Zier , in COVID surging in California. Is it time to bring back masks, hand sanitizer? What experts say
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

In countries that have high pollution rates, wearing a mask is normal, for pollution.
Only in America is trying to take care of yourself viewed as wrong.
I literally don't care if other people think I'm bizarre, I will wear a mask whenever I feel like it.

Lemminary , in Harris rejects Trump's idea to debate her on FOX with live audience.

Between this and her openly calling him a criminal in her public statement, I can tell dis gon be gud. Oh, I’m cackling.

worldwidewave ,

“It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space,’" she wrote on social media platform X. “I’ll be there on Sept. 10, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.”

She’s definitely signaling that she’s going to give him a spanking at the debate. I really hope it happens, and he gets into his defensive mode where he really scrambles.

CitizenKong ,

We have already seen what he will do. He will call her rude and nasty and then try to argue she isn’t black. He’s a brocken record at this point.

adespoton , in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s and Brad Raffensperger’s Voter Registrations Targeted in Georgia’s New Online Portal.

He said that additional protections for less high-profile voters include warnings on the portal that abusing it could be a felony,

…if you’re a US citizen…

features built into the website to prevent a single user from submitting multiple cancellations,

…from a single IP and browser window…

reviews of requests by county election workers

…who will likely spot people who they know or who are registered for their party only…

and a postcard that alerts voters whose registration is canceled.

…which won’t do much if their registration is canceled close enough to the election that they aren’t notified in time to actually get re-registered.

He said those safeguards make it extremely difficult to successfully cancel someone else’s voter registration.

…meanwhile, they’ve published the information required to cancel voter registration for every registered voter in the state.

TastehWaffleZ ,

All those in addition to

“The state must send mail to those who appear to have moved. If the people don’t respond, they are moved to inactive status. But they can still vote and their registration isn’t removed unless they don’t vote in the next two federal general elections.”

It’s still an insanely dumb idea but not as exploitable as I initially thought.

adespoton ,

That one actually seems reasonable to me. Relatively difficult to abuse in both directions.

pete_the_cat , in Laura Ingraham Dings Kamala Harris for Her Bad Habit of… Hugging People?

Why does every “anchor” on Fox News have that certain diction/inflection where it’s like they’re asking a question and ending it mid-sentence, but then decided to continue? I thought it was specific to Tucker, but I guess not

aramis87 , in Harris rejects Trump's idea to debate her on FOX with live audience.

He was counting on the audience to yell over Kamala when she talked, and Faux to have mysterious technical issues when it came time for his mike to be muted.

venusaur , in Harris rejects Trump's idea to debate her on FOX with live audience.

Makes sense. Gotta be neutral territory. She needs to propose an alternative. ABC is left leaning.

NegativeInf ,

NPR hosted debate in Switzerland.

nokturne213 ,

Can he go to Switzerland being a felon and all?

NegativeInf ,

At least he would end up in a jail, where he rightfully belongs.

ABCDE ,

I get your point, how is ABC left leaning though? I’m not up on my US media except for knowing CNN seems neutral, Fox being right.

g0nz0li0 ,

Also: left leaning versus right wing mouthpiece. ABC v Fox doesn’t seem like a fair comparison.

ABCDE ,

Is ABC really left? The Democrats are centre right in my Europerspective.

g0nz0li0 ,

Agree 100%

In Trump terms, left = anyone he disagrees with.

Mog_fanatic ,

That’s what I’ve always thought too. Like there’s being biased or leaning left or right or whatever… And then there’s Fox News. They are so far beyond that it’s seriously bordering on satire at this point. They don’t lean right, they fucking blasted off into outer space to the right on a rocket ship that’s still cruising off into the distance.

Cheems ,
@Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Fox isn’t even news. By their own admission, they are for entertainment purposes only. They might as well debate on Nickelodeon

ABCDE ,

Right, that’s why I went for “media” I suppose.

