radius777's JournalWhat's going on over at FOX?
C'mon now, at least try to be less transparent, makes it more fun.
You do know that FOX basically fed the Trump criminals info for 4 years? How 'bout them ethics? Lemon's ethical lapse (if one could call it that) is tiny in comparison.
ReidOut beats CNN in that timeslot.
20 The ReidOut with Joy Reid 1,154,000
27 Erin Burnett Outfront 720,000
CNN and MSNBC (and other networks) split the liberal audience - only reason FOX 'wins' in those slots. FOX also has a much less desirable audience (older, whiter more rural) as far as advertisers are concerned - compared to CNN and MSNBC.
White Lives Matter wing of American politics
that take a break from ironing their white robes to comment whenever topics like these come up.
The fact that Silverman singled out Reid as 'not doing straight news' when the 3 major cable networks in prime time all have opinion hosts after 4pm - tells you all you need to know.
Silverman has long been a racist, and is the classic entitled Karen who resents not being able to make jokes about non-whites like she used to. She only pretends to be liberal, has admitted as much that it is easier to 'get away' telling racist jokes if one is perceived as a liberal.
Silverman has always been a racist
and basically pretends to be liberal as a shield to make more offensive jokes.
But Fey is far from the only white woman whose career has operated this way. Sarah Silverman immediately comes to mind for her infamous I hate chinks bit on Late Night with Conan OBrien in 2001 and how she, to this day, still struggles to take full responsibility for her blackface sketch from 2007 despite rebranding as an informed, progressive voice.
If the shoe fits. Silverman is a racist snowflake
who can't cope with the type of hard hitting commentary on white America that Reid dishes out.
Whites are not the victims in America, no matter how much some want that narrative to be true.
Silverman is the typical Karen who is singling out Reid.
MSNBC's entire prime time lineup, starting from 4pm onwards are opinion/talking head shows, yet she singled out the only black person in that lineup. FOX and CNN also mostly do opinion shows in those time slots. That's what people want to see and what drives ratings. Read the AP or Reuters online, or watch before 4pm if you just want 'straight news'.
Reid, being an outspoken black woman, routinely gets attacked by fragile whites on the right and left... which tells me she's doing her job.
Cheap green energy is the solution to the world's problems,
it would greatly disempower these fossil fuel dictators. Hillary spoke about this in 2016, about making the US a 'green superpower', which is the way to frame the issue, in terms of national security and economic dominance.
That aside I think we should assemble a NATO force and station it inside Ukraine, which under no circumstances can be allowed to fall to Putin. It would be like allowing South Korea to fall to North Korea. Ukraine has its issues with corruption but they and their people want to be independent and democratic and it is sad they have to deal with this thug who won't leave them alone.
This is a fundamental flaw in conservative logic.
If you ever argue with them online or IRL, they have this delusion that the founding fathers and the founding documents somehow 'includes everyone' - they explicitly do not. The country was founded as a democracy for white male landowners - that was the intent.
Especially non-white and female conservatives - they'll argue on end about 'merit' and 'the Constitution' having given them their place in life. While ignoring (or having a blind spot to) the fact that the 'woke' movements (civil rights, women's rights etc) are the only real reason they have any rights at all.
There are many reasons for this trend.
The lockdowns hurt us with Latinos, many of whom didn't qualify for stimulus or unemployment, and can only survive if the economy is open.
The problem at the border, too much immigration (whether legal or illegal) directly affects Latinos here as they then have to compete with the new immigrants for jobs, housing etc. Biden is perceived as more liberal on immigration than Obama and Hillary was, who were more centrist on that issue and did far better with Latinos.
Crime is another major issue that Dem local officials (mayors, DA's, etc) are seen to be overly permissive of, and Latinos tend to be very family oriented and worry about crime.
Trump's strongman act works with many Latinos who come from countries with such leaders.
There is also alot of misinformation online which Dems fail to counteract. Our outreach to many of these communities (particularly in Florida and Texas) is poor.
There are also some Latinos who are more 'white identified' and don't like darker Latinos or black people.
True, but the same tired argument about rurals
has been made forever in countless books and articles over the past 20 years. Bullock is day late and a dollar short. Biden (son of small town Scranton) did campaign in small town America yet did about the same as Hillary with that voting bloc. A deeper analysis is needed to truly understand what message/policies would work and which voters are truly gettable, and how that would affect our current voters and swing voters we can actually get.
