I do appreciate Dingell handing Tur her ass with that statement.
at the same time I'd be interested to know how Tur responded.

wait. never mind

Betcha Tur simply continued with the same smarmy script and tone.

is due to the fact that she was (is) a Phish Head, who would always do a year-ending wrap-up of stories combing the story and lyrics/song titles of Phish songs. I saw one, it had to be seen to be believed, basically talking in a circular riddle

Remember Katy Tur made the indefensible statement last week that Trump appeared to be humbled at the convention.

None of his ravings over the weekend after the Biden's announcement proves that statement.

Malignant narcissists rarely change without therapy.

Sometimes, in therapy, malignant narcissist will tell the psychotherapist what the narcissist feels the doctor wants to hear.

Has Stockholm’s syndrome

Have you seen how Mr. Trump imprisons the press and gets his crowds to taunt and threaten them?

What does that kind of abuse do to a person who experiences it on a daily basis?

I was shocked the press did not boycott his campaign back in 2016 when he aimed his most unhinged followers in their direction.

What our press is most lacking in is a spine. I think so many media types took such glee in baselessly attacking Joe Biden’s cognition precisely because they are so constantly bullied by Mr. Trump and his devotees that they have actually become mini bullies themselves.

You can watch this happen on a playground when a bully is not promptly stopped if you are so inclined.

If the press doesn’t learn to stand up to their bully, we need to learn to tune their fearful bullying on democrats out. That way when the gop throws their ear worms at the Vice President we will not be so susceptible to piling on.

We are scared I know. I am too. More reason to be vigilant always. If a Republican trumpie says it we won’t repeat it. We won’t dwell on it or let it poison us.

…during that campaign season. IMO she earned her chair at MSNBC — but some people never liked her at all and now call her Katy Turd.

Thank you for your observations — I agree. And I am by now getting disappointed with her. She had such potential.

Survival of the Republic and basic sanity be damned. Much of the American press are slippery, spineless parasites who's only purpose is to enrich themselves. In that way, many of them identify with Trump.

Mitchell and Tur were scuttling across the floor seeking negatives beyond those already scripted for them.

Disgusting.

But did he also date Ann Coulter? Maybe they just went to school together.

He must really need conflict in his relationships. Personal, professional, they all blow up spectacularly in the end.

Losing patience with these vapid "gotcha" fake journalists is the only rational response to their whataboutism. It's invarioably snide and dishonest. What I'm really waiting for is someone to turn the tables thoroughly on Tur or another of her ilk.

Representative Dingell! Many more politicians need to speak up and take Tur down a notch or two. I quit watching Tur and MSNBC a couple years ago. Tur was one of the reasons I quit watching MSNBC.

I know who she is but that annoys the shit out of them....the blabbering heads that is....who?! Because their primary purpose is to admire their own bubble head on the Tee Vee, accomplish NOTHING of any real substance and get a big check for the lack of good sense and effort. In short, parasites. I think the American press needs a good deworming.
