Ali Vitali just got a velvet slapdown from Sen. Fetterman

[BaronChocula]

She's anchoring Tur's hour and tragically trying to play up drama between Fetterman and Gov. Shapiro. He's not having it.

"I just don't understand why we're talking about a choice that was already made" Fetterman shot back after Vitali speculated over Shapiro's Mideast stance keeping him off the ticket. She further tried to insinuate that there was some intraparty civil war on the issue.

It's a shame. I think she's an ok reporter, but it looks like marching orders for the anchor seat are to drum up drama and not news.

Meanwhile I have yet to see anyone challenge Shay-D Vance on his lies regarding Gov. Walz' military service. This is more MSNBC early block malpractice.

1. She was not going to let it go so he had to get serious with her. Good for him.

2. That was a thing of beauty.

3. I swear. Some news people can't stand not having enough drama to report on. They need to start going

over tRUMP and his operations w/ a fine-toothed comb, and believe me, they'll probably find enough to report on, if they wish to do so. Personally, I think she wants to score a hit on these two and whatever comes to play.

4. It was just awful journalism and I felt embarrassed for her.

Fetterman was annoyed and not having it. Such a ridiculous line of questioning.

5. She needs to stick to her day job at the capital. Not ready for prime time

6. Fetterman's problem with Shapiro, assuming it exists, certainly isn't the fact Shapiro is too pro Israel

and any reporter who has been sentient in the last few weeks should know that.

7. Fetterman is more pro Israel than Shapiro

8. Happy

I quit watching msnbc a couple years ago. I am stressed out enough in my life and don’t need any added stress from idiot reporters like this.

9. The media is acting like this was some daring show

[BaronChocula]

10. I know some might not agree but...

The general permission we see among media personnel to cover Democrats with extraordinarily undeserved scrutiny while, for example, letting coverage of Project 2025 sunset is the same permission (usually white) cops feel to shoot unarmed black men. It's a question of who can you get away with bullying or casting doubt upon in this establishment.

I swear I heard someone ask today while watching Harris/Walz address a CAPACITY crowd "how will they get their message out?"
