@#1 ... where Trump is afraid to follow, lmao! ...

Yeah.

Fmr Pres Trump has shown himself to be all bravado in his words, but quite the coward in his actions.

I remember a supporter of fmr Pres Trump on this most august site once telling me, don't listen to fmr Pres Trump's words, watch his actions.

During this campaign season, fmr Pres Trump's actions seem to be more of a coward, not a leader.

He seems to be relying upon his vacuous words, rather than actions.

It IS a bold move for Harris.

A battle of the wits.

FOX will triple their viewers with this one.

Polling and the betting markets over the last couple of weeks have swung towards Trump. Harris campaign must be noticing and has decided to do this. Don't think they were interested when they were ahead.

She performed poorly on the friendliest platforms.

Baier will probably be fair but he will also probably ask her challenging questions and will likely push back on non-answers and ask follow ups to evasive answers.

#10 | Posted by oneironaut at 2024-10-14 10:25 PM

It's not about trying to persaude the rabid righties who watch Fox. It's about showing that she isn't afraid to do an interview with Baier on Fox in contrast to Trump who won't even do a debate with Baier moderating it. Part of her closing argument is that Trump's team dosn't want him to debate or do ian nterview on 60 Minutes because he is too weak and unstable.

Kamala Harris taunted Donald Trump at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, on Sunday, calling him out for not releasing recent medical records, declining a 60 Minutes interview and rejecting a second presidential debate.

"It makes you wonder--why does his staff want him to hide away?" Harris said. "One must question--are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America? Is that what's going on?"

The new line of attack from Harris comes as she recently released her own personal medical records, sat for her own "60 Minutes" interview last week and accepted a CNN town hall, after Trump refused to participate in a second presidential debate with the vice president. In North Carolina, Harris accused Trump of "not being transparent" with voters, especially for not releasing more up-to-date medical information, which "every other presidential candidate in the modern era has done," she said.

Internal polls are collapsing and she has no choice. Shockingly, Obama trying to shame black men into voting for the half Irish/half Indian woman raised in Canada didn't work as intended.

Fox News really doesn't have any credibility on the right any longer though. They are basically a centrist channel at this point.

If Fox has any integrity, they will play the video of the VA governor advocating for post birth abortion and the Ohio 911 call on the immigrants killing geese and ask for her to admit both stories were true. At the very least, they can ask her about her husband knocking up the nanny and knocking around his date as just revealed. They could also ask her when she realized that Joe Biden was so mentally impaired he needed to drop out of the race.

However, something tells me none of this will come up.

#11 Gal Tuesday,

You are cherry picking. Trump has done 2 interviews with Time, lasting about 90 minutes laying out his policy agenda. He had a 90 minute presser. He has gone on other outlets including Fox. Prior to this the closest thing Harris has done was her one 60 Minutes interview. Whitaker acted like a real journalist which was very refreshing. But instead of letting that stand CBS violated their own standards and considerably edited her answer about Israel to make her seem less incoherent.

And don't even get me started on Vance vs Walz.

Kamala had her chance to show up to a debate on Fox vs. Trump in September but her braindead handlers thought it would not be needed. So, we are where we are now.

NO ONE needs Trump to define himself. We have hours of tape of him explaining his policies and 4 years of prior experience of him doing it.

For Kamala, she needs the time to explain how the last 4 years are not her fault and what she will be doing different. Unfortunately for her, she has been completely unable to explain what she would do different than what the failed Biden/Harris administration did for the last 4 years and just used her time to explain how that was on Joe and not her.

OK, the MAGA crowd had been most critical of VP Harris for not going out and doing interviews with the press.

Fox News has selectively edited Trump's interviews so he doesn't sound like he's siding with Putin to give away Ukraine. They're Trump's MAGA propaganda machine, even when that means concealing what he's actually saying.

Fox News edited their Townhall with Donald Trump in June to make him sound normal.

In fact, the edits were so stark that @Acyn, @atrupar, and @BadFoxGraphics commented on them here on twitter.

But a Harris interview edit for time, while the full interview is posted online, has upset MAGA.

NO ONE is criticizing her for doing an interview on Fox News. I think most of MAGA is happy she is doing it as the odds of her doing/saying something campaign ending is greater than zero and it will change precisely zero % of the vote barring the career ending slip-up.

@#16 ... But instead of letting that stand CBS violated their own standards and considerably edited her answer about Israel to make her seem less incoherent. ...

How, exactly did CBS violate their own standards?

Yer up ...

Trump's complaints about '60 Minutes' put a spotlight on editing at the nation's top newsmagazine
apnews.com

... Donald Trump skipped a "60 Minutes" interview this past week, but he's attacking CBS for how it handled its session with opponent Kamala Harris, calling it a "giant fake news scam" and suggesting the network was out to protect her.

Portions of the Harris interview ran Monday on the newsmagazine and on the Sunday morning political show "Face the Nation." On two occasions, it depicted Harris giving different answers to questions posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker on the Biden administration's efforts to stop the war in the Mideast.

