Nice to see you blame the victim.

Even so. It wasn’t Kyle Rittenhouse’s job to sentence them to death, then kill him. HE WAS 17 for goodness sake! Penny, you come off as a rage-full person; not sure why you want to post on PressRun other than to shoot us/Dems down. And yes, Eric has his fan base. He’s earned it and comes by it honestly. He stands up for what he believes; he is smart, honest, KIND, passionate and committed to hounding the press until they get it right. Count me as a proud Eric groupie. He and the rest of us have kept me sane throughput TFG, the pandemic and continue to today.

So according to you people have the right to kill whomever they think deserves it.

Eric is quite correct about you.

See above about defund and abolish. And no one, even those on the left who use those stupid terms, support vigilantism.

The only one demonstrating hypocrisy today is you. You claim to want to win in 22 and 24, that you care, and yet all you do is attack the Dems with broad-brush accusations. You have a wonderful opportunity to talk to your Trump neighbors' about the lies and mendacity of the GOP, yet here you are pushing those same attacks in these comments because you seem to believe them yourself. You condemn all Dems for the words of some on the left—when many of those same people spouting that shit don't even affiliate with the Dems.

When it comes to the police, I've had good interactions and unpleasant interactions. When they think you are the victim, they are incredibly helpful. When they think you are at fault for something, they aren't. Cops can also be their own worst enemies, supporting and protecting bad apples who abuse their badges and voting for the party who would militarize them yet make it easy for criminals to get guns, refusing to vote or voting no on any and all gun legislation unless it means more arms in schools, bars, churches, and on the streets.

GOP wants criminals to have guns. That's an easy slogan Dems should be using because it's true!

You know what kills Dems at the polls? People who are too lazy to vote in every election, or mad cause they didn't get everything they wanted and stay home, or only vote for the top candidate and don't bother with the rest of the ballot. Lies also kills Dems at the polls, and one of the things Eric does is point out how the media is failing us by not only allowing but helping those lies to spread.

Most of us here admire Eric's work to hold media accountable. The press is the fifth pillar and essential to our democracy and most of our major outlets are failing our country. Critics and analysts like him point this out using examples every day.

As for your own language, using terms like lovefest and fanboy are dismissive and belittling. I don't think your arguments are incoherent, I think they are misguided and wrong.

You have not one good word to say about Democrats. Not one good word. And we're supposed to believe you ARE one? LOL. And I'm a woman too, sweetheart.

How do I know you're actually a victim of domestic violence, hon? And how do I know that's actually your real name? Puh-leeze. Anyhoo, no Democrat spouts talking points we've all been hearing from the right wing for months. Either you're lazy or a phony. I vote for the latter.

Yes I am a fan of Eric. I appreciate what he does. I'm used to insults and when someone does them I will put them on ignore.
