Katy Tur and Charlie Dent (R)

[senseandsensibility]

Tur asked Dent if Harris should debate cheato with Brett Baier on FAUX to do a debate on "his terms" and strongly implied that Baier would be fair. Of course, Dent agreed that Harris should go for it and gushed over how "fair" Baier" would be.

Don't do it, Madame Vice President. Something tells me that these two (and the rest of the corporate media) don't have your best interests at heart. And the fact that FAUX was fined millions for trying to help steal the last election tells me that there is NO WAY they deserve to host a debate.

Weird and suspicious that Tur is schilling for FAUX if you ask me.

1. I'm still pissed off that Obama gave them two interviews. The interviewers game plan was to constantly interrupt and

disrespect him to please their racist audience.

[senseandsensibility]

4. Thank god I never considered watching those

interviews with Obama. Actually, I have never voluntarily watched FAUX in my entire life.

10. If I remember right the second was with Billdo O'Reilly. A Superbowl interview. He was out of line. No one did that

to a republican president on Superbowl Sunday.

18. Correction: Dildo O'Reilly

[Happy Hoosier]

2. Faux News argued IN COURT that they are not a news network.

There is no way Harris should debate Trump on a channel that has argued that it is not to be taken seriously as a news source.

15. Debunked myth.

Fox argued that a case alleging that a commentary by Tucker Carlson defamed Karen McDougal by asserting she had "attempted to extort" should be dismissed because, read in context, his statements were constitutionally protected opinion commentary on matters of public importance and are not reasonably understood as being factual. The court agreed that “given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statements he makes” and that “this overheated rhetoric is precisely the kind of pitched commentary that one expects when tuning in to talk shows like Tucker Carlson Tonight, with pundits debating the latest political controversies....The Court concludes that the statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation..."

In other words, it was a narrow argument resulting in a narrow ruling applicable specifically to Carlson. Fox did not, and has not, argued that they are "not a news network." Indeed, the decision wasn't particularly controversial -- MSNBC made a similar argument in successfully defending a case brought by One America News claiming it had been defamed by Rachel Maddow stating that OANNwas "really literally is paid Russian propaganda." The judge -- an Obama appointee -- ruled that Maddow's statement "is an opinion that cannot serve as the basis for a defamation claim," and thus is protected under the First Amendment, adding that for Maddow to exaggerate the facts and call OAN Russian propaganda "was consistent with her tone up to that point, and the court finds a reasonable viewer would not take the statement as factual given this context."

7. TY!

5. Agreed. Why debate someone to decide whether to debate someone?

They're getting stupider and stupider on the right.

6. What a strange request.

Does she think Trump should go on MSNBC and "debate" Lawrence O'Donnell?

[senseandsensibility]

9. Sorry, I think my wording was a little unclear

so I fixed it. She wanted Harris to debate cheato with Baier as the supposedly "fair" moderator.

[LisaM]

16. Oh, okay, that makes more sense!

I was picturing Trump having debates with all kinds of people who would wipe the floor with him!

[FakeNoose]

8. Kamala should do a debate with Charlie Sykes

That's something I would watch. I'll never turn on Faux Noise though.

[OLDMDDEM]

11. It was Charlie Dent.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Fixed it

I have to admit that I have always confused Charlie Sykes, Charlie Dent, and David Jolly. But out of the three, I actually like Jolly.

13. Katie Turd is rotten to the core. Msnbc should fire her

[Rebl2]

14. She's

Auditioning. I wish she would just quit msnbc.

[kimbutgar]

17. My thought exactly

She should admit she a right winger and go over to Fox.

Her old boyfriend Keith Olbermann said she’s the type of woman who’d sell her soul to the highest bidder.

[kentuck]

19. You may be right.

Her position at MSNBC may not be that secure. She could work at FOX.
