A number of astute readers sent me the link today. Long story very short: The Wendy Bell upward fail has made it into The Daily Beast!
Here's the headline:
Wendy is one of those "local news stars" doncha know.
After a few sentences describing out Newsmax trumpeted landing Wendy, Daily Beast inserted:
And though Newsmax trumpeted her experience as the “main anchor and most decorated reporter” at ABC’s Pittsburgh affiliate WTAE, and boasted of her success as “the lone conservative female voice” on southwestern Pennsylvania radio airwaves, the network made no mention of how or why she lost either of those gigs.
“They have been courting her for a while,” one Newsmax insider told The Daily Beast of the network‘s management. “Probably hoping most people, like myself, don’t even know who she is.”
Sounds about right.
But the most important thing to notice is this paragraph:
Bell’s inflammatory rhetoric hasn’t only revolved around matters of race and crime. She once compared critics of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 rules to the victims of the 2012 Benghazi attacks. And last year she began posting false claims about widespread election fraud, inevitably veering into COVID-19 skepticism and anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Heeheeheehee!
