This is what journalism is supposed to look like. George Stephanopoulos grilled Rand Paul into a hyperventilating frenzied state.

1. He forgot the mute button

Paul made such an ass of himself.

2. It serves ABC News right

for booking this liar. They think such faceoffs makes for entertaining TV. But every time these liars get an opportunity to spew their garbage, it does damage.

3. The GOP doesn't have a Trump problem. They have a crank problem.

They decided years ago to appeal to the crank vote. People with racial conspiracy theories, people with extreme religious beliefs, people with weird economic philosophies. Now the cranks they exploited for votes have taken over the Party.

4. Paul got what he wanted.

He got on national TV and spouted the same BS he always spouts. The white wing base is happy as a lark to see him prove his point, even as he didn't.
Liars don't admit their lies.

or something like that.

Thanks for the thread egbertowillies.

7. It might do us better to egg them on a bit...

Because it is ironic to hear the fascists screaming for "free and fair" elections after doing everything they can to the contrary from the formation of the Constitution onwards.
So I say bring on free and fair. Then let the current republican party die on their own sword.

8. "There are two sides to every story."

Okay, here's a story:

"People are saying Rand Paul is a pedophile and a heroin addict."

Senator Paul, you'll have time to offer a rebuttal, but first let's bring on someone we found who says he's seen you molesting children and shooting heroin.

That's his side of the story. I of course can't comment on the truth of that, because that would be inserting myself into the story.

And now, in the interests of fair and balanced, your comment....??

9. I wish I could see "what journalism looks like" in FULL SCREEN as shown on the thumbnail/cover image

I hate how this video blogger always uses misleading thumbnail/cover images for his videos. By looking at the cover image, the viewer is led to believe that we'll get to see a full-screen video clip (like Brian Tyler Cohen does).

But, no... the "host" always uses DECEPTIVE cover-images, and in reality it's a teeny-tiny squeezed-down and shrunk video clip that's LESS than 1/4 of the available screen size. (And the "host" is an unnecessary visual distraction as he's fidgeting and looking around the room.) This is a real sloppy and lazy way to create and post videos. It shouldn't take THAT much effort to go full-screen with the clip we're viewing.

Why not be HONEST with the representation of what we're going to view? Why trick people into thinking we're going to get a clear full-sized video clip? That's the one thing that I really dislike about monetized youtube videos. More clicks (no matter if people are tricked) mean more money, and more likely that youtube will recommend the video to others.

Jarge?

10. I don't think turds like Rand Paul should get ANY air time.

They have the same lying script they go by. Nothing substantial ever leaves their lips. What a waste of time.
