You’re accusing me of lying?

I said Harris and Walz did great. It was a criticism of Bash.

Bash totally embarrassed and discredited herself during last night's interview [View all] SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 OP

same old tired limp GOP criticisms.... we're done with it! LymphocyteLover Aug 2024 #1

Why should we cast any negative on the interview? arlyellowdog Aug 2024 #2

Kamala and Tim were great! CNN not so much! LymphocyteLover Aug 2024 #3

Excellent article MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #29

Yes, agreed. I only saw a few snips last night. Didn't want to sit through the whole thing. I know they would do great. LymphocyteLover Aug 2024 #90

So you only read the headline SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #5

Relax.... FarPoint Aug 2024 #12

How am I not being kind? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #13

No. Let's not..Dana Bash was sent to spew the GOP lies and trip Kamala up. She is no journalist. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #62

I'm sorry, but kcr Aug 2024 #16

EXACTLY!!!!! arlyellowdog Aug 2024 #18

Then don't just read the headline SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #21

Maybe you should read kcr Aug 2024 #25

Why? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #86

I see the point though.... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #19

Well maybe they should SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #23

True SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #89

But i think you're ignoring that most people presumably do NOT click every single headline that appears on DU... thesquanderer Aug 2024 #40

Which is why I corrected the Headline SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #117

Yeah, I get that, if your priority is adjusting people's chat room habits... Think. Again. Aug 2024 #54

But these days SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #60

Good point. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #73

The article... 2naSalit Aug 2024 #7

I hate posts with pronouns not names. Srkdqltr Aug 2024 #78

Headline not good pattyloutwo Aug 2024 #94

There was nothing wrong with the interview last night. Bash did her job, and VP Harris did well. What exactly JohnSJ Aug 2024 #4

Asking questions based on bs talking points SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #9

I disagree. That crap is out there, and to ignore it is giving ammunition to it. VP Harris not only answered JohnSJ Aug 2024 #14

No is doesn't SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #17

Sorry, you don't push back on it, it becomes true. That is the old nazi tactic, say a false statement enough, JohnSJ Aug 2024 #26

You're conflating two different things SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #31

Are they legitimizing? cab67 Aug 2024 #39

Fair enough SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #49

I see it as legitimizing happy feet Aug 2024 #83

Sorry, we disagree. I am glad those things were brought up, and VP Harris had the opportunity to push back on them. JohnSJ Aug 2024 #43

I agree, Harris and Walz did great SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #58

I call the presstitutes BattleRow Aug 2024 #93

Presstitutes, a new word for me. It's perfect to describe most in msm - thanks. c-rational Aug 2024 #105

Yw BattleRow Aug 2024 #110

The media has just as big an obligation to push back on lies as the Dem candidate senseandsensibility Aug 2024 #136

Dana Bash Legitimized the lies Trump spews...making Kamala play on his terms...fuck her (Dana). I would see her Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #64

She didn't legitimize anything because VP Harris did an excellent job of answering the questions. It appears that JohnSJ Aug 2024 #74

It's out there bc tsf says it and the legacy press puts it out there. Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #33

sometimes, it's important to address a lie. cab67 Aug 2024 #42

That is what the GOP wants for us to play defense on their field. NO and no. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #67

I really do see your point. cab67 Aug 2024 #80

And she has unlimited other venues to use Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #95

Are you kidding? Democrats rarely answer their lies. President Obama was an exception to that. JohnSJ Aug 2024 #46

The mistake Democrats have made is letting the lies Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #101

A great interview happy feet Aug 2024 #87

People also need to stop infantilizing our candidates. TheProle Aug 2024 #91

No Bash's job is the truth SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #96

Spreading maga shit is not Bash "doing her job." Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #103

I'm glad our candidate is more resilient and capable TheProle Aug 2024 #104

That's nice. Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #108

The majority of her questions were basically just framing of republican attacks Blue_Adept Aug 2024 #10

She not only addressed the republican talking points, but she talked policy and contrasted herself with trump and JohnSJ Aug 2024 #22

IOW BattleRow Aug 2024 #98

Yes I agree Playingmantis Aug 2024 #53

and not only that, it provided the opportunity for her to contrast herself with them, which she did JohnSJ Aug 2024 #55

I dont know what the others here expect.. Playingmantis Aug 2024 #56

We don't want to be Trump ask our candidates anything arlyellowdog Aug 2024 #6

Her questions were the questions that people have PCIntern Aug 2024 #8

You really think people have questions SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #11

MSNBC found a black voter in North Carolina who was completely unaware she identified as black Blue_Adept Aug 2024 #15

There was no question that guy was a MAGA plant. Everyone here in Northern California knew VP Harris was JohnSJ Aug 2024 #51

Of course her race is not an issue... PCIntern Aug 2024 #24

So you support the corporate media SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #27

You know... PCIntern Aug 2024 #38

I'm just an average American SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #44

If you're gonna convert GOPers, PCIntern Aug 2024 #48

You really think Harris is going to convert GOPers SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #72

+++. Almost as good as "when did you stop beating your wife? JohnSJ Aug 2024 #52

The answer to that is: PCIntern Aug 2024 #59

LOL. Now that is funny. JohnSJ Aug 2024 #61

Bash didn't ask about her race. She asked about Trump trying to use it. muriel_volestrangler Aug 2024 #57

Harris gave the perfect answer SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #65

So asking about the weird things that Trump does is off-limits? muriel_volestrangler Aug 2024 #69

Asking questions based on Trump's BS accusations should be off limits SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #84

It was not a serious question. Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #107

I agree with the translation, but I don't see why that is "not a serious question" muriel_volestrangler Aug 2024 #119

You find that a serious, substantive question? Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #122

Because it could be answered muriel_volestrangler Aug 2024 #129

All those answers have been given about tsf Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #131

When it's said by the candidate, in a format undecided voters are more likely to hear muriel_volestrangler Aug 2024 #134

We'll have to agree to disagree. Scrivener7 Aug 2024 #135

Absolutely. Kerry messed up royally by not pushing back on the swift boat ads. Are people's memories that JohnSJ Aug 2024 #30

The strategy was working though jujubeets Aug 2024 #20

This is called gaslighting, let me girlsplain it for you arlyellowdog Aug 2024 #28

Gaslighting is lying SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #32

No, but saying, "but I said they did great," that's kind of part of it. arlyellowdog Aug 2024 #81

How so? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #85

All that matters is how Harris and Walz did Kaleva Aug 2024 #34

Her ex is BattleRow Aug 2024 #116

Yes, but they weren't a couple PatSeg Aug 2024 #125

Echoing my sentiments exactly. BattleRow Aug 2024 #139

Ah, I had a feeling it was something like that PatSeg Aug 2024 #123

Her true test would be a Trump interview ramapo Aug 2024 #50

Actually we did see at the debate SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #68

Yeah, a better question would be to ask about the first 100 days Shermann Aug 2024 #102

Because of the legal doctrine of shareholder primacy, Bash is obligated to generate profits for PatrickforB Aug 2024 #71

The interview I watched had decent questions and the responses were excellent. The best part, was Bash/CNN showcasing Silent Type Aug 2024 #88

A good headline informs the reader who "she" is. Otherwise, it's clickbait. n/t elocs Aug 2024 #92

The clickbait version uses caps and punctuation to make it more hyperbolic Shermann Aug 2024 #97

Fair enough SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #99
