Tiger337 Posted Saturday at 09:40 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:40 PM (edited) 15 minutes ago, mtutiger said: All I will say is that, despite the fact that he was on tape in the AH Tape describing in vivid detail something that happened involving him, it appears that in the eyes of some, he may have been just telling a story (or, as he framed in 2016, "locker room talk") I wish I could understand why he deserves the benefit of the doubt on that. He just doesn't, sorry The key line for me was "they let me do it" Many saw that as resolving him from blame. I thought the opposite. I thought it made him sound even worse. It made it sound like he can do anything he wants because he is famous and powerful. After watching him for eight years, we know that is exactly how he feels about everything. And no women lets a man walk up and grab her pussy no matter who he is. There are women that want to have a relationship with a man like that so they can enjoy the wealth and fame, but none of them want to be sexually assaulted.

mtutiger Posted Saturday at 11:43 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:43 PM (edited) I've been seeing this take a lot from journalists in the wake of WaPo's **** up... But if consumers aren't satisfied and want to send a message, what other means are there to get it acrossrd? Journalism is very important, but the industry's inability for self-reflection is a big reason we are here.

Edman85 Posted Sunday at 12:37 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:37 AM If they were truly stifling their opinion staff, why have the following articles run? If anything else, this has allowed their pages to show more pro-Harris editorials and drawing attention to their opinions page to read them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/26/washington-post-endorses-kamala-harris-satire/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-editorial-board-wapo-endorsement-2024/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/washington-post-presidential-endorsement/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-columnist-no-endorsement-2024-trump-harris/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
