@hightor,
That ‘did he or did not lunge’ story gets on my damn nerves.
In the scope of things that Hutchinson testified about, that story is the least significant, but it gets the most play. Because (those defending giving it so much attention say) it’s an indication of the veracity of all her testimony.
Well, that’s bullshit too - she said clearly it was something that was relayed to her, not something she witnessed herself. All the rest of her testimony is things she heard or experienced herself, that were said directly to her, or that she herself overheard. They give this story so much play because it’s gossipy clickbait. What we need to be laser focused on is what the most important audience member for these hearings - one Merrick Garland- is going to do at their conclusion.
It’s exactly like the way the media made so much of the leak about the SC Roe decision - who leaked? And, why did they leak? And, what does the leak say about the security of the information? And on, and on… While the thing we should have been laser focused on was what the **** we are going to do when they strike down Roe, and what the **** striking down Roe is going to mean.
The media insults everyone’s intelligence and plays stupid ******* games, and we validate their editorial decisions by plugging right in to the gossip and passing it on, instead of trying to hold them more accountable to do the job they are far better equipped to do than
we are - get at the hard truths and report them!
