“That’s why I wanted to ask the broader question, which is, if you’ve changed your position on X, Y and Z, how can you assure voters that those positions won’t change again once they elect you?”
What a moronic concept. Why would anyone demand that their elected representative be monolithic in their positions? When you get new information, you sometimes need to adjust your positions to accommodate reality, but I guess that something the Republicans have never really been good at.
I think most people want the candidates they vote for to enact the same policies that they run for. Ain’t nobody voting for somebody going like “I’m voting for this guy based on what he says about foreign affairs, I really hope he changes his mind when he’s in office”.
Not like changing your position or your mind or your policies aren’t entirely unreasonable. Trump never got us out of Afghanistan, and Biden never got rid of cancer. However, you shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep. Making contradictory promises over the past five or ten years merits negative marks in that department.
It’s fox, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is a journalist, talking about another journalist’s response to a different journalist’s interview skills. This is not news, it’s cyclical punditry at its worst.
Are you mad that Dana said this? Or that Fox News mentioned that she said this? It’s hard to tell what your critique of the article is.
Fair question. I’m bothered that this is a story at all. Journalists should never be the subject of the story unless they’ve done something wild and newsworthy, and this article is about a journalist’s opinion about another journalist interviewing a different journalist about their interview. It’s meaningless punditry about other pundits.
My issue with this take is that this is a journalist providing political analysis. I’m not sure why political analysis shouldn’t be considered news to some degree. There was a similar article posted here about a pollster saying support for Trump has dried up: https://lemmy.world/post/19677605, and there are a bunch of articles here about celebrity support for Harris. I think Dana Bash saying something about Kamala Harris is equally newsworthy.
