Ugh, I've already been feeling frustrated in general, why did I have to look at this.

    I didn't think they did the absolute worst but it could have been much better. A lot of people are talking about how this person was cringe or did bad or whatever. I mean they didn't do great, I think the pressure got to them a bit.

    But holy shit the news presenter is even more cringe. The bad talking points. The smugness from a guy who gets paid millions to shit on poor people. It's just so bad.

      It's moot because boomers would never see it but I'd attack them on this. Call them a smug elitist liberal who gets off on pretending to be working class, much like the channel at large. Being called a liberal is one of the few things that destroys shameless chuds.

      I thought the first bit they were talking about was pretty good, but they let themselves get dragged into talking about irrelevant shit by the Fox host, and avoiding those pitfalls is a media skill not everyone has. Ideally instead of talking about themselves they should have focused on being forced to work by the wage system and the massive inequality that's created by it.

        Correct. This is because the mod is not familiar with debating people. It's a skill, controlling the conversation. The presenter has a lot of experience with it and the mod does not. They got steamrolled and didn't realize that this was adversarial. You can see it as they go on. They take the questions as authentic and allow the host to completely create the narrative he wants.
