Alec Baldwin has written a berry very long piece in New York magazine
basically set the record straight when it comes to a number of things that he's
been accused up
the whole system is peace is to argue that he is not a homophobe
remember he had a number I run-ins with Papa Roxy
there was one writer in The Daily Mail who accuse will be homophobic
after he claimed that his wife was texting at Gandolfini is a
funeral and then Alec Baldwin responded by calling him a queen
and people thought that was homophobic and then later I he had a run in with
Papa Roxy that was chasing after his wife
at him and here's his response to TMZ video listen very closely to what he
says to him
good fine
so that was pretty bad so understandably people calling him a homophobe for that
although I don't think that people
use that word because they're homophobic I think it's always just kinda been an
insult
without really understanding what the word means to be completely honest with
you guys anyway just to give you an example some us up the road is peace
he says I'm trying to understand what happened how an altercation on the
street in which I was accuse wrongly
abusing a gay slur could have cascaded like this
that's been the shift in my life and it's caused me to step back and say
this is happening for a reason am i a homophobe love I work in show business
i'ma wash in gay people as colleagues and his friends
I'm doing rock the pages one day making out with Russell Brand
soon after that I'm advocating with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Cynthia Nixon
for marriage equality
I'm officiating officiating at gay friends weddings
I'm not homophobic person at all but this is how the world sees me now
okay so but agree disagree in part so
reversible he claimed that he did not the say
faggot cock sucker he said Fathead cocksucker
no one in the world believes that okay so
just keep it real at you should what here's what he shoulda said
look it slipped up in the middle incredible
heated passion what i'd dumb thing it was thus a
and it's because I grew up in a time when it was a common a
in so that people use just like you and I was measuring but it was
unacceptable I shouldn't have said it I feel so bad about it because
look at all the work that out that my body work in my life right
I make out with Russell Brand I'm not gonna go help Cynthia Nixon I'm
he writes cause I'm not gonna officiated game when the above all Opel
that would've been the perfectly right way to handle it if you ask me I shall
be sure to set a watching gay people either
yeah so reality is always a silly seriousness
right things but after reading this lengthy piece do I think he's coming at
it from a malicious point of view
I don't I don't and so
it's hard not to empathize with them because he lives under a microscope
many makes an eloquent points about how now
everything we do he said echoes in a digital Canyon for eternity
and so you don't get judged by all your good points and look
their parts let you read than you ha I when it said it that way
NEC admit this is not better man look I became a real with you
I'm is done with the media and I'm a get out the spotlight after I make my case
here
yes I'm definitely better okay but he says
look um all the good things that I did
didn't count for anything break because we were talking about the good things
just a couple of moments AVB ok inappropriate things and that's it
that's all
anybody ever talks about and that's a good characterized and
Eni's he's right about that he's right that that sir huge huge problem
you look in the PC talks about all that charities that is given to
I would've brought it down a little bit he talks about how we give aways 30
rock a or his entire salary to charity
and now all these things have been canceled because of the
gay slurs Capital One with big people call gay slurs and I think I actually
are gay slurs
Capital One's castle his podcast the love that he modeled MSNBC show after
on WNYC radio station got cancelled other ads cancel
by the way he's also put some to me I'm just interpreting here but
like he was a little bitter cuz he can even make any money anymore got bored
with those things at least right he still an actor
so everything's gone base I'm
bike I don't Queen I guess that's bad but the
words are changing all the time like if you said to me are you
is Queen definitely in a soap towards gay people
I'm not sure I wanna know mister that a week ago right yeah
words art or the me being and the feeling behind words are changing all
the time for instance when you call someone a bit rate
you're not implying you're not trying to be a misogynist like its it's just the
word that's you
so if someone if you use that word toward another guy
I would look at him and be like oh my god look at all besides
mistake he is right because the the connotation behind that word has changed
significantly
you see what I'm saying here so in the case up the F word or
bag in this case right I mean it change from just a generic
in salt and now being something very specific to the gay community
nm by the way it like to sew understand of course it started against gays rate
but it became a general in South the right and it doesn't excuse it
and their right to say in up with without word is a hideous work you're
right about that
and and I think he was them monolayer he did is just trying to pretend he didn't
say
when it seems like I'm taping it really did say okay played
then is he a terrible demonic person initiative show be canceling everything
he's ever done been cancelled
because a a couple of missteps I don't know
I don't know I don't know this too high a standard for anybody and it looked yes
context matters
the rush limbaugh says it his kind Texas he has a history are saying it
an immediate rate was out bowling has a history
up helping gay rights and then to turn around and say
all that is wiped out one second when you're super angry that somebody was
coming after your
wiping he says something inappropriate I don't know that spares you guys all know
he got fired after
the so-called homophobic slurs also
