If he only said it the first time, I’d agree with you that it’s possible. But he said it, and then said it again more clearly. I’m sorry, but you can’t chalk this up to “he didn’t understand/hear.” If it were really loud there, even, and he said it twice, maybe you’d have a point. But it was not very loud where they were standing.
Not to mention, he had the context of the conversation they were having. He was trying to goad them into spouting their rhetoric. There’s no way, given the context, the volume of the area, the fact that he said it twice…I’m sorry, you can’t buy his bullshit back peddling.
I think exactly what they’d hope would happen has happened: create a controversy to become the new OAN. I, for sure, had never heard of “far right news” or whatever the fuck the name of that “network” was.
Yeah I get what you’re saying, but just yesterday at work I asked a guy to repeat himself and I did the whole “ok yeah gotcha” thing when I didn’t understand what he said even the second time. It happens.
I’m not saying this guy isn’t a piece of shit, I’m just saying this incident isn’t the one to nail him on. The whole, “the globalists? The lefties?” or whatever the exact quote was is much more egregious in my opinion. A reporter shouldn’t be influencing people’s opinions.
I agree with you about the context. I can tell this guy is part of the problem in America, I’m just not going to condemn him for something I did just yesterday. 🤷🏻♂️
Come on, you can’t be that naive. Yes, misunderstandings happen. But what are the chances that this reporter had a misunderstanding exactly when it was most politically expedient for him?
There is this weird thing people do in modern politics, where the people that have the same political beliefs they do can just never be wrong. People have their team, and everything that comes out of anyone with the same color shirt on or the right letter next to their name is suddenly defensible, no matter how obviously silly or ridiculous.
Like communists will defend every single massacre perpetrated under the banner of communism. It’s absolutely insane. Just admit that people who you agree with can do/say things that are just wrong. It’s not that hard. And it doesn’t make your convictions less your convictions.
I’ve been explaining myself all day about a joke I made at the expense of the moron who can’t speak correctly. I don’t care what you have to say. I’m sure it’s already been addressed in other comments.
