Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsKaty Tur just assured Jon Ralston that
cheato's rants play much better when you're live in the crowd with him than they do on TV. This was just after they showed his demented rant about sharks and Jon pointed out that even the crowd wasn't listening and couldn't follow it. There was a video showing them behind him talking among themselves and turning around looking behind them as he went on and on about sharks.
But according to Katy, you can't trust Jon's judgement that it was completely bonkers and nonsensical, nor the video that shows a bored and inattentive crowd in real time. No, according to her, that is unfair to cheato. If you could just see him live like she got to do, you would get how gripping he really is!!!!
Pathetic.

Fox knows TSF is losing it.

(24,973 posts)I am torn between thinking that she is trying to maintain access to cheato and just plain ego about being an "insider" of the cheato 2016 campaign as motives for her recent rush to defend him at every turn.

... could I please be your second term head press secretary ? How much will that pay, Sir,... $175.000.00 ? I am capable of being blindly loyal, Sir. I know how your ego appreciates that, but I would never expect that courtesy in return.
I'll steam press your trousers while you wear them Sir, does that idea spark your fancy, Sir ? I promise to try my best not to burn your tender privates with the hot steam/wrinkle machine.
Jeez,.. Katy Tur must really want a job with team trDUMP, she's now sitting in his lap on TV while giving him a prime time interview.
Isn't that a conflict of common sense or something ?
Quick, get the Honorable Judge Alito on the phone, he is so well versed in these matters.

I know she covered him in 2016, back when his shtick was fresh and the crowds more enthusiastic.
But this is not 2016 and he's long past his shelf life. I doubt the crowds today are like they were 8 years ago.

(21,163 posts)According to Wikepedia she had a relationship with Keith Olberman and Trump didn't seem to like her much when she covered him in 2016. (my Words).
'From 2006 to 2009, Tur was in a relationship with then-MSNBC political commentator and sportscaster Keith Olbermann.[10] Tur married Tony Dokoupil, a correspondent for CBS News, on October 27, 2017, in Utah.[24][25] Together they have a son, born in April 2019,[26] and a daughter, born in May 2021.[27] She also has two stepchildren from Dokoupil's first marriage.[2..'

(4,555 posts)the lowly and untalented Chris Jansing had with pollster Cornell Belcher not too long ago. Jansing was drumming up the drama over Biden's poll #s and Belcher reminded her that Reagan had been written off going into the 1984 election when his campaign came up with that Morning in America ad crap. And we know how things turned out. His message was that campaign messaging is important and can change people's outlook. Jansing dug in with "BUT YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE HOW THEY FEEL."
Face in palm.

(24,973 posts)was played in real time on the screen as she spoke. The male reporter who said the crowd was bored and it didn't play well even with them was correct. It did not play differently. They were very obviously bored and not listening. If she wants to reminisce about 2016, she should do that as part of a story about how he has regressed, which is a real story. Instead, she tried to say that people who were there LIVE yesterday were into what he was talking about. They simply were not, according to actual video and several reputable reporters on MSNBC and elsewhere. I did not misrepresent anything. She did.

senseandsensibility
(24,973 posts)They were talking to each other, turning all the way around in their seats, staring blankly. Absolutely no sign of interest or appreciation or even attention. Many of them left early. So whatever he's doing, it's not working.
