Okay, so is this how they're gonna play the Boebert thing? [View all]

Last edited Sat Sep 16, 2023, 06:08 PM - Edit history (1)

I've seen reports on the TV this morning that Boebert apologized for "bad behavior" and "lying." I've seen them run the video, but at a distance with the R rated part obscured. No mention of the groping.

She's an R, so they treat her with kid gloves. I know, in a way it's surprising that they even cover it. But they need to cover the WHOLE thing. She loves to critique others for imaginary bad behavior, and she is literally putting on an R rated show for an entire packed auditorium with (I assume) kids in the audience.

Sorry, corporate media. We see through you. If you only cared about ratings, you would cover the whole story and it would be a ratings bonanza. Plus, it IS newsworthy. So the only reason you're not is to protect the republicans. It's obvious.
