal? I'm sure it will be fascinating.

[DesertRat]

12. Since when does Sinclair publish books? This is an unsourced rumor. nt

[stonecutter357]

20. you seem very concerned ..

[DesertRat]

21. Yes, I'm concerned about unfounded twitter rumors

being spread on DU as fact.

[mobeau69]

37. +10000 n/t

[jberryhill]

31. Desert Rat isnt the only one

Pointing out that the factual basis of an assertion is idiotic - Sinclair doesn’t publish books - is not concern trolling.

[spanone]

11. grrrrrrr

[ehrnst]

13. Book? Sinclair Broadcast Group doesn't publish books. (nt)

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Will there be a glossy insert section with her Playboy spread?

[Alice11111]

17. And her grabbing the soldier's ass

[dalton99a]

27. +1

[jberryhill]

18. Is the idea here that people just believe anything someone tweets?

[cwydro]

19. Its becoming pretty frequent here.

I saw a thread referencing a fake tweet yesterday too.

What’s amazing is how many people believe this stuff.

[MGKrebs]

23. Not only believe it, but attack those who question it.

Really a shame. Putin's investment keeps paying dividends.

[moriah]

42. Apparently yes. I've been running into a brick wall on this.

The fact our pResident feels it's a valid news platform should be enough warning that not every Tweet is Gospel.

[LanternWaste]

48. No more and no less than people simply disbelieving anything someone tweets.

No more and no less than people simply disbelieving anything someone tweets (though no doubt the latter will rationalize their alleged skepticism).

[Hugin]

22. Of course, she did...

[ramblin_dave]

24. No other source for this. Most likely fake.

Please provide a credible source, not just some twitter post from an unverified account.

[Paladin]

25. Hope you enjoy this, "Franken Must Resign" brigade. (nt)

[MineralMan]

26. Random tweet by someone nobody knows.

I doubt its accuracy very much, especially since Sinclair is not a publisher of books.

Really, not everything on Twitter is worth sharing here.

[Turbineguy]

30. Well, why not?

Harming America is one of the best paying gigs around. Bulk buyers will turn it into a best seller. Cut down a forest. More paper for the recyclers.

[defacto7]

32. I have evidence that it's a fact...

The word "tweet" begins with the letter "t". The word "true" also begins with "t". That means tweet equals true! So if it's a tweet it must be true. Think like an rw and it will all become clear. That's why Noah's Ark is... is.. a nown fact.

[Not Ruth]

36. We need a new word inspired by The Princess Bride.....twue

If you use it, I will take credit every time.

”twue”

Definition: a true tweet

[moriah]

39. I'm stealing this now... with glee, if I have your permission.

Do you want attribution?

[GeorgeGist]

38. More likely ...

Russian trolls playing the left like a cheap fiddle.

[moriah]

40. Whether they're 4chan basement dwellers or Russians or Chinese ops...

... they're certainly getting lulz from it.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

41. A random person said it on Twitter, so it MUST be true!

FFS, when did DU become so intellectually lazy?

TWITTER IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE.

[moriah]

44. When they're Tweets we *want* to believe.

Like the ones saying that an unnamed photographer claimed she was awake for the photo, it was doctored, people who admit they might have been flying the plane but still have concrete information they're not sharing with news agencies that she was awake for it, etc.

We want to believe anything that discredits this allegation, and enough people share anything that supports their view reflexively that these end up here.

[NastyRiffraff]

43. I'll wait for reliable sources

before believing this, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if she signed a book deal with someone. Probably not Sinclair, though.

[MFM008]

45. Next a job at fox

Or something else high profile.
Hell...press secretary could be next.
