    If that’s really what she was referring to, why does she never say that? The reporters are definitely biased btw. All you have to do is look at the interviews they do with Kamala or Biden (the very few of them they’ve done) and then listen to the interviews they do with Trump or just about any Republican really. It’s more than obvious. Yes, they’re supposed to challenge the person they are interviewing and every now and then they’ll ask Kamala a tough question, but then she’ll give a completely false answer and they just move on to the next one. You never see them do a follow up on it just like when she said that she made it clear in 2020 that she wouldn’t ban fracking. That’s false. She said the exact opposite. She mentioned at the time that Joe wouldn’t ban fracking, but said that she was for banning it. They never call her out on any of it. They also never sit there and fact check every sentence that comes out of the Dems mouth, but it’s just the opposite with Trump. If Trump claimed he retired from the military under a rank that he didn’t have, you’d never hear the end of it. Tampon Tim does it and they actively defend him. Also, more recently, the MSM goes on and on about Trump taking photos at Arlington National Cemetery in section 60, but Biden was the first to actually use photos he had taken in section 60 in a campaign ad. Does the MSM say anything about that? Not even a whisper/

      All you have to do is look at the interviews they do with Kamala or Biden (the very few of them they’ve done) and then listen to the interviews they do with Trump or just about any Republican really. It’s more than obvious.

      If it’s so obvious it should be easy for you to link to such an interview. Ideally, we should have two interviews from the same interviewer, one for either side, then we can determine the bias of that interviewer. Determining bias of the network would require much more evidence.

      every now and then they’ll ask Kamala a tough question, but then she’ll give a completely false answer and they just move on to the next one.

      Trump lies with almost every breath and gets away without fact checking against the vast majority of it. You claim Kamala does this also, but your only example so far has been one where the very network you claim is biased towards her in fact corrected her, at that very moment. They followed up on that. That’s what you said, now you’re trying to claim that they don’t follow up on her gaffes.

      Perhaps it’s a flaw with interviewing in general, because interviewers for sure don’t fact check Trump very much. The fact checking comes after the fact, by other parties. However you can only be biased if you think Trump is fact checked more than Kamala, proportional to the amount of lies either of them make.

      The fact is she makes fewer gaffes, that’s why it seems like they follow up less - there’s less to follow up on, and what is followed up on is usually less substantial. Meanwhile Trump lies all the time, and it becomes so tiresome trying to correct every word he says that most get overlooked, and can only be picked apart by in depth breakdowns that most people don’t have the time to watch.

      If Trump claimed he retired from the military under a rank that he didn’t have, you’d never hear the end of it. Tampon Tim does it and they actively defend him.

      Tampon Tim, lmao, your mask is slipping and you’re revealing how much kool-aid you’ve drank.

      No one is comparing Tim to Trump. People are comparing Tim to Vance. Vice President nominee to Vice President nominee. JD Vance himself tried to dismiss Waltz’s 24 years’ service in the National Guard because he didn’t see combat, while ignoring the fact that Vance was in a PR department of the marines - for far less time - and also did not see combat. Vance’s military career was purely about getting a line on his resume, while you don’t serve for 24 years without some genuine patriotism. Walz suffered hearing damage from firing artillery, meanwhile Vance can’t even claim he developed carpal tunnel syndrome from his military service.

      You also cannot genuinely claim that Walz’s military career is glossed over. No one has challenged Vance’s career up until now, while Walz has faced these accusations and won in spite of them time and time again since 2006. The reason he wins in spite of the accusations is because the accusations are vexatious.

      The argument over Walz’s rank is semantic. He was promoted, it’s just that the promotion was conditional on him completing certain training after the promotion, which he never completed. Similarly, Donald Trump was indicted twice while President, it’s just that his party’s Senate elected not to actually remove him from the office of President. Walz was still promoted to that rank, and Donald Trump was still indicted twice. Walz was essentially offered a job that he eventually did not take up, meanwhile Trump committed crimes but went unpunished.

      Biden was the first to actually use photos he had taken in section 60 in a campaign ad

      Biden had his photo taken while performing his duties as then-Vice President. He later re-used that photo in an election campaign. The photo was taken in 2010, then he used it in 2020.

      Trump brought media with him to take photos during his election campaign for the purpose of using those photos in his election campaign.

      The rules are clear, you’re not allowed to do take photos for the purpose of election campaigning. Biden did not break that rule, he didn’t even arrange the photo. You’re free to take photos so long as it isn’t for the purpose of election campaigning.

      In spite of not breaking the letter of rule, I would agree that Biden violated the spirit of the rule. However, Biden is not running for President now, Trump is, and Trump’s gaffe happened well after he had dropped out. Trump’s getting desperate, and he’s making bigger and bigger mistakes.

      You also cannot say that Biden was at fault and disrespected the military without admitting that Trump disrespected the military.


      Ultimately, it feels like talking to you is pretty pointless. You stubbornly refuse to concede anything, no matter how minor, chasing some proverbial “win”. You’ve chosen to follow your favourite fiction, rather than embrace a search for objective truth. Frankly, I believe that clinging to ignorance, in spite of evidence to the contrary, is the greatest sin a human being can commit. It brings shame to your ancestors, to the good men and women who sacrificed their lives for you to live in relative comfort.
