Cmon man. It's not hard to understand. They're working from home because Covid is real and concerning, and then going on air and saying it's not and arguing against the same distancing majors in places like schools.

You mean how the Fox news hosts have a clear disregard for public health during a deadly pandemic when it isnt them that needs to be working aorund people?

So I Guess Fox is my like? Or is that just the propaganda oozing out of your hogsides

Actually, they have to work from home, whether they want to or not, because the studios where they film their shows, or the blue cities/states where the studios tend to be located, are mandating it. Dito for them being vaccinated.

Do I think that the Fox hosts believe in their own bullshit about covid being a hoax and completely harmless? Of course not. Do I think that they would be vaccinated even if they didn't need to be for their work? Yes.
But at the same time, I can totally see guys like Tucker giving a damn about non-compulsory work from home or social distancing recommendations.

In any case, what you said was not the argument horford was making.

That's actually not a contradiction at all. Studies from all sorts of countries show that remote learning is not working properly for a huge percentage of children, particularly those from poor, non-white, immigrant or uneducated families. Remote learning is okay for the kids from privileged families where the parents can work from home and tend to them at the same time, have the education level to help them with their classes and fill in gaps that remote learning creates, and so on. For everyone else, it's a total disaster.

Therefore, there are damn solid reasons to oppose school closures or excessive distancing requirements. In education settings, distancing has a huge negative impact. By contrast, producing a TV show from home instead of a studio, or in a socially distanced setting instead of a live audience, only has a very marginal negative effect on its quality.

Republicanism: 45th WH official says live on air if only those darn rioters didn't storm capitol hill and smear s*** all over the walls then we would have been able to execute the 'GreenBay Sweep' and install electorates in battleground states to literally steal the election by subverting democracy..

A pub arguing for pro education wow this is a new one.

And no it doesn't work like that. You can create strawman oppositions which allows you to validate your way of thinking but again you are only proving the strawman argument regarding the quality of education over the importance of life itself.

Not to mention you are now for some reason pro education and are saying teachers are so damn necessary yet those fox news mangos are making 7 figures and teachers barely make a livable wage. If teaching is so important why do they get paid dog shit and pub government actively passes laws to take away school funding. Or actively pass laws in Florida that cuts off funding for schools where people are dying too much and want to stop the spread by implementing work/school from home.

Having disagreements on how to enforce border security is not the same as "Open borders" and you know that. Democrats have consistently supported funding for border security and fencing when it makes sense, as well as funding programs to improve the lives of people in the countries people migrate from in an effort to curb the conditions that promote illegal immigration. You're better than this bogie or you were a decade ago.

Setting up your opponent as a strawman so that you seem reasonable by comparison is the oldest trick in the book. The argument was never build the wall or open borders.

Taken straight from the Democrats website:



https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/the-issues/immigration-reform/


Biden does not want to prevent immigrants from entering the country, is actively trying to stop policies which prevent them from entering the country, and does not want them deported once here.

If your point is only that Biden does not openly refer to his own policies as "open borders", granted, that would be a step more suicidal to his political fortunes than he's willing to endure.

What's interesting is that Biden was one of the most conservative of the major democratic candidates on immigration policy. Every other serious candidate was far to his left. What we're seeing today is quite literally the most right immigration policy that the modern democratic party can bring itself to accept.

That just doesn't jive with reality. Saying Biden's policies in effect are open borders if not name just isn't true. Rolling back Trumps most inhumane border policies for humanitarian reasons doesn't make him in favor of open borders.

Republicanism: Republican infighting between a show host and a senator results in Republican show host berating the senator for saying the 'wrong words' because he accurately called jan 6 a Terrorist attack.
