That's a generous interpretation. The question doesn't mention Trump's racism, only Harris's accusations of racism. A truthful response to 'how do you explain so many people's support for a racist?' is politically toxic. The interviewer knows this, and wants to create another Deplorables headline.

I can tell myself the reason for that is newspapers attempt to influence politics, but that they only have influence over Democrats. But it's kinda indistinguishable from wanting Trump to win

I agree that "they want Donald Trump to win" is over simple, but the #1 concern for the 2024 election was age and mental fitness. Then the super old guy who can still make coherent statements dropped out and it's no longer drumbeat coverage.

Thanks for the review - I loooved the dialog-less trailer, but was a little put off by more recent one with dialog. Excited to add it back to the list to watch.

She looked to the camera and said "I am racist", then specified she is the exact kind of racist her defenders are, so they ignored it.

How would you feel about rent stabilization (rent increases limited to inflation) on buildings older than, say 50-70 years? I'm in the northeast where housing is stupid old and expensive. But I guess my apartment also has double-paned windows from a renovation that's disincentivized by that idea 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for this. I was reading Anna Karenina earlier and thought "hmm, that's a weirdly long section about the proper organization and relations between peasants and land owners. Wonder why that is?"
