using "diatribe" to describe a generally calm and reasoned argument is... something

Racism is a hell of a drug

The more the merrier!

Actually, it is part of a willful plan by the uber rich who own our media (and politicians) to manipulate the voters for their own benefit. Do not be fooled. We are under a conscious attack.

Fascists are so pathetic + desperate

Reporter definitely, but if you can watch this video and think Tommy is the one who came out well, you shouldn't hold any job.

Yeah, the guy shuffling out of the meeting before it was over definitely did not "win" the conversation.

Crawford is not a journalist. Works for CBS--Conservative BS propaganda outlet. She understands perfectly who won the exchange. She's lying, as her employer requires her to do. bsky.app/profile/upin...

Wikipedia is on it: On October 18, 2026, Crawford publicly praised a Christian nationalist[6] for asking Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood, despite the lack of any evidence linking El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Apparently Crawford is too dumb to understand it unless he spells it out for her really slowly, so yes.

If he had they’d just keep repeating “taqiya” over and over

I think it was expected he'd fall to his knees, weeping, thanking the white folk for the opportunity he, the scary brown man, had been given by their benevolence. Or words to that effect.

I don’t give anyone the benefit of the doubt on anything. Jan made a choice.

The guy who slinked away to a cheering crowd for the win.

There is a comprehension problem with MAGA

Sounds like whistling past the graveyard to me.

Sure Jan.

she's basically shouting "charge!" after an incredible dunk

He was almost as successful running for governor in Oregon.

The last time I saw a killing this pointed was in Pulp Fiction.

I guarantee el-Sayed was prepared for a tougher guy. When he asked “why are you asking me that question?” he was prepared to handke something like “because your sister said that your mother…” But all Tommy could do was keep repeating “because you haven’t disavowed them” and looking like a schmuck.

"CBS" ah that explains it

His body language certainly would suggest that.

The dude walked out with his tail between his legs. How can anyone watch that video and not see that obvious body language.

Update on Tommy: bsky.app/profile/mari...

Tommy literally runs away at the end to a crowd laughing at him! Even HE knew he lost bad.

Future Tommys gotta know that they'll be propped up by RW media, even if they fail spectacularly, or else there won't be any future Tommys!

Clearly the guy who slunk away head down Michael Cera-style is the winner, what else is there to discuss?

"Drake clear winner in feud with Kendrick Lamar"

She opens the window, sees it’s raining, and reports “another sunny day!”

Yeah, this goes beyond “this reporter has an ideological bias that may be improperly slanting her coverage” to “this reporter is describing a version of events that is incompatible with the video of it that we all saw.”

🏆

A reporter intentionally lying or distorting the truth really should result in severe legal repercussions. Allowing the spew of lies and propaganda is why we're in the situation we're in.

A lot of media now is just pundits deliberately misunderstanding obvious shit to appease billionaire media company owners trying to improve their public image

Kinda explains where we're at nationally, tho

I think it's hilarious how desperate she is to describe that as a win. The contortions!

They were determined to frame the narrative as they wanted, no matter how badly Tommy failed.

Demonstrating the ability to fail to understand the obvious in front of your face and instead pretend something else happened is a prerequisite to being granted the access required of a SCOTUS reporter.

It’s the system. “Meritocracy” in America has always been failing upwards, and failing upwards has always meant serving the system. Only those who serve the system are elevated by the system, even as “truth telling journalists”. System’s gotta go.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, fascist political operative Tommy is the GOAT of owning that raving Muslim, etc.

I was on the newspaper staff in two high schools and and took a class from a journalism teacher in college. Each of them would be flabbergasted at this.

it is because she is a fascist enabler.. she wants the dolts to believe it who will believe anything and to be a source that natalie can provide trump while she changes his nappy and he can repeat the lies, mistruths and mischaracterizations.

CBS. Was she recruited by Bari Weiss?

The reporter has withdrawn the tweet, which might or might not indicate anything about her ability to report

Ellison "reporter" on Twitter reveals self as a crypto-fascist How ... ordinary.

I'm sorry, what? Did she watch a different video to the rest of us?

For $200 this video is gonna follow him for the rest of his fucking life.

I totally forgot it that the RW like to rewrite the narrative. A week from now, all their podcasts will be about how Tommy wiped the floor with El-Sayed

writing an article about how Frédéric Weis was actually the winner

“Tommy! Congrats on getting your pants pulled down around your ankles again and again and again and again for five minutes straight. You owned him by showing ass more often than anyone has ever showed ass before

Oh you mean Timmy, father of Tommy?

My guess is she believed that she'd flush out a bunch of support if she stood up for her boy. It's surprising to her too that she's getting dunked on.

Absolutely on point that she's the legal analyst given that the entire SC decided to do this for the god king

Previously this might have gotten her fired. Now she's protected.

I think between this and the headline floating around they are trying to salvage and hope that nobody watches the video. The more attention drawn to it, though...

just like the jack Smith Hawkeyes fiasco

I was thinking today, this might be the first “Politician DESTROYS bigot” video that actually delivers on the promise

They immediately started to spin up conspiracies about Tommy being a plant only to discover that he genuinely was one...for them.

Nah, they don't think before uploading stuff. And if they're called out they'll just bald-facedly lie in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary rather than admit they messed up.

There was no winning here. Abdul is above that. He gave his answer and he right called out Tommy for his racism. Any community would be lucky to have this gentleman as their public representative. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is above all a man of honour.

"failure to understand" is a very charitable explanation for "failure to report," but I'd be surprised if it's accurate
