‘Smug,’ ‘Douche’ And ‘Alec Baldwin’ Appear In This Story — But Not How You Would Expect

Let’s try to follow Alec Baldwin‘s thick, brainless thought process.

On Thursday morning, the actor who MSNBC fired for calling a New York photographer a faggot (he claims he said “fathead” not “faggot”)  quotes a NYT headline saying NBC News anchor Brian Williams admitted he wasn’t on the helicopter that was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade. This was 7:01 a.m. (Just in case CNN’s Brian Stelter is following all this nerdiness on his Smartphone.)

One hour and 50 minutes later, Baldwin lashes out at Daily Caller reporter Chuck Ross (and all reporters here, really, since he’s so well-acqainted with us) for reporting that Williams lied to Baldwin in 2013 about being shot down in a helicopter. Which, um, turned out to be false as the world learned Wednesday night that Williams had bizarrely dreamed up the near death experience.

Naturally in Baldwin’s mind, anyone who questions the truthfulness of what Williams told Baldwin during an interview is a douchebag.

Ross, one of the so-called “douches,” fired back at Baldwin with a few pointed tweets.

When asked for comment on Baldwin’s tantrum, he told The Mirror, “Brian Williams appears to have lied to his employer, the troops, the nation, David Letterman and Alec Baldwin, but, yeah, I’m the asshole.”

Asked to psychologically assess Baldwin, Ross said, “I think Baldwin must be taking the anger he, as a self-respecting alpha male, must have towards Williams for lying to his face out on the reporter who wrote the story. Either that, or he thinks millionaire journalists should be able to lie if they want to.”

 Random comments from The Daily Caller newsroom:

  • “Does he not have any balls? He pretends to call us smug douches. So cough it up…he uses this weasel word ‘seems’. That’s a drive-by pussy smear. Come on down, let’s have it out. He’s pretty fucking lame.”
  • “You mean that guy from Hunt for Red October?”
  • “Why are Hollywood actors such smug bastards who think they know better than us?”
  • “It’s a terrible temptation to be smug when that’s the best insult Hollywood can offer.”
  • “Touching coming from the biggest douche of them all.” (– Brian Danza)
  • “Alec Baldwin? Is that Stephen’s brother or something?”
  • “Hey, Alec, I banged Kim Basinger.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
