waiiiit a minute doc... You don't think satirizing Fox news is justified??
I get your libertarian world view and the fact that sometimes you like to push buttons to see if someone has considered all the angles,
but....
You don't think satirizing Fox news is justified??
ok, i'll wind that back a bit, i think i was distracted by something and didn't get to detail that particular post...it should always be justified to take the piss out of any news network, Fox included. But Fox should also get praise where it's due for giving a platform to liberal ideas when the mainstream networks avoid it (for mysterious reasons). It's this more balanced aspect of Fox which has improved greatly since the days of Jon Stewart's pisstaking.
Of course, I also accept there's an element (a major element) of pointscoring here. Tucker et al will be very pleased to host Tulsi if it appears to paint the Democrat-establishment in a negative light. I understand criticism of her from that angle as there's an argument she's damaging her own party by making them look silly on a Republican news network.
But then again, the Democrat-establishment has been making themselves look silly since allowing Hillary to beat Sanders.
Speaking of Bernie, he's my favoured top-tier candidate. And like Gabbard he's benefitted hugely by appearing on the Joe Rogan podcast (now the world's most popular podcast). He got to speak in detail about his ideas, so that the average American for the first time finally understood what he was about (i.e. not a crazy socialist, but a decent politician looking out for the little guy).
If not Tulsi, who admittedly is still a rank outsider, then as a European i would love for Bernie to get it, and beat Trump. He has sensible foreign policy, and humane domestic policies. A humane America is good for the world.
