(8,200 posts)It is well to remember that some can be bought to betray just as Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Even he was repulsed by what he had done and hung himself. Some lack even that scrap of decency left in their soul. It is beyond my comprehension how people who have seen their fellow mankind selected for oppression be so blind to the reality. How can they turn a blind eye to years of brutal suppression, lynching and continued voter suppression that denies them their guaranteed rights? How do you comprehend a man that praises those who continue to brutally oppress?

(81,085 posts)The folks anchoring on the weekends are among those warming up in the bullpen, as it were, for the big Monday-thru-Friday slots. Theyre the vacation relief, fill-ins when one of the bigger names is ailing or out on assignment.
Interesting to see whos being assembled in this group. Theyre pulling from frequent interview guests who have already shown that they do well on camera.
Makes sense to me. And she stood her ground against this republi-CON motormouth and dominated. Wouldnt let him keep stuffing her or trying to talk her down.
Too many interviewers back down and let the motormouths keep talking. But you can wait like that for an hour with some of these assholes, for them to pause or even stop just to take a breath. Its an interview strategy Ive observed for awhile by now.
These assholes have been coached to keep talking keep talking. Keep talking! Keeptalkingkeeptalkingkeeptalkingkeeptalkingkeeptalking. Dont let the interviewer take control. Keep talking. Its like being in a sparring match. Keep jabbing keep jabbing. Dont stop. Dont let up. Keep stuffing your opponent. Keep em busy. Keep stuffing.
Next time Kellyanne Conjob gets in front of the camera, just watch. Shes a master at it. She strings 157 sentences together in one big long run-on sentence without taking a breath or stopping after she think shes made her point. She slides through whole arguments and several different issues in a single run-on sentence - deliberately and specifically to keep you, the interviewer (or critic) from breaking in to challenge or ask the next question. She literally makes it so that you cant get a word in edgewise. She drowns you in blabbermouthing so you dont even know (or remember) what point you wanted to debate or refute. SHE runs that discussion because this big long wall of words just blocks you out. Youre overwhelmed.
trump does that, too. Just note all his run-on sentences. Lots of sales pitch. All running together in a tidal wave to wash you out and wash you away. The mouth keeps moving. The flood of words keeps pumping and gushing, relentlessly and overwhelmingly.
Interesting verbal battle tactic. It parallels what trump does with his actions. The drinking out of a firehose thing. Youre overwhelmed by a 50-foot tidal wave of words. Flooded by a roaring tsunami. And many opponents just give up. Youre left in a position in which you dont know WHAT to respond to. Which argument, in that gushing hemorrhage of verbiage, to rebut. Because you missed your stop, three miles ago. Its like trying to board a commuter train that does not stop to give you time to get onboard.
Its a tactic. Its a strategy. Its DELIBERATE.
And Tiffany Cross wasnt having it. That guy tried to keep talking. And as he did, she attempted to butt in, and when he wouldnt stop, SHE wouldnt give up and cede any ground to the filibuster. SHE kept talking. And talking OVER him. And it was SHE who didnt let up. And she kept at it til HE gave up and stopped talking.
She wasnt giving up any ground.
I was watching this and coaching from the stands: keep going! Keep going! Talk OVER him. Get LOUDER. DO. NOT. STOP! Dont give an inch! Not a second! DONT give up the mic! DONT let him run on.
And she outlasted him, and refused to give in or cede ground or let him dominate. SHE overwhelmed HIM.
Great choice! And her finishing take as she cut to commercial was a brief gesture of gagging reflex.
BEAUTY!!!!!

PatSeg
(47,239 posts)and she make some outstanding points, but I really don't like this style of interviewing. Too much talking over the guest, a guest who was probably invited on just to create such a moment. Joy Reid used to do the same thing and even invited the same fools on over and over again. That is one of the reasons I quit watching her show. Too often it started to cross over into Jerry Spring territory.
I really like her, but I don't like these sort of gimmicks, often meant to get a clip on social media and boost ratings. I hope she doesn't make a habit of it. It is pointless and nonproductive.

(53,730 posts)lies without correcting them I commend Tiffany Cross for not allowing that trump sycophant to do that. Journalist owe it to the public to not allow lies to go unchallenged.
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)Their plan is to filibuster and pack as many lies into a paragraph as possible. If an interviewer waits patiently and politely for them to get to the end of their "answer," it is virtually impossible to fact check and counter the stream of lies they just spewed. They have to be interrupted and their strategy disrupted. Otherwise, they will manipulate the interviewer's politeness into a vehicle to advance their lies and the interviewer actually becomes complicit in the propaganda.
She did EXACTLY what needs to be done when interviewing someone like this.
PatSeg
(47,239 posts)I remember the first time I saw Joy Reid do that with a weird Trump surrogate and I was initially impressed, but then she brought the guy back several times and did the same thing. It was too much like a scripted routine and actually served no purpose other than to get clips on social media.
This guy was certainly a horrible guest, but I'm quite sure that Tiffany and the show knew that in advance. Most shows wouldn't have even bothered to invite him. Once again, it was a gimmick, not a serious interview, meant to elicit emotional responses from viewers and probably meant to be an audition for Tiffany Cross for that time slot.
Cross is really sharp. She had some great questions and excellent fact checking. I just don't like this style of interviewing. I've seen it too many times in the past and it reeks of a scripted ambush.

(6,915 posts)Yeah, orange-vi-Ru$-$ia wanted to create more opportunities for POC but he ignored the pandemic, thus he FAILED and not just for the POC. But don't try to make them (him) understand the fact that there is NO ECONOMY in a ignored pandemic.
Stop inviting these DELUSIONAL FACTS deniers plz. They drank the Kool-Aid: Nobody cares what propaganda they want to spread.
