Consisted of George asking the same fucking question 900 different ways because he wasn't getting the answers he wanted.
I think I may need a break.
It's the fucking Twilight Zone out there.

(26,912 posts)They have their favorites, which would be fine if they were honest about the information they put out but, they are so blatantly slanted and biased and thats not their job. They are to report the news after verifying the facts, not make the news to support their sponsors.

(90,010 posts)Sick of the attempted hatchet jobs. Sick of the media people who are all hungry to build a reputation as the giant killer.
Its just NOT called for, in this case, dammit! Or maybe George is secretly working for the donald?

(53,214 posts)I'll tune in next week when Lawrence is back on. I'm also avoiding the late night talk shows. I can't take any more stupid ageism jokes.
Hey, maybe I'll just give up on cable news until after the election.
Old movies and binge-worthy British television shows. Reruns of Cheers have really kept be grounded as well.

(22,456 posts)...and what was with the camera focus problems and bad audio?
I was watching on ABC's youtube channel, and we all know they understand a bit about how to adjust sound.
KS Toronado
(23,727 posts)Volume was so low I could barely understand Biden , George was low but understandable. Had to turn volume
way up more than I've ever had to for other programs, usually old movies, and then it had a grainy feel to it
for lack of a better term.
ABC has slowly been showing me they're not in Biden's camp and tonight's hit-job broke the camel's back.
And they host the last debate, maybe we need to renegotiate some terms since we now know the cards are
stacked against us.
Who else noticed volume problems?

(26,507 posts)George is afraid that if TCF wins - George will be put in front of a military tribunal like TCF wants to do with Liz Cheney.
So if George looks kinda like he challenged Biden - he maybe can talk his way out of the lock him up talk.

Thanks!

(17,984 posts)it's not sounding like a good idea. A preview of it at 5 p.m. did show the badgering, so it's sad to hear that's all there is.

(33,579 posts)Stephanapolous is an ass. I meet him in the 90's when I lived in Georgetown.
He was an egomaniac then as he is now. He's never been anything more than a "personality" posing as a reporter.
I didn't waste my time on his stupidity then or now.

(6,122 posts)To convince him to drop out, After the second time that Joe all but told him to buzz off, he should have moved on to different questions. It seems very likely that he did not prepare much more than a few questions designed to hound him into throwing up his hands saying .OK! I give in. Yall win. I quit!
Good for Joe for sticking to his guns. And good on him for taking the opportunity to outline his achievements and explain that THOSE achievements are why he believes he is the best guy to beat trump (again) and help the American people move forward toward more success and prosperity.

(22,645 posts)But then I think he added the explanatory comment that the US is the key player in the world, or something like that.
I got his point, and I do not think the statement hurt him.
Deek1935
(1,055 posts)Bettie
(19,702 posts)since he seems to only be able to ask one question over and over and over.
I mean, maybe he was forgetting that he had already asked that or he's just an asshole.
Something must be wrong with his memory.
Captain Zero

Biden is going to have to take the heat, appears willing to take the heat and from reviews I've read so far, handled the interview well.
