So?
This is pretty amazing messaging - something the Dems have been absolutely shite at. "Weird", "Not going back", the class stuff, the hypocrisy. And the crowd outright laughing at Trump and Vance.
If the Dem's stay on message and stay on track they are going to kill this.
The guts to bring up what?

Trump has done a Town Hall on CNN. Has Harris or Biden?

I'm willing to bet they'd be happy to do a town hall on CNN, yes.
The debates are PG aren't they - with so many upholstered chairs in the room is it safe to mention Vance's couch fetish?

Why not Fox. It has 3x the audience. Seems silly not to.

Speaking of upholstery...
Edit: also snopes has confirmed this is not a doctored photo:
Real or Fake: Is This an Authentic Photo of Trump?
The picture showed him covered with what appears to be sweat and heavy orange makeup or self-tanner lotion.

I hope Vance doesn't think Trump's face is a couch...

They might do, I dunno?? But if not, it's probably due to the rabid, unhinged bias on Fox.
Holy shit - that is borderline blackfaceSpeaking of upholstery...

Oh most definitely. But they are not rabid or unhinged.
They more closely resemble actual news networks.
Remember this defence?
"The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "
She wrote: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

He literally called the protests peaceful in the quote.
I gather he was only comparing a couple of protesters who held up horrific signs with the KKK, not the protests in general. I.e he was likely focusing on the very small minorities signs and messaging that was advocating scary racist attitudes towards jewish people were equivalent to the signs held up by KKK members in past protests.
Yes, though they are biased towards liberalism not lefty progressives. They are centre or centre-right on economics (that's why Bernie was harshly treated even by MSNBC). Centre-left or left (depending on the show/person) on social issues. Obviously they aren't the same as each other.
As has been said, they aren't in the same wheelhouse as Fox e.g. they didn't amplify attempts to overturn a presidential election, but certain personalities are sensationalist over substance.
Me too, but unironically.
Yes, because that's a statement of fact. If he had claimed they were causing a violent ruckus, it would be a lie and misinformation.
Did he say that? I don't see any such qualifier.
Even if he was, it's pretty ugly to take the worst examples of people with an opinion and use them as an exemplar of all people with that view. I think you'll agree that the overwhelming majority of people at pro-Palestine protests have not been attacking the Jewish people, only Israel.
Yeah, sounds a bit like how conservatives suggest Barack Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya and Michelle Obama is biologically male, but have never described Candace Owens in any such terms. Even though she suggested a prominent rabbi drinks Christian blood.

Have to admit these comments are disapointing. Sounds like waltz was chosen because he wasnt seen as a threat and more a yes man. Thats not the person I want as a vp. You want someone who can sell policy. Walt literally said he is a bad debator. Yeek. We need great debaters.
"But Walz made it clear he would be a team player.
Asked how he saw his role as VP, Walz said he would perform the job however Harris wanted him to. Asked whether he wanted to be the last person in the room before Harris made a decision, Walz said only if she wanted him to be there.
And asked whether he had ambitions to run for president himself one day, Walz said he did not, a point that sources said was not lost on a team looking to minimize the potential for any internal drama in a future Harris administration."
