32. I don't need an interpretation. I get what he made it look like he was saying.

But he posted one flimsy "quote" with no sources. Not a one. That's not a quote. It's a figment of someone's imagination.

And one could read the bare sentence easily argue that it was a right-wing troll. Either way it was dumb.

And the MSM is not trying to elevate Kirk as anything. They are giving her news coverage. Unfortunately for all of us, she is a newsmaker at this point in time. I don't think her fame and glory will last more than a short time. Sure, the right-wing clowns at Fox and their friends will continue to speak of her, but you will see far less of her elsewhere than you are now.

Regarless of whether you think she's a kook or not, she's not an opportunistic grifter ToxMarz Dec 20 #17

You should re-read my OP edhopper Dec 20 #21

When I said "Regarless of whether you think she's a kook" I wasn't referring to the original poster ToxMarz Dec 20 #46

Thanks edhopper Dec 20 #53

OP wasn't saying AOC's a kook. Quite the opposite. OP was referencing her unfair and biased treatment by M$M vs Kirk n/t Cheezoholic Dec 20 #28

When I said "Regarless of whether you think she's a kook" I wasn't referring to the original poster ToxMarz Dec 20 #44

She most certainly is not the voice of a generation. milestogo Dec 20 #22

What is the source for that quote? Raven123 Dec 20 #23

You have a long wait because there is none. The OP just trolled it out of thin air. ificandream Dec 20 #34

It seems clear to me that it's describing the general gist of what the MSM is saying, rather than quoting anyone. Scrivener7 Dec 20 #38

Thank you edhopper Dec 20 #41

And apparently, general statements really piss them off. Which is ... very strange. Scrivener7 Dec 20 #45

Yeah edhopper Dec 20 #52

I'm sure FoxNews says that. Does MSNOW or CNN? LymphocyteLover Dec 20 #24

CBS is clearly throwing down the rose petals for Kirk. That's pretty mainstream. Scrivener7 Dec 20 #39

The Bari Weiss effect is evident. live love laugh Dec 20 #48

OP is NOT implying Kirk is wonderful. The OP is about the unfair treatment AOC gets in the M$M compared to Kirk Cheezoholic Dec 20 #29

I don't need an interpretation. I get what he made it look like he was saying. ificandream Dec 20 #32

Why does this anger you so much? The OP is obviously a general description of the current tenor of the news coverage Scrivener7 Dec 20 #47

Thank you edhopper Dec 20 #43
