Gemmill 44804 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 The start of the News Agents tonight. They play a clip of Harris on Anderson Cooper, agreeing that Trump is a fascist and saying that the people that have worked with him previously should be listened to and believe. Maitlis: what does this tell us about the state of the race? Sopel: it tells us that Kamala Harris still hasn't worked out how to land a blow on Donald Trump. I don't know how that is his interpretation, but there we have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a portion of lovely chips from the Great North chippy, only for Sopel to wander over, unzip himself, and micturate on them? Haven't heard this yet but to me it sounds like he's saying Trump is impervious to these types of attacks, which he does seem to be. I'll give you a full review later. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a full review later. 👍 Trump is a fan of Hitler, says "he did a lot of good things". He says he needs his generals to be more like Hitler's generals. His former Chief of Staff, a West Point graduate, has broken cover to go on the record with this information, describing Trump as a fascist. Harris says she agrees and that these people should be listened to. Sopel's interpretation: the Dems STILL aren't getting their messaging right. Later in the episode, Maitlis chuckles while she announces that "there's a story about him groping another young girl, and we're not even covering it because we've heard it all before." These are meant to be the cream of the crop of British journalists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giggling about a bloke molesting a child, and not covering it because it's not the first time is Piers Morgan territory - I mean she fucking literally made the nonce prince squirm for this exact thing - All because Trump would make a more interesting talking point as president. It's pretty fucking pathetic. In all honesty I don't even think Morgan would defend him if that video does come out, which makes her reaction all the worse.

These are meant to be the cream of the crop of British journalists. So I listened to it. For context, what Sopel meant in your initial complaint was that Harris's previous strategy of painting Trump as some weirdo (and by extension, relatively harmless) wasn't getting any cut through so now she is going for more direct attacks about how dangerous he is. I think that's probably a fair analysis. Maitlis didn't chuckle any more than her usual mannerisms. Again, she highlights the absurdity of the situation, that something that should be shocking news is now mundane. Again, I agree. Like literally everyone, the Newsagents occasionally irritate me but personally I like their US coverage. They're still a commercial platform designed to encourage traffic. But, there's so many other things to be angry about at the minute, the Newsagents aren't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44804 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Was unclear whether she was talking about the rumour or the published story about the young model from the 90s. I assumed the latter tbh, but given that they made the decision not to bother covering it, it was hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has seen this video though, and she's not interviewing the perpetrator of the alleged abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21567 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Just another normal day in American politics. "Dad comes home and he’s pissed. He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them … And when Dad gets home, you know what he says? You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl, and it has to be this way". Tucker Carlson at a Trump rally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polls are swinging to him, as are the booky odds. I know what was said about dodgy polling etc, but Harris needs a decent lead in the popular vote and it doesn't seem to be there. I think Trump will probably win at this stage. He will persecute every single person he perceives has sleighted him and turn the US into a real life Hand Maids tale theocracy with an end to elections. Ukraine will be left to its own devices. 20% trade tariffs will snuff out any hope of growth in the UK.... Genuinely scary stuff. Hopefully I'm wrong like.

spongebob toonpants 3993 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) I'm resigned to Trump winning Harris will win the popular vote, but the electoral college is such an inbuilt Republican advantage, there is so much voter suppression, so much media bias and dark money behind Trump that I don't think she has chance Dark days ahead Edited October 25 by spongebob toonpants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Washington Post not endorsing Harris now because their owner, Bezos, doesn't want to get on the wrong side of Trump. We're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
