This seems like a worse own goal than “defund the police” as a slogan, best of intentions but the execution was so bad.
I’d put heavy money on Republicans running chunks of this interview hard during the run up to the midterms.
I have a sinking fear this will be one of those tragicomic moments of earnest, well intentioned progressives inadvertently helping trump, like when many sat out the 2024 election in a misguided attempt to somehow help Palestinians.
Not necessarily. FOX News isn’t being broadcast exclusively to registered Republican voters. It has a massive reach in the US. Even folks that don’t watch it exclusively, are still exposed to it through other sources.
Most of the narratives being pushed through FOX, are then repeated word-for-word, through local subsidiary stations, that regular people all across the country watch as their local news, regardless of which party they typically vote for.
