“In the fake news media, there are two sets of rules, and conservative[s] are always treated differently,” she continued.
Well, she’s right about that much, but not in the way she thinks.
Honestly, the fact that sociopathic whack jobs like Noem are even given the time of day by the media shows how beholden they are to conservative interests.
Here’s a hot take, maybe don’t constantly spew raw bullshit?
What I really want is for her to go the fuck away. Fuck off to Russia or something…

It is so bad 🤣.
These books are how the GOP launders money right? Is that why she refuses to retract it?
It is so bad 🤣.
Oh man, it was worse than I thought it would have been.
She was asked multiple straight-up “yes or no” questions, and would dance around or try completely change the subject. When the interviewer called her on it, she’d spout nearly the same talking points again, and sometimes even a third time. If she was complaining about being interrupted its because, several times, she completely ignored the question being asked and simply went off into unrelated campaign style language. She was interrupted when the interviewer was pulling her back to answer the question being asked.
90% of the questions she was asked were about direct quotes from her book. She even said “I refused to discuss who I met with”…but she had no problem discussing those things in the book? So bizarre.
Her: “Why don’t you ask Joe Biden about things he misspoke about?”
Interviewer: “I haven’t gotten an interview with Joe Biden, but I will ask him when I do. I have an interview with you so I’m asking you about what you said.”
Did she take too much Xanax before that interview? I only got a few minutes in but there was zero inflection in her voice even when they called her on her bullshit of claiming to have met Kim Jong Un.
Her publisher removed it from the book, and announced that, but it’s always important not to be recorded admitting you were full of shit. This way, it’s less efficient to use the soundbite against her. But HOLY SHIT that was awkward.
As for the books, it’s basically a rite of passage in both parties for younger politicians with ambitions to put out a memoir/manifesto. It lays out how you want to be perceived and sort of announces, “I am a serious political figure.” Sometimes it goes REALLLLLY badly.
that’s great analysis.
Its true of both parties, that when when politician communicates in public, they need to do 2 things :
- Show that you are obedient and skilled at delivering and defending the policies paid for by your parties donors.
- throw a bit of red meat to feed your base.
thats the job.
If you are prepared to go on TV, and say we could easy the hunger problem by eating babies, and you are good at it - well, money and power will come your way.
The Democrats serve corporate profits.
The Republicans currently serve the billionaire class, for whom having the thumb on the scales is no longer enough, and demand that reality itself be bent to their will.
The publisher for Morning Joe Scarborough apparently launders GOP money and keeps Matt Gaetz in his old seat (FLA - 1). The dinosaurs are hoping their traditional media monopoly will drown out the counter arguments on the internet. This explains Sinclair media buyouts and that famous video of scripted joirnalism somewhat as well.
I mean you wrote the book lady. You could just lied and not said shit and later on when it came out that you did drive out to a gravel pit with the expressed purpose of shooting a puppy in the head…
THATS when you cry fake news.
Apparently the new fake news is asking if what you wrote in your book was true.
She knows her supporters aren’t exactly the literary types, I guess she thought nobody else would bother reading either.
