Media fawning over Melania's speech

[Proud liberal 80]

Just because it was a bland speech that didn’t sound as crazy as other speakers at the convention and because she disingenuously talks about racial heeling. God I can’t stand the media, I will say for the millionth time, they are the reason Trump is President

[still_one]

1. It is ridiculous. She sounded like a robot, without expression. The media is so full of themselves

They hold these thugs to such a low standard, compared to the Democrats

That is what they have been doing for some time now, every since the phrase "liberal media" was used.

There are very few journalists anymore

[Sherman A1]

2. Makes no difference

If you don’t watch the cable noise. They can say whatever they need to say filling airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed. Don’t watch it and it’s no bother at all.

3. yes the US media had a big hand in getting trump Rigged

into the WH.. plenty of others have blood on their hands too.

The media is our enemy.. they're so gd lazy and manipulative.

4. My wife agrees it was a good speech...so does her mother.

From a political perspective, it was jarring because it was so out of place with everything else, but it WAS a good speech; it presented empathy both for COVID and racial justice and took a personal rather than political tone.

6. But

it presented empathy both for COVID and racial justice and took a personal rather than political tone.

But heres the thing, she doesn’t really give a shit.

[brooklynite]

8. Consider that you weren't the target audience.

[Proud liberal 80]

9. So basically the target audience is gullible

[brooklynite]

14. The target audience is unengaged in politics.

They don't hang out on political blogs.

They don't watch cable news every night.

They DO vote.

[BKDem]

23. It's all a fucking lie.

She doesn't give a shit.

He doesn't give a shit.

And neither has any problem lying about it.

But what else can they do? Tell the truth? That's not an option.

[NCDem47]

7. It was all platitudes.

It's not backed up AT ALL by anything she or her husband's administartion has done, is doing or will likely do.

[NewJeffCT]

18. If you were in a coma the last 12 years

and woke up a few hours before & saw Melania's speech, you would think it was pretty good. However, she is a racist Birther and is married to the world's biggest liar, baby and bully. So, it's all about context.

[lark]

19. They saw an actress, that is all.

[USALiberal]

22. I agree with you, compared to the other speeches it was great. nt

[Hugin]

5. They think they need their horse race.

When the real story is how thoroughly the Crockwork Orange is getting his ample buttocks kicked.

They always only see the real story in the rear view mirror.

It's intellectual laziness.

[madaboutharry]

10. FWIW, Joe Scarborugh just said it was shameful.

He said she had no standing to lecture Americans about gossip and social media, calling out Trump's malignant and cruel use of social media to hurt people.

[Proud liberal 80]

12. Good for him

And that’s how the rest of the MSM should be doing it....

[Cha]

25. Thank You! lol I agree with JS.. & Disagree with those who didn't really

listen to all her words & think "it's a great speech".. Just No.

Just giving her cover for all the Gaslighting Shit that went down.

There was something about online bullying that she was taking on as a pet project awhile back when her "husband" is the biggest gd online Bully alive.

[gordianot]

11. Her speech hit a few empathetic notes but still there were major problems.

Holding it in the premises of the White House grounds was just wrong. Besides that the Rose Garden is just plain ugly.

[Atticus]

13. Well, she didn't scream, mispronounce names, plagiarize or say "fuck", so------ nt

[snowybirdie]

15. It was terrible

Disjointed talking points with no depth of analysis or solutions at all. She coldly read it with no desire to connect with the people. Went on too long and her accent was distracting. Audience were not distancing nor wearing masks. The big long walk down the corridor looked way too staged, and her outfit was downright ugly. Poopy brown, military style. But other than that, she didn't trip or faint.

[bdamomma]

16. not wearing masks????

how many of them will contract Covid???

17. Melania reminds me of the robot Alicia in that Twilight Zone episode

She's just a pretend human.

Actually, apologies to Alicia who was better at it.

[zeusdogmom]

20. I watched it

She read the teleprompter well, it didn't seemed to be plagerized. But so bland - have no memory of what she said - and no I wasn't drinking. 😁. I was somewhat distracted by her costume - a sad design with poor fabric choice. Wait - I do remember she said - she wanted a career in the fashion world. Easy to see why that didn't work out especially well.... no fashion sense. As my grandma used to say - can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

We should probably move forward to something of substance. Melanie's forced blatherings are not worth the energy. We need to focus everything on beating Trump like a drum in November. And making sure the House and Senate are solidly in the D column.

Stay safe everyone. Lots of ugly stuff around us.

[USALiberal]

21. IMO she did a good job, not crazy or hateful. And some empathy. Best so far. nt

[Cha]

26. Yeah, that part about "trump being so honest" was just Bloody Fantastic.

[Cha]

27. Bullshit Gaslighter! oh yeah "great speech"
