Good. Dems should engage hostile media more, Pete Buttigieg gives masterclasses on how to do it. Not everyone can be that good but shining a light in the darkness is important. Ignoring it just lets it fester.
Nothing could top John Stewart on The No Spin Zone.

But yes, he was amazing on that show.
Walz has been going on Fox News as a progressive for the better part of a decade. This isn’t new for him. He does a good job on there, too.
Fuck the centrist media that considers that debate a flub - he did excellent.
He certainly seemed awkward in the first couple minutes, but I’m not sure what the big deal would be outside of that.
That thing about when he was in China was a shitshow from top to bottom. I had never even heard of the “controversy” so it was probably some bullshit the moderators threw in to appease the conspiracy lunatics and appear balanced. Then his answer was a bunch of nothing and flailing around. I don’t think he even answered it. The closest he got was “that’s what I said” and didn’t address the accuracy of the statement or an explanation in his answer. And then he stopped with a few seconds left in his allotted time and froze up and stammered for the rest of it.
Tim Walz is, by all appearances, a stand up guy and smart as a tack. But that isn’t really what drives these debates. If they were won and lost on the merits, no Republican would have been elected in my lifetime. But they’re not about substance and by pretty much every measure that answer and interaction was a doozy of a loser.
But that was the only answer that he flubbed like that, so the night wasn’t a total disaster for Walz. It just wasn’t a win.
The fact that you got downvotes for this just shows how out of touch so many Lemmy users are. This is like the third time I’ve seen comments like yours take a hit because of the aversion to truth around here.
the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s first solo on-air conversation since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Pretty sure he’s had plenty of solo conversations before this.
Honestly, if they can’t even get the basics right in the first paragraph I’m not going to continue reading.
Yes, before this:
since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Did he talk about his plan to expand isisrael?
Which plan would that be?
