Dated: 2024-08-03. Added: 2024-08-03. Edit: Gift link added. Edit (2024-08-04): The New York Times altered the title from “Trump Agrees to a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept. 4” to “Trump Proposes a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept. 4” to “Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead”, presumably because the original misleadingly implied agreement with and consent from Kamala Harris for the change in venue (ABC News to Fox News).

a proposal that has not yet been accepted by the Harris campaign.

Not confirmed by the Harris campaign or Fox News at this point. Why are we reporting Trump's garbage social media spew as factual?

You mean the propaganda network who just couple of days ago said “if you are a man who vote for women, you have transitioned into women? IT’S SCIENCE”

WOW, what a great venue for “debate”!

It fucking sucks that the Democrats keep bending over backwards for this shitbag. Why does he get to pick the venue?

He doesn’t. Harris campaign has not responded. This is just Trump’s wishful thinking.

Edit: Headline misleads with the phrase "agrees to." That suggests that there has been an "agreement" between the two parties. There has not. This is Trump's "proposal."

Trump Proposes a Fox News Debate ...

NYT misleading with headline phrasing????

Nooooooooooo.

Did you read the article?

"Man being assassinated drives knife into own stomach"

I bet he can't make himself look good even on home turf at this point.

My only concern is when she gets flustered sometimes she blurts something out off the dome that she really shouldn’t. The line about not trusting a vaccine from the Trump admin in 2020 comes to mind immediately - very kneejerk, poorly considered response.

Trump is allowed to make 100 of these a minute. By virtue of being a woman of color she isn’t. It’s fucked but it’s true. She really, really needs to avoid that kind of response. He’s on a temper tantrum right now and she looks like the adult in the room. It’s one of her best strengths going into this election and she needs to protect that image.

Same goes for any woman of color. Right relentlessly attacked Fani Willis and slandered her all over for being in a relationship with a divorced man - at the same time nominating a convicted rapist and serial cheater to be their party leader.

Hypocrisy is their brand. It is up to us - those who are not in a cult - to reject these attacks and not allow mainstream media to run with them. FUCK THE PROPAGANDA AND VOTE.

The current link is not a gift link.

For a cable network, which by their own admission is an "entertainment" show and no "reasonable viewer" would take them seriously...

Why are they even allowed to host political debates?

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same for CNN now too. John Malone is a Trump fan boy.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The DNC desire for “debate” will never be anything but incredible to me. Why? Why, DNC?

“Swing voters”? “Outlining of policies”? “Reasoned discussion”?

Trump has murdered all of these things. In front of your faces. Many times!

Just . . . Don’t.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They still think facts and reason matter more to people than gut feelings and peer pressure.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

They don't understand the modern GQP is very literally a cult, with the attendant cult mindset. "Debate" is just performative vitriol in their eyes.
