Last night, CNN made a huge case out of the fact that Fox News' Tucker Carlson mispronounced Kamala Harris' name -




I cannot find the exact location on the YouTube video (apologies), but Biden did the same thing during his speech introducing Harris and of course CNN said nothing about it at all -

I agree, this is not a big deal. If I'd heard the first 20 seconds I wouldn't have noticed at all. On a 1-10 of all the horrible sh!t Carlson has spewed, this doesn't rate.

It just means of course that 'liberal' media can also make a big deal of nothing. Sorry, the internet isn't broken over this.

Not only could you not be bothered to find the point in question in the 40 minute Carlson video, you didn't in the 60 minute Biden video either. You also don't have anything about CNN making "a huge case" about anything, either footage of that or at least any kind of commentary on what they actually said. How can you expect anything from all of this thread beyond people blindly jumping on your "CNN bad" bandwagon? Unless that was the point of course.

(Please don't presume I'm defending CNN here, my argument is for a better quality of thread on the forum regardless of the topic)

Joe Biden Introduces Kamala Harris as VP Pick | NBC10 Philadelphia - YouTube

I found the link where Biden mispronounces Harris' name and of course, CNN says nothing about it -



To CNN: Even if you apologize to Tucker, you all are still jackasses.

If you were trying to link the video with a timestamp there, it didn't work.

Anyway, you still haven't established anything about what actually appeared on CNN about this so we're still in no position to discuss the purported topic of the thread. The forum would work so much better if people sorted all of that kind of thing out before starting the thread.

I don't know about CNN...those youtube videos seem to be gone...but my go-to left wing media aggregate site has sure made a big deal of Carlson's faux pas, as well as that former Clinton adviser.

See the video here...

Tucker Carlson Repeatedly Mispronounces Kamala Harris' Name

I'm with Carlson..."I’m not going to attempt to pronounce Senator Harris’ name ever again because I don’t want to be accused of being disrespectful, which I’m not.”

Interesting video on Smollett, I read recently he was tight with Cumala and Cory, don’t be surprised they were in on his bull**** scheme.

I have been miss pronouncing her name since day one, and so has most of the media by looking at it.