For CBS News, it was considered part of the typical editing and cross-promotion process that takes place for a big interview. Yet to those unfamiliar with journalism and television production, the effect can be jarring.

How did Harris appear to give two answers?

Whitaker interviewed Harris on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 5, in Washington for the special broadcast that aired Monday, two days later. But "60 Minutes" offered a portion of that interview to colleagues at "Face the Nation," both to give the Sunday morning show some fresh news and to "tease" the longer interview.

At one point, Whitaker observed that it appeared Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, did not appear to be listening to the administration's suggestions.

"Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," the vice president said in response, on the "Face the Nation" clip.

On "60 Minutes," after Whitaker said the same thing, Harris answered: "We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."

After the differences were pointed out online, Trump said on his Truth Social feed that Harris' "REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, to make her look better."

So what did Harris actually say to Whitaker?

Well, both things, according to CBS. Her full answer to the question was the two sentences put together " the first sentence used on "Face the Nation" and the second sentence on "60 Minutes."

CBS said the need to make the "60 Minutes" interview segment concise prompted the editing. The full interview with Harris took 45 minutes, and it was fit into a 20-minute slot on the broadcast. Yet the editing made it appear that the answer shown on "60 Minutes" was the first thing Harris said in response to the question. Having "Face the Nation" show Whitaker asking the question " instead of having someone paraphrase it -- added to the confusion and made CBS vulnerable to criticism. ...

And yet, the average income of the GOP voters is higher than that of the Democrats. So much 'education' on the part of the Democrats and such poor economic outcomes. Yes, typically GOP voters are unable to name more than 2 genders unlike their Democrat "educated" peers. But, as Kamala and Dougie proved this week, the GOP do know how to use simple tools like a shovel while the Democrats can't seem to figure it out.

Now actually show a link the contradicts what I ACTUALLY SAID which was "the average income of the GOP voters is higher than that of the Democrats". We all know the Dems have the elites at the top controlling their welfare dependent slaves at the bottom. That is why the average Democrat has lower income tan the average GOP voter - because you have way more of the welfare dependent slaves at the bottom.

Okay (from above link):

The first casualty was an inconvenience that halted Donald Trump for a minute or two while midflight answering questions about home prices, the border and small business.

By the time the second person collapsed in the heat of the overcrowded exhibition hall, the former president knew he had a problem. A few people at the back of the hall were making for the exits and he knew he needed to pump up the crowd. It was time for plan B.

'Let's not do any more questions,' Trump said to his audience in suburban Philadelphia. 'Let's just listen to music.'

Twitter engagement is at an all time high, meanwhile, traditional news is dying and laying off employees. On top of this, even your own braindead President used TWITTER, not the traditional MSM to announce he was dropping out. If that is your definition of failure, you need to be reset to factory settings. Twitter is the greatest free speech platform in the world today. But, keeping betting against Musk. Never worked in the past but maybe this time you will be right.

Despite Elon Musk's claims that X is reaching new record highs in usage every other month, and that the app remains a critical connector, the latest data shows that Elon's X project is losing user interest, sparked, in many cases, by Musk's own divisive commentary in the app.

According to new insights, X has seen a significant decline in users in both the U.S. and U.K. in recent months, as Musk has continued to double down on his political stances.

Linking to daily users in 2 selected markets to respond to my statement of 'engagement' is not responsive in the least when Twitter is completely transparent in how it measures engagement (hint: actual usage). It is attempting to cherry-pick data as you know you cannot respond to the actual argument in a truthful manner.

This was the same with Corky's totally non-responsive argument on the average income or GOP vs. Dem voters.

X is not "completely" transparent. Nor has it "completely" lived up to the open speech platform it was promised to become.

As the liberals have fled Twitter to their own safe spaces, it has become much less violent and less filled with racial slurs. Also, they finally stopped liberals from posting child porn. Now, if Elon can get rid of the liberal onlyfans girls, it will be an almost perfect platform.

@#67 ... Well, at least you were man enough to admit ...

As I stated, I admit when I have made an error.


Though, I see nothing "man enough" in such an admission.

It is just me being honest about what I post..


But then I have to ask...

Why is being honest described as being "man enough" by you?

Oh, that raises so many questions.

Great tune that just popped up on a playlist here...

Stevie Wonder - Ngiculela-Es Una Historia-I Am Singing (1976)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Ngiculela ikusasa
Ngiyacula ngo thando
Ngicula ngelinyi langa
Uthando luyobusa
Jikelele kulomhlaba wethu

Es una historia de mañana
Es una historia de amor
Es una historia que amor reinar
Por nuestro mundo
Es una historia de mi corazn

There's songs to make you smile
There's songs to make you sad
But with a happy song to sing
It never seems as bad
To me came this melody
So I've tried to put in words how I feel
Tomorrow will be for you and me

I am singing of tomorrow
I am singing of love
I am singing someday love will reign
Throughout this world of ours
I am singing of love from my heart

Let's all sing someday sweet love will reign
Throughout this world of ours
Let's start singing
Of love from our hearts
Let's start singing
Of love from our hearts

On topic,

I believe this is a massive mistake doing this interview.

