Please explain what was missed!
I am not sure what you are alluding to…
The Hill segment focused only on Stewart’s passing comments about US public transportation. Stewart was not commenting on the differences between US and Russian (Moscow) public transportation. Stewart was talking about how Russia is a brutal and oppressive regime and Tucker is a despicable “journalist” by knowingly lying in an attempt to make his audience believe that they need to sacrifice their freedoms.
How about the praising Tucker Carlson? Or hand-waving away the pictures of people being arrested for simply grieving Navalny? Basically trying to downplay Jon Stewart’s emphasis on the lack of political freedom that Russia’s citizens actually have.
Did you even watch the video?
Not sure if my English fails me or if you’re saying that Russians have political freedom.
Generally when one is lacking something, they do not have it.
We do not think the same way or know the same things.
I did watch the video, but I do not share the viewpoints you have on Tucker/Navalny/Stewart/Russia.
Thank you for pointing those points out!
Are you translating via ChatGPT or something? Your English is awfully weird.
What is weird about their English? Seems fine to me…
And look through the history - I’m not sure what’s going on there; if he’s automated, or maybe an overseas content farmer. But the words are english, just not in the same order or cadence that someone would normally use.
And don’t get me wrong, I’ve got no problems with non-english speakers, but things start getting a little suspect when non-english speakers are only posting US politics. On top of that, US politics which (in this case) are showing a clear pro-Russia bias.
Nah, that is just my US public school education.
I have put time into expanding my knowledge outside of school, but I admit that I must keep learning and improving.
That is a reason I also interact in forums, so that I don’t get too rusty!
