  I would kill or die to see American reporters grow a fucking pair and hammer the questions home like this.

    It’s beautiful. Just stays on point, doesn’t let Miller’s yelling distract him and keeps asking the right question.

    I love how these fucks are happy to throw out numbers as long as there are no follow up questions.

      meanwhile trump thinks he won the debate by 97 to 3.

      they need a dose of reality to counter the absolute bullshit that is 100% of their ‘campaign’.

    He should be asked this exact same question by other journalists, but maybe add “If you don’t know the statistics, just say so.”

  Stephen Miller is a subhuman piece of garbage. He’s pretty much directly responsible for every single piece of race-based Executive Action in the Trump White House. He honestly believes he’s a true Svengali/Jafar/Puppeteer of people, and regularly flips out when confronted with truth and facts. His own family calls it his Jewish heritage, and he’s aligned with White Nationalist groups. Insane.

  Good piece on it: newyorker.com/…/how-stephen-miller-manipulates-do…

    Exactly. This guy just put on a fucking master class on how to not get gas lit. Forming a tenable position is based on progressive and logical steps. When you’re all over the fucking map like Miller, you don’t have a leg sot stand on. This is doubly true when you cherry pick the facts or don’t have facts to begin with.

    By not moving from his position, the reporter made Miller look like the shit-bagel he is, AND pissed him the fuck off.

    Amazing. Reporter of the fucking year

  In summary, Stephen Miller trusts Nicolás Maduro.

  Weird.

  Miller was so far out of his depth there. It was like a mini replay of the main event.

  Lizard-man: “The facts are…” proceeds to argue inflammatory speculation based on emotions

  As someone who’s in Aurora a fair bit, I doubt you need me to tell you, but the right-wing stories are bullshit:

  Miller is not a sharp mind, he couldn’t flexibly come up with a response to a changing situation and restored to bullying, which didn’t work either

  The reporter wasn’t even that sharp or clever either, which again tells you what you need to know about Miller, he would be mid-level manager somewhere if not for his luck

    I disagree. Too many people get lead off the path by the MAGA bullshit fire hose. Dude just kept forcing the dipshit back to his question… over and over.

    It makes clear to viewers what Miller is doing and why he turned into a man baby as the video goes on.

    • Bwaz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I think the point was that the reporter was being no more than competent enough to insist on a reply to his question. It looked sharp only compared to milquetoast U.S. reporters who are almost universally afraid to confront anyone for fear of blacklisting.

    consider the industries that desperately rely on immigrant labor:

    • agriculture
    • construction
    • meat packing
    • transportation
    • manufacturing
    • health services - they literally want grandma to be cared for by the same immigrants they think are evil.

    and yet… somehow, these are also some of the biggest supporters of conservative bullshit. It’s almost as if they want their workforce to fear being in the goddamned country.

    Huh.

      Didn’t trump rape a child? And shut down a bill to fund ICE? It must be tough to keep straight when you’re supposed to care about child rape and border security.

  The right is very good at picking a name and holding it up to “win”. They do this because they can’t deal with statistics.

  Copying my comment from another thread:

    It’s also a tactic of bullshitters to say a whole bunch of stuff in series, just put something out there and quickly move on to the next thing, making it sound like they have a lot of substance but hoping the quick change doesn’t give anyone much of a chance to pull on any of the threads of what they said or look close enough to realize that there is little to no substance behind any of it.

    Ancient Aliens and Alex Jones both also use that.

    And it’s a pain in the ass to unravel because people who don’t want to look more closely and just want to believe think there’s a list of things that need to be disproven if you wait and let the speaker finish or don’t question him about it directly because the believers don’t feel like they have the expertise to rebut counterpoints (so shelve them instead of discarding) and instead just want to go down the list. Which is fair, though it would be nice if they applied that same skepticism to that list of points in the first place.

    But this seems like an effective counter for that strategy. Just pick an item on the list that doesn’t sound right and keep pulling on that thread with the person that said it on the first place rather than the disciples blindly following. Then they’ll see it’s not just their lack of expertise getting in the way of arguing back against counterpoints, it’s the whole thing lacking any real substance at all.

    The journalist asked him a very simple yes or no question and he screamed while refusing to answer it. How did he win the exchange? He acted like a baby. He even kept insisting that the journalist answer a yes or no question repeatedly.

    • Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You’re making the mistake of thinking facts and good journalism are at all what Trump sycophants care about. To you and I it looks like the journalist did a good job and won the exchange, but all ‘they’ see is a white man yelling at an uppity immigrant about mocking violent crime in the US.
