Rep. Ro Khanna talking with Laura Ingraham about Pentagon $$$
by artappraiser on Wed, 12/02/2020 - 12:04am
OH.MY.GOD. Matt Gaetz was praising Ro Khanna on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show !!! Could it be this bipartisan thingie of Joe's could actually work out sometimes?

The following link is more about the particular reporting as an example of damaging partisan reporting. Aaron Rupar comes in for harsh criticism.

Glenn Greenwald on Ingraham speaking "truth to power"
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 12/03/2020 - 2:22pm
Here's the thing about Rupar, he comes up with some good things but also does have some "issues". so I don't follow him. I let journos I respect do that for me! WHen a journo I respect and follow retweets Rupar, it's probably something good. (A lot of tweets I post here I find that way, I don't necessarily follow the people, they are retweets by others, my news "curators" as it were, who have proven themselves over time; you learn over time whether they pan out as good editors/curators.)
by artappraiser on Thu, 12/03/2020 - 5:24pm
Your news "curator" as you call him/her, says, by way of passing along a Rupar tweet that Ro Khanna should be ridiculed for going on Fox News. Do you still agree?
by A Guy Called LULU on Thu, 12/03/2020 - 9:44pm
no, do I have to use it to point out what I said at the beginning of my comment? geez. the point was he alerted to the video and posted it for everyone one to see. He can add his opinion and others can disagree with it. I must say it's pretty damn standard for liberal types to screech about anyone going on Fox like they are a traitor or something. It's a rare thing to find a liberal supportive of outreach to the Fox audience. (I find it a curious phenomenon, it's a belief that Dem politicians or liberal talking heads are so dumb they will get eaten alive. Goes along with the belief that it's impossible to work any bipartisan legislation, that Dems will always get duped.)
Nightime cable tv news, all three big channels, are all infotainment, politicking and spin, very little news. I rarely can stand more than a few minutes of Fox, though, because the infotainment is so smarmy and everyone looks like they are still in 1980. The other two I can tolerate. So I appreciate it all the more if someone posts a clip of something of import happening on that station.

But Rupar did not say that "something of import" happened on that station, he instead said that something deserving of ridicule by a particular person happened on that station. He said that the person deserving ridicule is Ro Khanna.

geez go complain to him then, not me. It's easy., just click on his name on the tweet and tweet back to him.
I can handle eliminating someone's spin on something. I wrote an intro, with my opinion, didn't you read it?!!! You are expecting me to goI find a tweet that doesn't have Rupar in it, or I am suppose to edit it out somehow for you?
geez Lulu, really, I thought you'd appreciate knowing about it. My big mistake, big mistake. goodbye, no more,done. and I mean all your posts, I'll start my own even if you've got something on topic rather than get grilled by you about stupid shit.

AA. I am not interested in arguing on a bumper-sticker site with Rupar or any one else. I am participating here, at dagblog, as are you, and in this case on a subject I posted which is not related to where a politician defends his views. You chose to to comment and you have made Rupar's disparaging tweet a part of that conversation. It is okay with me that the subject has been changed from what I posted, that often happens, but I think Rupar said something stupidly wrong whether he sometimes, or even often, says things that are brilliantly correct or not. You brought him into that conversation with an endorsement that what he said must have merit because some pundit you trust re-tweeted him. I disagree with the merit of that particular tweet and so I said so and in doing so gave you a chance to support the view of your trusted source. [Commenters here have often been chastised for not supplying supporting links. Would you care to name your trusted source who re-tweeted Rupar's tweet which convinced you it had merit?] We disagree on what is stupid shit.

Oops, the link to the non-tweet source/article(
(a lot of butthurt, Lulu, trying to back up a Fox guy calling Aaron his worst hated doo-doo head and get AA to support you - are you getting paid by conversions now?)

Saagar, Rupar, RoKhanna walkback machine
Ro" and ride his tail as "bipartisan" despite his history of being a Trump bulldog?
(@atrupar didn't have to be terribly prescient that this was a horrible idea, but now that we look back...
did it really make sense for Ro Khanna to go on Laura Ingraham's show while she was helping Trump
complain the election was stolen en route to planning the Jan 6 riots?
Did it really make sense to give Matt Gaetz a chance to say "I
And while @esaagar goes on his program as usual trying to explain this development as unusual, rather than just another day in whacko wingnutlandia
others are starting to question:
Just how far to bipartisan la-la land, and will we survive the trip?
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 04/01/2021 - 6:53am
Aargh, chihuahua, not bulldog - don't feel like going back & fixing the tweets.
Here's Laura Ingraham a few days ago letting Trump drone on and on about Antifa & BLM,
then she's blasting the Capitol building for protecting itself as if violating "the people's house" -
then after Trump drones on some more about the unfair elections, Ingraham pretends to cut him off,
but then makes some spurious comments herself about "verification" problems in the election,
and how any future candidates will need to have a legal process in place long before the election,
presumably to be able to challenge all those fraudulent vote counts.
She's a snake. Hope Ro learned his lesson.

(yes, the lede is misleading here, as she kind of cuts him off, kind of completes his false claims for him)

More Aaron Rupar critique
by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 12/04/2020 - 11:39pm
Modi over in India bought a bunch of missiles from Putin and said later that they "don't work." I sometimes wonder if some of the stuff this country invests in are actually worthless.
BTW Khanna did a great interview with Michael Moore recently.
