Unfortunately, a majority of comments I’ve seen online on that interview say Harris couldn’t stop talking about trump or couldn’t answer any question she was asked. Absolutely amazing to me the difference here.
Almost as though these interviews and debates don’t really matter. They’re just fuel for a barrage of bot-powered social media spam and talk radio/podcast spin.
My father-in-law will periodically pop in to hang out. He listens to right-wing radio and has friends who are hooked on it, and he will ask these very bizarre pointed questions about why Harris/Biden are doing XYZ. And all I can respond with is “They’re not doing that. That’s totally manufactured. Here’s proof.” He’ll acknowledge it. But then he’ll come back a week later with another nonsense allegation.
I want to say “Just Google this shit before you ask”, but then I Google it myself and find a wall of right-wing hysterical talking points based on how my father-in-law phrased the question.
I appreciate you posting that. My late ex fil did the same thing. Had a total conspiracy minded friend. Was always awkward I had to be the one to say “No, Trudeau didn’t do that.”
At least he was nice and respectful about it. My cousins on the other hand… well, I get very high at family gatherings now.
Does your partner hate Fox News (or talk radio in this case) for stealing their father from them?
Mine does.
Edit to add: so much so that she often wonders aloud if there’s a chance she and all the others can sue Fox for …something. I wish they could. I wish the people of the USA had some means of redress for all the harm Fox news has caused by irresponsibly masking angertainment and calling it news.
