Basically trying to nostalgia bait people but buddy saw right through it and went in for the kill.

A+ for staying on message.
They did streisand this effect very nicely without even trying.
Sounds like NBC needs to study and read socialist theory. Seriously! https://redsails.org/
They probably did, but decided to pick the side of the billionaire class/got told by their owners (the billionaire class) that they were to pick the side of the billionaire class in order to facilitate the continued exploitation of ordinary people
Gee, would’ve been a shame if NBC gets split and then to the workers who would then collectivize it. Seriously!
I wonder what New York would have been if Henry George had become mayor back then
As unhinged as social media gets, this is pretty much why so many end up trusting it over traditional media. The internet broke the veil of commercial reporting/journalism - media in general. Broke the trust on accepting public personas and not being suspicious of them behind the scenes. Sell out reporters/journalist/artists/etc are like scabs to labor strikers
Legend. Came back to his point with a friendly smile, and plenty of grace
With a climate change kicker thrown in
She was trying to do a fluff piece interview, and he was trying to drop hard facts. I’m glad he didn’t back down on his points.
Haven’t watched it but sounds like someone with strong convictions and an idea why things are the way they are. Hopefully eventually enough people recognize the fact that we need a functional society that allows the random person to feel comfortable. Cause if you get enough itchy people things get scratched.
Haven’t watched it
It’s a 30 second clip mate
Pretty much I don’t care for random audio, I prefer text articles or comments to get the jist of things. I actually hate noise unless it’s for entertainment or another person (well sometimes I don’t care for that but polite society and all).
A 30 second video would be a nice short article.
30 seconds of sound when you’re pooping on the toilet at work, is 30 seconds too much sound. Hypothetically speaking.
You sit idly pooping while so much of the housing stock in the US is owned by hedge funds?
TPUSA
Good to see that used in the correct context.
Can someone federate it?
Here is a tweet https://t.co/gUEj8HeHkF of the loops,video clip that is linked in this page https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/legend-yorker-turns-local-news-210000274.html
Crazy how fast she pulled back on that. Like she has been trained to not allow that sort of talk. It was almost instant.
From

in an instant!A dog watching another dog bite the hand that feeds her.
And this is why legacy media is legacy media.
It really makes you wonder how these reporters are trained. What else can they not talk about on air?
Anything that goes against the values of Sinclair or NexStar would be off the table.
So general common sense like fuck ICE and free Palestine?
Pretty much everything that isn’t on their script, IIRC.
The news reporter wanted a feel good puff piece regardless of how inappropriate it is. The interviewee wanted to report the actual news.
The company that owns that NBC affiliate wanted a feel good puff piece. I doubt she had a say in the matter.
Yeah, she’s just following orders.
We all know how good “just following orders” and “just doing my job” turns out.
But it wasn’t inappropriate…
To the holding company it is.
hoarding company*
🤌🏼
A misunderstanding on your part I thinks. I believe they are saying it was inappropriate to attempt to sanitize reality so they could release a “feel good puff piece”.
Was it live? Probably not. That means they left it in on purpose.
Did you watch the clip?
Yes. But if they aired it, they aired it on purpose. Clips like that are rarely actually live. So they made a show of not continuing to give him airtime, but they gave him enough to get his message out - twice.
She pulled back the microphone mid sentence when he refused to let the conversation get derailed.
Very sus
