TFW PBS NewsHour is dunking on your campaign to your face : politicalmemes

RFK deserves the dunking-on, but "I think my family would vote for me if I ran for president" is petty and speculative in order to generate views. Does PBS engage in 24 hour news cycle punditry now?

It's neither petty nor punditry when she's honestly answering the simple and direct question her guest posed to her.

Exactly. Forcing ourselves to respond to trolls as if they're legit is A HUGE PART OF HOW WE GOT TO THIS PLACE OF INSANITY.

This motherfucker is crazy and unqualified. And he's putting us all in danger, with his narcissistic third-party run, in this election of all elections. We don't owe him anything. We need to stop answering lunatic shit with "well, hold on now, we have to treat this fringe whacko and all his dumbass, sophomoric, pulled-straight-out-of-his-ass opinions with just as much gravity as any real political scientist would command."

Fuck that. It needs to stop. It has gone on far too long, already. Make incompetent morons feel like morons again.

Two thirds of your name is a lie. Please tell me the 69 is still true. PLEASE!

Do I have some good news for you

Man annoyed that he has never been important spends an inordinate sum of money to prove once and for all that he isn't important.

Just shows that money really can't buy you happiness, and it certainly can't buy you common sense.

I don't know what's going on. Someone explain it to me?

The photo has two individuals in it. The interviewer is on the left, Amna Nawaz, and RFK Jr is responding to a question by asking one of his own, “does everyone in your family agree with you?” Amna’s response is to reply that, “I think that they’d vote for me if I ran for president.”

RFK Jr family has come out against his presidential campaign. I believe they have aligned with the Biden campaign.

The burn here implies that: if you can’t even get your own family votes, how can you expect to get American voters?

Edit: clarification of people

Thanks, I originally read that backwards first and was confused.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

You just hit me right in the wholesome. I appreciate your response very much. I have been conditioned to expect condescending responses and yours was informative to answer the persons question.
May the road rise up to meet you.

I heard this in Sloan Sabbath's voice

Why does he have a name and not her?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

We are referring to her by her title, as her preferred form of address.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Ait

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because this story is about him, not her. You don’t have to see gender conflict everywhere.

[+] [email protected] -7 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I don't actually care about gender? Who inserted that? Wtf?

It's about her to me.

Sorry that you are offended.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Obvious troll account is obvious.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Journalists are never the story. The profession is completely designed around that their job is to present the story and when other people write about how the story was presented in that they need to mention the journalist, they'll mention them by their news org, such as here where she is referred to as a PBS NewsHour presenter. Its not a slight, its just the best way we've found to reduce the number of Brian Williams and Matt Lauers we have in the world

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope she made a great comeback

I'm not into American politics

Sorry it is offensive to you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not offensive. Just saying why it was presented this way. it's pretty typical stuff. The argument can be made that amonymizing reporters only benefits capital holders. My current stance is undecided. Pragmatically, I think as long as we're stuck with capitalism its better to present things like this but that doesn't mean I feel great about it or like it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah it makes sense. It was just annoying when I get American trauma all over, I am really disinterested in your gender wars and politics and how journalists should be named. I just wondered and in comes the shit train.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ok

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not ok. You inserted gender. I was trying to be polite? never seen such reactions on lemmy before. Sad that American politics is ruining exactly everything

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

He's always inserting his gender, essingmyaich.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Such a sick burn that I damaged my eyes reading it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago
