The answer is not to chastise @KattyKay_ but instead to improve the BBC’s editorial standards (which are normally very good). It’s a genocide. #GazaGenocide
When a journalist who has covered American politics for more than 40 years says he has never seen anything like JD Vance, that’s a statement worth noticing.
Veteran journalist John Harwood wrote:
“In more than 40 years of covering politics I have never seen a more shameless liar than J.D. Vance. He’s utterly amoral.”
Harwood has watched presidents, congressional leaders, scandals, campaigns and political transformations across multiple generations. He covered Washington for The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, The New York Times and CNN.
So this isn’t commentary coming from someone who discovered politics yesterday.
Of course, describing Vance as “amoral” or the most “shameless liar” Harwood has encountered is ultimately an opinion. People can judge Vance’s record and rhetoric for themselves.
But what makes the statement remarkable is the comparison.
After decades covering some of the most controversial politicians in modern American history, Harwood is saying Vance stands out even among them.
That is one hell of an assessment of the Vice President of the United States.
@Mistere21513768@Berlinnaeus Another fine example of the company Tommy keeps.
Glasgow podcaster James English, pal of Robinson, has been found guilty of domestic abuse after brutally attacking his pregnant ex-partner.
Perhaps Robinson can squeeze this one into his next documentary about protecting women.
@skytv Why doesn’t Sky Ireland put a banner up that their customer service X account @SkyHelpIreland is no longer in operation and no longer helping customers?
Binyamin Netanyahu explains to an Israeli audience how he persuaded Donald Trump to attack Iran:
“It took a long time to get the US to come to its senses” but I finally got it to attack Iran due to my “influence” over its leaders through “1000 hours on American television”.
@BBC@ITV Tv shedding viewers to online content yet today, on a B Hol, there is NOTHING to offer viewers apart from the ordinary daily mulch. Used be that a BH would be a feast of TV. Not now. BBC and ITV digging your own graves
So, after a few more days of being told that X will do this, that and the other, it is now safe to assume that it is simply a bare faced lie and that they don’t give a monkeys about what us, their clients, want
“Thanks. X will use this to make your timeline better” This appears when you block/remove a post on your timeline - only the same post appears the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day …….
@IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????
I asked Claude to rank the presidents in these tiers according to the scholarly consensus. Then I asked ChatGPT to make the image.
I did not move anyone according to my own personal preference.
Canadians aren’t afraid of a diaper-wearing sack of lard with yam tits who applies circus-grade face paint every morning, shits in his diaper, and has the vocabulary of a semi-literate toddler.
Yet the GOP still wets itself at the mere thought of defying this fucking idiot.
@RTEsport Enjoying the coverage of the Ladies Golf from The K Club - it’s just a pity the graphics do not tell us of the player’s nationality @gregallenRTE