I can only guess that internal polling is worse than what we are seeing.

She has consistently proven to be terrible off the cuff. Further, even on friendly outlets (which comprise all but maybe one of her interviews) she bombed easily anticipated and friendly worded basic questions. " ... ..I was born middle class ... ."

Baier is pretty good at this. She's only been pushed for one flip flop that I recall - her push to ban fracking. Her answer was a non answer. A ton of questions that she has yet to face are out there. An amateur could string them together and press her. Baier is a professional.

I don't see a strategic path where this doesn't go poorly for her.

Compare that to a candidate (Trump) who yesterday said he'd even use the military to go after journalists, critics, and Democrats.

Posse Comitatus notwithstanding. Not that Trump actually knows the Constitution or the Posse Comitatus Act that bars using the U.S. military against our own citizens.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

Yeah, I do look forward to the interview.

Now, when will fmr Pres Trump agree to do a sit-down with 60-Minutes?


Trump backs out of a '60 Minutes' prime-time interview, CBS says (October 1, 2024)
www.npr.org

... The CBS news program 60 Minutes announced on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump has backed out of an interview he had agreed to do as part of its prime-time election special next week.

"For over half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls," the newsmagazine posted on X. "This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes."

It went on to say that "after initially accepting 60 Minutes' request for an interview" with Scott Pelley, Trump's campaign "has decided not to participate." ...

More likely because he couldn't afford to get his ass handed to him again by Kamala Harris.

Trump made the 60 Minutes interview contingent on 60 Minutes apologizing for the lie they told last cycle about the Hunter laptop. Seems something completely normal to me. If the 'factchecker' was clearly lying in their last interview, it should be standard procedure to start the next interview with a correction for that error.

Harris displays the kind of knowledge, poise, self-control, intelligence, and mastery of a discussion and makes her ideal for the job.

Trump makes up for his shortcomings in those departments because his accolytes believe that somewhere under the clown suits, rubber diapers, and blown mind there is the tiniest thing they stupidly believes makes that pancake streaked clown *manly* and that would be some appendage they can think of as a penis.

What a bunch.

Harris will win by 7 points in just 3 weeks. Yes, she will squash the "alpha male" who wears makeup, colors his fake transplanted hair, wears diapers, spray tans, and whines like a baby every single hour of every single day. He is 0% Alpha and such a weak individual. When you have to lie non stop, cheat non stop and manipulate your base while fleecing them you are about as far from a strong man as you can be. He's more like wimpy from the old PopEye cartoons. A dope. When he loses he will cry "rigged" because the GOP has been sharing fake polls for the last week showing he is ahead, when he is not even close. Harris will wipe the floor with trump and it will all be over here soon, well, she will win and after his baby tantrum and trying to incite violence again he will eventually crawl back to his golden toilet, cry like the baby he is and fear for his future, as he should. Going to be so much fun, these next fee weeks.

Conspiracy theories like Trump is a Russian agent?
...like the Hunter laptop is fake?
...like the Ashley Biden diary is fake?
...like that Trump told people to inject bleach?
...like Trump said the Charlottesville Nazi was fine people?
...like Obama did not lie to the FISA court to spy on Trump's campaign?
...like Biden is sharp as a tack?

You mean those types of conspiracies? Because despite each one of those being debunked YEARS ago, I still see them spouted as true on trash tabloid channels like MSNBC weekly if not daily.

You don't understand the Left. When AOC says "There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right" - they mean what she says. For them, the "truth" does not need to align with actual FACTS as long as it feels right and you can walk around wrapped in a moral superiority cloak impervious to the ACTUAL FACTS that make you look like a douche.

Well, you shouldn't if your goal is to simply lie and then pound on table and cry louder when confronted on the lie. However, if you are an adult that is actually interested in an honest discussion, you will either admit that those were all 'fake news' and the Democrats (including Kamala as recently as the last debate and MSNBC as part of their regular programing) should stop stating them as they are clearly false, or provide actual evidence that they are true. So, it depends on you and your next reply (or lack thereof) will clearly show us your intentions.

Oh, here we go! Another episode of 'I'm Right, You're Wrong'"a classic hit. You ever notice how the people yelling the loudest about 'honest discussions' are usually the ones who wouldn't know an honest discussion if it walked up and slapped them in the face? It's always the same: 'Admit you're wrong, or I'll keep screaming until my brain explodes!' Look, if your whole point depends on what some politician or news anchor said during a debate, you've already lost. And by the way, next time you want evidence, try starting with your own facts instead of waiting for someone else to spoon-feed it to you. Now, everybody relax and maybe try thinking for once"if that's still legal in this country!
