I felt that this 60 minutes interview wasn’t fair AT ALL and heavily slanted toward calling the Harris/Walz campaign on the most trivial shit.
For example, calling out Walz on the few times he’s misspoke and then asking how the voters can trust him.
Fuck allllll the way off with that bush league line of goddamn questioning. It’s not comparing apples to apples to pretend Walz is some huge liar when Trump and Vance lie literally every time they open their mouths with egregious, dangerous and racist lies. It’s disingenuous and ridiculous “reporting”.
Same with saying Harris’ plan would hurt the economy. Trump had Obama’s economy served up to him on a silver platter, tanked it (partial credit to Covid and the war in Ukraine as aggravating factors), and is pretending it’s all the Biden-Harris administration’s fault. Macroeconomically America is recovering from its recent economic downturn, similarly to Canada. Maybe, just maybe, the middle class is not feeling this because of wage suppression, corporate greed, price gouging and purposeful, weaponized incompetence by the Republicans in Congress.
Yeah…I thought ABC did great on the fact checking during the Harris debate. But in general, professional journalism is in a sad state.
Feeding into the false equivalence by being “equally” challenging is a part of the sanewashing. Someone needs to tell these journalists that treating bad faith actors differently than good faith actors is desirable and doesn’t make you biased.
