      Agreeing to this interview on CNN was the first truly stupid thing the Harris team has done imo.

      I agree, yet Media Bias/Fact Check continues to list it as left-center.

        MBFC is essentially based on the judgement call of a single person, which is why I absolutely would not treat it as gospel.

    I mean, the obvious question:

    “Mr. Trump, why are you afraid to be on camera with your VP pick, like you were when you did your first interview with Mike Pence?”

    Dehumanization involves viewing opponents as less than human, often to justify inhumane treatment.

    Some people just cannot respect women, no matter how much education and training they get. No one would ever use this analogy with Biden.

    At least they were “slammed.” A reputable news org wouldn’t have weird pundits like this on at all.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
