I don’t understand how most people still consider CNN “centrist”. They turned pretty sharply to the right in mid/late 2022 with the leadership change and the policies that brought in. Not as bad as Fox, of course, but that bar is basically underground.

Many people still think it's leftist! Not smart people, but they are technically people.

And unfortunately, they can and do vote :/

Can we downgrade them to Cro-Magnon?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago

Agreeing to this interview on CNN was the first truly stupid thing the Harris team has done imo.

Perceptions last for a long time.

At this point, yeah, more or less.

I agree, yet Media Bias/Fact Check continues to list it as left-center.

MBFC is essentially based on the judgement call of a single person, which is why I absolutely would not treat it as gospel.

I mean, the obvious question:

"Mr. Trump, why are you afraid to be on camera with your VP pick, like you were when you did your first interview with Mike Pence?"

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every time these bozos try to insult Walz they just make him sound better lol

Oh noes, this guy is emotionally supportive whatever will we do?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 21 points 3 weeks ago

Republicans call Tim Walz a golden retriever (derogatory) lmao

[–] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 weeks ago

Dehumanization involves viewing opponents as less than human, often to justify inhumane treatment.

I’m starting to think these guys really don’t like Harris and Walz

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

God that fucking guy. He's three turds in a trenchcoat.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wow. What have turds ever done to you?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 14 points 3 weeks ago

Some people just cannot respect women, no matter how much education and training they get. No one would ever use this analogy with Biden.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The trailing apostrophe is for plural possessives. When a noun or proper noun ends in S naturally, you still use the same construction.

GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE:

CNN’s Jennings slammed for calling Walz Harris’s “emotional support animal” over interview

Harris’s

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

TIL, thank you, this rule always bugged me to remember.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

At least they were “slammed.” A reputable news org wouldn’t have weird pundits like this on at all.

Bitch we all know her emotional support animal is a cat just like every other civilized human being and you will respect that.
