News programs need to stop inviting these people on

Kevin Hassett suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations: "I can tell you that in the situation room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada's got a big drug problem."

You know that's not going to happen. "News" programs are not about factual news; they are about generating clicks and eyeballs under the pretense of objectively reporting all sides of a story.

"Many people believe the earth is spherical; here's someone with an alternative view..."

Okay, but at some point they'd run out of Republicans, and then what are they supposed to do?

They will go on a cycle and do it all over again

Yes they should, but they refuse to be anything but stupid political show where both sides get equal treatment. They are entertainment.

Also can the media explain that the reason that they are doing it this way is because declaring an “emergency” at the border allows them to raise tariffs without congress? I’ve literally heard it explained once!

They’re on the same team.

No one thought it was possible to have an economist dumber than Stephen Moore. And yet here we are.

This guy is an imbecile. Show us the photos and the proof. Let Canada respond.
The Whitehouse situation room today is basically a three ring clown circus.

That’s kinda insulting to there ring clown circuses.

At least those are supposed to be funny

The White House situation room as run by Felon Musk and the Mango Mussolini is “bad comedy”

Allowing these propagandists constant access to spew their lies is one of the reasons we’re in this mess.

Invite them on. Then get actual informed journalists to call them out and push back against them.

wrylee.bsky.social•3 hours ago

This. Each program needs to reserve a segment at the end to reality-check the shit these people spew.

fbajak.bsky.social•2 hours ago

No, because even before the reality check airs the disinformation will already have been posted in video clips on social media. You do not invite such actors onto your live nationally televised news show. And you edit video interviews. I’ve dealt with this in numerous countries I covered.

wrylee.bsky.social•1 hour ago

But they get their disinfo out regardless, using other media.

fbajak.bsky.social•1 hour ago

That’s not relevant to ABC News’ practice here. This is a matter of the integrity of an outfit that wishes to be considered a fact-based news org.

Stop watching
