They are really down on the Waltz performance and seem to be praising Vance in the post show.

(25,071 posts)One can watch political events without going through the corporate channels.
Of course, we watched the debate, too. Just not on MSM.

(5,156 posts)since the price for it is now similar to what a monthly car payment was, in my early adulthood....
Actually I watched it on "Scripps News", which is a digital broadcast "sub-channel"--

(1,550 posts)I personally toss msnbc and fox. Same reason different sides. MSNBC is always going left. Fox will always be right. Im not decided on cnn anymore.

(2,248 posts)That's how these things are scored typically ... fair or not.
It's a big reason Trump has lost literally every presidential debate he's partaken in (outside one: the Biden debate earlier this summer and that was more Biden losing than Trump winning).

(2,248 posts)Harris mopped the floor with Trump and it barely registered in the polls. It was the same with Clinton in 2016.
People said, "yup, Harris won the debate ... but I'm still supporting Trump."
I think people put way too much stock in debates.

(8,617 posts)dazzled by bullshit, especially when bullshit is pulled off in slick fashion.
Vance refused to answer a number of questions, told outright factual lies, distorted Trump's record including attempts at ending the ACA, peacefully transitioning power, banning all abortions, etc.
But that snakeoil salesman allure SHOULD'VE smacked em in their frekin mugs the moment he refused to admit that the orange fuck LOST THE ELECTION.
Which apparently doesn't matter that much to some MSM quacks, as much as how smoothly one pulls off the CON.
Which, incidentally, is precisely why/how we're dealing with a wanna be dictator in the FIRST place.