Here’s the abc media bias fact checker:

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d3f6e256-406b-4fb9-9e36-64002cf8ed97.jpeg

They’re fairly even keeled but they do still have all the failings of other main stream media. If 1 is left and ten is right (under US focused understanding) I’d probably say they’re a 3.5-4.5.

Not talking about any local affiliates. IMO local affiliates tend to be better than national.

taiyang ,

I’m not even sure what national ABC is; as far as I’ve ever seen its local affiliates. Unless we’re just talking Disney which I guess is left leaning (that is, if acknowledging gay people existing is left leaning which honestly is kind of sad).

FireTower ,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

W/ the national vs local I was speaking broadly about the major US news sources. Not just ABC. Even local Fox tends to be slightly less decisive.

taiyang ,

Fox affiliates aren’t so bad, ya. I grew up on Good Day LA and it was mostly daytime fluff pieces anyway.

takeda ,

At this point the GQP is so far to the right that everything is left leaning.

wischi ,

Compared to many countries in Europe even US “left” is pretty right.

Snowclone ,

It’s not at all. They are a huge corporation owned by other corporations, there’s no liberal mainstream media, there’s sensible center right news, and reactionary hard right news, there are ZERO leftists news stations. Because it costs a ton of money to be a news station and rich people aren’t even a little bit leftist.

machinin ,

Democracy Now! is pretty decent.

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

It isn't really a station, but Amy Goodman as a moderator would be pretty great.

taiyang ,

I think publically funded ones tend left, mostly because raw facts tend to have a left “bias”. Lol

I’ve had to resort to that or international news to get any sort of unsensationalized news, though.

Enkrod ,

DW is pretty good. They get called left leaning by Americans, but that’s just because leftist policies have a well known reality bias.

Nougat , in Harris rejects Trump's idea to debate her on FOX with live audience.

She's said she'll be at ABC on Sep 10, and looks forward to debating Trump in the time and place he previously agreed to. She's holding his feet to the fire on this, I don't expect there to be any agreement on any other debate until this one is over.

g0nz0li0 ,

Explains why he was so antagonistic toward the ABC reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists. As bad as that makes him look outside of the MAGA bubble, it lets him make the pathetic argument that ABC was mean to him so he won’t go debate there. His fragile little ego is more important to him than winning the election. Good news for democracy lovers.

Maggoty , in Killing of Hamas Leader Fuels More Tension Between Biden and Netanyahu

Almost like Netanyahu isn’t negotiating in good faith?

Hmmm.

No, it’s all just a misunderstanding! We should send more weapons. Surely they’ll respect the human rights in Lebanon after they’re done respecting them in South Israel Gaza.

PythagreousTitties , in ABC Host Received Death Threats Following Trump Interview

Was it “the radical left” ?

What’s that? No, it wasn’t? Again? Huh

Aurenkin , in Harris rejects Trump's idea to debate her on FOX with live audience.

Seems reasonable. There is already an agreed upon time and place, anything other than that is back tracking by Trump. Even if they try to spin it to say he “agreed” to do it on Fox, to try and put the ball in Harris’ court. The reality is he already agreed to the ABC debate and any change is him backing out of that and pivoting.

Bonesince1997 ,

I may have missed something, and I don’t think it should really matter, but did he agree to debate Biden, Harris, or just generally “his opponent”? He still needs to do it, but I wonder if there was a specific agreement.

Edit: punctuation

RogueAozame , (edited )

From what I understand it’s anyone with over 15 percent or something in certain polls.

Edit: Could not verify electoral college vote requirement so I took it out.

modifier ,

Biden was the presumptive nominee at the time he originally agreed to it, and you’re right, it shouldn’t and doesn’t matter.

It is especially odd that his counter-proposed date ia before the previously agreed on date, which completely undermines the already weak claim that the change in candidate somehow inconveniences the Trump campaign.

I mean, it does, but only in the sense that the new crew are running circles around Trump and Co.
