THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

RED EYE - AUGUST 12, 2014 FULL EPISODE



Greg welcomes guests Sam Morril, Michael Moynihan and Anthony Fisher.

Teamsters appeal to Padma Lakshmi for employment by threatening to "bash that pretty face in"
The Teamsters picketers were already mad. By the time Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi's car pulled up to the Steel & Rye restaurant in the picturesque New England town of Milton just outside Boston, one of them ran up to her car and screamed, "We're gonna bash that pretty face in, you fucking whore!"
"She was scared," said a Top Chef crewmember who witnessed the incident, which occurred in June while filming an episode for the upcoming 12th season of Bravo's popular skein, which premieres October 15. "He was screaming at her aggressively and violently."
Angry that the show had not signed a Teamsters contract and that the production hired local PA's to drive cast and crew vehicles, the dozen or so picketers from Boston's Teamsters Local 25 kept at it for hours, raining down racist, sexist and homophobic threats and slurs as staffers came to and left the set that summer day. Jenn Levy, Bravo's SVP Production, wasn't spared. Arriving at the restaurant in her black SUV, she soon found herself running a gauntlet of vitriol. "She got out of her car in front of the location and quickly ran through the picket line," a source said. "They were yelling, 'You bitch! You slut! We're gonna get you!' It went on like that all day."
