inb4 trump rant online about it. Dude doesn't give a shit about the country, but ratings? That hurts him.
He's on some minor social media site with a bunch of incoherent posting in all caps.
Way too late. Almost immediately afterwards, he started crying about how “weak” FoxNews is.
I am watching it now. I would never choose to watch Fox by choice other than the viral BS videos. She is doing well. He is talking over here, and it's GREAT. Great from the perspective of poking them on their turf. She is holding her own. Is she who I would choose if I was a chooser? No. But you know..fascism....so...here we are.
It seems like Harris is happy with how the interview went but I'm seeing negative coverage too. I wonder what viewers open to changing their minds actually thought.
"Becket Adams is a columnist for National Review, the Washington Examiner, and the Hill. He is also the program director of the National Journalism Center."
Greasy smarmy conservative creep thinks Democrat didn't do well, news at 11
I knew that article from the Hill read like it was dripping with loaded words and bias so I checked out the author Becket Adams and found this:
"The National Journalism Center (NJC) is an American conservative political organization established in 1977 by conservative journalist M. Stanton Evans. Its president is Scott Walker, former Republican governor of Wisconsin, who is also president of Young America's Foundation. The current program director is Becket Adams, who has written for conservative publications including the Washington Examiner and the National Review.[1] The NJC runs programs and internships for journalism students to educate them on professional journalism and conservative political issues and values."
He's a conservative, of course he's going to shit on her parade. If my memory serves, Scott Walker is also a piece of shit.
Scott Walker is a huge piece of shit
That's all correct, but wasn't Harris's goal to appeal to conservatives?
I didn't find the article particularly convincing because there's a clear answer to the question of why Harris defended Biden's mental acuity, everyone knows it, but Harris can't admit it explicitly. No one wanted to be the first person to say that the emperor had no clothes.
well of course she is not going to convince someone who's source of living is being conservative propagandist...
the question is whether or not she had a chance to convince even 1% of normal conservative voters.
Yes, but what I'm saying is his take is going to be slanted on purpose. He isn't trying to have an objective take on her performance, he's going to write an article trying to make her look as bad as possible.
I'd rather know what johnny conservative thought of his own mind, rather than someone with the goal of making you not like her but johnny conservative doesn't have a media outlet I suppose lol
If you want to know what Johnny Conservative thinks, just go read the Fox news YouTube comment section for insightful comments like "MAGA!!!" and "TRUMP2024!!" and "lolol word salad Hahaha ha she didn't know the number!!!"
These people are not well.
Unfortunately very true lol
That's a good point. He does seem like he would probably write this sort of article as part of his political agenda regardless of what he sincerely believed. Thus the existence of the article provides almost no information about what conservative voters might actually be thinking.
If it is in The Hill you should always be looking for issues like this, they publish a lot of crap written by crap people who aren't trustworthy and have an agenda.
If only actually votes mattered.
They do of course. If you're in battle ground states they matter a TON, and they matter for everyone in local elections.
That's a lot of "ifs" and "ands".
We gotta talk about what "a lot" means.
How many places does it not matter what you vote whether it be "rural red" or hardcore "big city blue"? Answer -a lot. Better answer -any is to fucking many.
Far less than hundreds of thousands of towns and municipalities where local elections have pitiful turn outs most of the time and things are regularly decided by just a handful of votes of difference. 5 people could mean the difference between a far right fascist city council or school board and something sensible.
Even in my fairly decently sized city, our school board was just 300 votes away from going full tilt book banning and transphobic.
Just vote. It's one day a YEAR, stop worrying about how many people are on your side and just do it. If nothing changes, then nothing changes but at least there exists the possibility of good change
In 2020, one state (Georgia) can make or break an election, but in 1963, and 1865, one nutjob with a gun can change the coarse of history all on his own.....
In the 2060s, I sure hope we have better measures in place...
In 2060 I hope the climate has finally won. Lol jkjk
Sure does say something that 8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News because the content was worth it for a brief moment.
There are probably a lot of people who have begun having doubts about the orange bad who still wouldn’t trust other networks and needed it to be on Fox to tune in. I hope she got through to enough of them to make a difference.
She doesn't even need to get them to switch. Just stay home and decide it isn't worth committing treason for.
8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News
Yeah. Their regular viewer base.
that would actually be a lot better than if they were just visiting kamala fans.
I keep almost seeing if I can fish it somewhere to watch, and then I remember it won’t change my mind, and it will probably just upset me.
It says a fuck ton of people wanted to watch Kamala Harris wipe the floor with Brett Baier
So many people think he "owned" her. Or that she didn't answer his questions, and I'm like, "did you watch the same thing?"
They probably didn’t. They’re probably just repeating what they heard some Fox News host say
I thought she did great. But with his constant interruptions, nobody could sound that great
She handled him, tho. Kept saying, “excuse me, let me finish” and didn’t let him stop her