he went crazy in his piece in attacking
MSNBC hosts I want to read you a little bit that he said I watched MSNBC prior
to working they're very sporadically
once I had signed a contract with them I want to see more what they were about
it turned out to be the same shit all day long the only difference was who was
actually pulling off whatever act they had come up with
so now he go he is really specific Morning Joe was boring Scarborough is
neither
eloquent nor funny you need to be is the Margaret Dumont
up cable news cases so far no one's surprise but they they're conservatives
right
and Alec Baldwin is a progressive yeah as about your
oh yeah I lawrence O'Donnell but he's too smart to be doing that show
Rachel Maddow is Rachel mad about the ultimate walk into we've got a show
polished it made it her own she's talented the problem and everybody on
MSNBC is none of them are funny
although that doesn't prevent them from trying to be
and then he starts are talking about Phil Griffin the veteran programmer who
knows well the core doors and chambers a television programming and couldn't give
a flying fuck about content
all you wanted to talk about was Giants tickets Super Bowl tickets restaurants
movies
other conversations about the set about the physical production at the show
cameras lighting it seemed like he wanted to get
those over with as quickly as possible he didn't care
he had four monitors on the wall they were all on muted
he never listen to them he never watched them
so I agree with a bad at least eighty percent over
okay a so whatever other
disagreements we might have I pack my by the pilgrim thing
completely those US I love James took the pic yet
definitely you did I mean that specifically Giants things that I
remember that we talk about sports all time
the the eighty percent I always a deep thinkers look
I don't mind talking about sports and the conversations I had with bill and
anybody else
where we're just really talking about my 10 saying harm in that and
Phil Wood every once in a while so wat in turn up the
volume if there was something going on in the screens so these me a little
unfair don't want on that stuff right
an and by the way they're all muted in a baller
law offices and MS NBC Fox CNN at center
now but s2 Crippen not giving a damn about content
he's a million percent right this Griffin
to somewhat to his credit kinda admits it in his most recent interview he did
he said
the flat out ask them if you could make more money like a billion dollars or
whatever doing a conservative program would you
any said I'm not answer them but you know the answers which is
absolutely with superman is a progressive
peace happens to be running this network for profit right
so of course he doesn't care about the contest so let me read to you %uh the
rest to this because I thought the
you would have appreciate the next a statement he said
once they fired me a former MSNBC employees I knew emailed me
he said you watch now bills gonna start leaking left and right to bear you
that's a million per cent right as well and by the way with the
sickening par that is not bill due in that he does it goes
that's what he's good at corporate wheeling and dealing right and that's
what he's been taught NU's okay now if you get somebody who might do you damage
you gotta justify that fiery so legal lot of bad information
about him like for example look missus keep it real for here for a second
when I'll I was having my departure with MSNBC
they started leaking numbers it of my readings in March
now at that point was July what caused by June embers were
awesome my main numbers were also my able numbers are pretty good
so he had to go all the way back to March define bad numbers
right so that he could leak it did he do that absolutely
okay mind the reason wire March numbers weren't stoller was because he started
taking their advice
when they told you to be more senatorial when they told you to write and look to
be fair to MSNBC overall
it was ok a also momentous the
Egyptian revolution Fukushima all these different things happen job in January
February March
and although MSNBC's numbers were down relative to CNN
but so if he does do that but what does this is what's more
deplorable other journals that play along in
the journalists who go I know pills leaking this to me
to put a hatchet and Alec Baldwin's back and I know that it's not necessarily
true
I know he's doing it for political and bureaucratic reason
under a bush in any way I'm not a publisher anyway cuz I gotta leave
yep who likely I'm gonna get the run a hot story
okay final part in this and it's the final job Rachel Madewell
another source told me you know was gonna get you fired don't you
Rachel film will do whatever Rachel tells them to do I think rachel Maddow's
quite good at what she does I'll
I also think she's a pony. who doesn't have the same passion for truth
off-camera and she seems to have on the air
damn that was the by far the most damaging partners are
bill I thought his people know what Phil griffin's about if they don't end up
paying attention night
up as far as Rachel goes look she's been perfectly pleasant me I work with her
damn America I work with her and MSNBC
I if she's doing machiavellian stop behind-the-scenes
I don't know it right so apparently that's what alec banks I
now the reason he thinks that is because he's convinced themselves
that he's she's part of what he called the gay Department of Justice in
you know which is another thing if you try to claim you not homophobic don't
call the gate Department of Justice
so he's makes errors here there's no question about that right
he thinks Anderson Cooper Rachel Maddow et cetera conspired
had to get them up there cuz they think he's homophobe is that true
I no friggin idea I don't believe that there's a a Department of Justice
afraid and what is Rachel do behind the scenes
church I'll peace he doesn't
any evidence that is my point yeah if I was him how to start with Paul Griffin
but as he says and he's not afraid to say he's better
repaid and he's like I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory here
