There’s a thing Scott Adams talks about: “one screen; two movies”. By which he means that the same thing is viewed two opposite ways by different people. And so it is with the 18-minute CNN interview of Kamala Harris last night 30 August by CNN’s Dana Bash.
This as Kamala’s first interview in the 43 days (!) since the Gang of Four* took poor old Joe behind the shed and put him down (kindly), like Old Yeller, and she became the gloopy young puppy dog for president. The only time in presidential election history that the candidate has had zero primary votes.
On CNN, MSNBC, abc, they all think t was a “wonderful” interview, “presidential”, “she answered all the questions (!)”, she was “smooth and assured”. Listen to the likes of David Axelrod, Van Jones, Rachel Maddow say these things.
On the other side, plenty of conservatives on YT are not at all impressed.
One screen; two movies.
One of the best on the conservative side: Megyn Kelly. She herself was a moderator of a presidential debate: Trump v Hillary in 2016. Where she was tough on both. Always thoroughly prepared. Today she demolishes Dana Bash for fluffing this Kamala interview and “letting us all down”.
Problem is that liberals, Democrats, will only see one side of this movie. Only the people telling them that Kamala was “wonderful”. We know that because plenty of polling shows us liberals view only liberal media. Conservatives by contrast will see both movies; will watch and read not only conservative media (which is basically just Fox), but also view liberal media, like CNN, MSNBC, etc, because that’s such a huge chunk of the media landscape. It can’t be avoided.
Which is why, on this blog, I focus on the conservative views. Because there’s so much on the other side, the only balance is to show conservative views. And even then, of course, it’s nothing like the weight of what’s supporting the Dems.
================
*Gang of Four: Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, George Soros. (Not the Chinese G-4).
- Gutfeld has a funny take. Especially on Kamala’s TMI… And…with Tim Walz the emotional support animal, it’s not a grammar issue, as he claims. He’s lying.
- The Five on Fox, another conservative take.
- Greg Foreman calls it “disastrous”.
- "She's like the wolf who promises to be vegan if only the sheep will vote for him." Kennedy.
- It was a "train wreck".
- Tulsi Gabbard: "what we saw is what they've been trying to hide".
ADDED: As of today on CNN YouTube they have the interview chopped into 3 parts. In all they're ratio'd: 35k likes to 83K dislikes. And that's from the mostly Kamala-supporting CNN viewers. So: even they didn't like it. Lots of comments about how weak the questions were and why not release the whole transcript.
