Thanks to DUers for reporting on Voldemort's speech.

I just bought a new TV and didn’t want to throw anything at it. Sounds like it was terrible.

Now, will the media report that or give him a pass because all his speeches are terrible?

ABC:
They fact checked it and it didn't
The unity thing didn't happen
Very short on policy
Said it sounded more like a typical stump speech

Their main story is more crap about what Joe’s “Top Advisors” are supposedly thinking, not the RNC Convention and official nomination– which any sane person would expect to see in the news right now. The convention piece is squished into a tiny column less than half the size of their GIANT, stupid headline story. Barely noticeable in comparison.


So, Imma go with “give him a pass.”
Ugh.
