CNN compares Kamala Harris to GoT's Daenerys Targaryen

[RandySF]

From the first time people heard of them, they saw the potential. And to date, both have lived up to the hype. But there are lingering concerns -- and fears -- about whether they represent too much change for a staid world.

2. another reason

not too watch network "news" channels,,, actually maybe CNN knew what Dany did on GOT tonight and it was a hit piece? CNN is as much entertainment biz as FAUX news,,,,, so sad

3. They might regret that one. nt

4. Good grief

6. Aren't we the folks that don't relate our politics to fictional TV?

We ridicule the radcons for treating '24' like it was reality, so we need to cool it over stuff like this (and West Wing, however good it made us feel).

7. Did Cillizza take one more stupid pill than usual?

8. Poor CNN, ratings so low, so desperate to stay relevant. n/t

9. I can't be the only one who doesn't watch this show and on whom

This comparison is totally lost.

10. You're not alone

It doesn't mean anything to me either. (And I'm fine with that!)

11. Never seen it.

A lot of people seem to spend a lot of time watching TV.

13. I have never watched it, but it is hard to avoid several write ups a day about what

happened in the last episode. That is how I found out Daenerys went on a murderfest and will likely get killed in the final episode (the betting in on Arya Starke to do the killing). The summaries talk about too much violence for my tastes, I like philosophical movies that cover the struggle of good against evil, without lots of unseemly characters that GOT seem to have.

14. I have never watched a second.

But I know some of the characters because it is hard to avoid news feeds about the series. It is quite a cultural phenomenon along the lines of Star Wars or The Lord of the Ring. There are blogs that are devoted to breaking down each episode and what the most minute scene means, I was astounded to find that out yesterday (although I should have guess given by how much news print the series gets).

12. I hope not.

Daenerys went apeshit, killing everything in sight with her dragon Drogon in the last episode.
