Good news.
Gasparino, who is friends with Nunberg, said the former Trump campaign staffer admitted drinking before his appearances yesterday and told him to “get help”:
In a Fox Business recap of the Nunberg saga, Charlie Gasparino claimed that, as an old acquaintance of Nunberg’s, he did not “want to be doing this story right now,” adding later that he did not feel it was his “professional obligation” as a reporter to “blow this guy up.”
“When he told me this stuff, that he wanted to go public with it, that he wanted me to break it, I asked him three times whether he was sure and is he of sound mind to do this, because I didn’t think he was,” Gasparino related to Fox Business colleague Liz Claman. “He told me he was drinking. … I just watched him on MSNBC and CNN, and the man needs help.”
“If you’re listening Sam, get help. What I just witnessed was a trainwreck and I feel bad for the guy,” Gasparino pleaded.
Gasparino also tweeted that he warned the other networks of Nunberg’s drinking, but to no avail:

Any network that put Nunberg on in that condition has some explaining to do:
not a fun story and i have real questions about the ethics of putting sam on TV yesterday given his state of mind https://t.co/QICFXTXFR9
