Sure does say something that 8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News because the content was worth it for a brief moment.

It says a fuck ton of people wanted to watch Kamala Harris wipe the floor with Brett Baier
I thought she did great. But with his constant interruptions, nobody could sound that great
She handled him, tho. Kept saying, “excuse me, let me finish” and didn’t let him stop her
So many people think he "owned" her. Or that she didn't answer his questions, and I'm like, "did you watch the same thing?"
They probably didn’t. They’re probably just repeating what they heard some Fox News host say
This!! In another thread I was lamenting how it was hard to find the interview at first. I was funneled all these ‘Brett wipes the floor with Kamala’ type videos instead. Wtff
There are probably a lot of people who have begun having doubts about the orange bad who still wouldn’t trust other networks and needed it to be on Fox to tune in. I hope she got through to enough of them to make a difference.
She doesn't even need to get them to switch. Just stay home and decide it isn't worth committing treason for.
I keep almost seeing if I can ~~fish~~ find it somewhere to watch, and then I remember it won’t change my mind, and it will probably just upset me.
edit: damn you autocarrot
8 million people was able to stomach watching Faux News
Yeah. Their regular viewer base.
that would actually be a lot better than if they were just visiting kamala fans.
inb4 trump rant online about it. Dude doesn't give a shit about the country, but ratings? That hurts him.
Way too late. Almost immediately afterwards, he started crying about how “weak” FoxNews is.
He's on some minor social media site with a bunch of incoherent posting in all caps.
I am watching it now. I would never choose to watch Fox by choice other than the viral BS videos. She is doing well. He is talking over her, and it's GREAT. Great from the perspective of poking them on their turf. She is holding her own. Is she who I would choose if I was a chooser? No. But you know..fascism....so...here we are.
I wouldn't have chosen her because I think this country is way too racist and sexist to elect a black woman. I hope to God I'm wrong, but the American voter has disappointed me too often.
There are a lot of reasons I wouldn’t choose her, but yes, unfortunately that’s on the list.
It seems like Harris is happy with how the interview went but I'm seeing negative coverage too. I wonder what viewers open to changing their minds actually thought.
I knew that article from the Hill read like it was dripping with loaded words and bias so I checked out the author Becket Adams and found this:
"The National Journalism Center (NJC) is an American conservative political organization established in 1977 by conservative journalist M. Stanton Evans. Its president is Scott Walker, former Republican governor of Wisconsin, who is also president of Young America's Foundation. The current program director is Becket Adams, who has written for conservative publications including the Washington Examiner and the National Review.[1] The NJC runs programs and internships for journalism students to educate them on professional journalism and conservative political issues and values."
He's a conservative, of course he's going to shit on her parade. If my memory serves, Scott Walker is also a piece of shit.
Scott Walker is a huge piece of shit
Let me tell you something, folks. Scott Walker, he's like a giant, stinking pile of shit. It's unbelievable. Nobody's seen anything like it before. You walk past it, and you know it's bad right away. Everyone says it. People are talking about it. It’s huge, just sitting there, doing nothing, and it stinks—worse than anyone thought. And guess what? He thinks it’s good! Can you believe it? He’s out there, pretending like everything’s fine, while people can’t even stand to be around him. Total disaster, folks. Total mess. We’re going to clean it up, because that’s what we do. We clean up the mess left by people like Scott Walker, the human pile of shit. Believe me.
Didn't he sell all of Wisconsin's public power plants for pennies on the dollar?
I live in Wisconsin, and I can assure you Scott Walker is a gigantic piece of shit.
"Becket Adams is a columnist for National Review, the Washington Examiner, and the Hill. He is also the program director of the National Journalism Center."
Greasy smarmy conservative creep thinks Democrat didn't do well, news at 11
Anyone know how to watch the interview without giving Fox any traffic?
