I watched FOX last night after watching PBS Newshour to see what FOX was covering in Ukraine. The videos of Ukraine were nearly identical to Newshour without the same on location reporting that I saw on Newshour. It seemed FOX viewers were getting close to the same news filming but not the same on location explanations and empathy in the Newshour reporting where additional time was spent.
When the FOX's Ukraine coverage was over, they switched from a single anchor person to a table of four people bantering about with each other. Video showed Biden's announcement banning all Russian gas & oil, which seemed to include important parts of his press announcement. Then a video came on with Pamela Harris making a statement about renewable energy. The video was edited and not flattering to Harris. Then a FOX blonde started the most "dumb blonde" (sorry this is FOX) routines I have seen. I don't watch FOX so I am not used to this dumbing down method to get your audience thinking dumb is smart. The woman said Harris was "out of touch", that Americans need cheap gasoline not $60,000 electric cars, that Democrats are causing fuel prices to skyrocket and don't care about Americans. This went on without any more news reports until my wife demanded I turn off the TV before she chucked it out of our house onto the frozen lawn.
We also installed solar panels on our house more than 5 years ago here in Maine where winters are cloudy, and summers are not clear 100% as they are for our daughter in NM. The state and Federal rebates cut the costs in half. We pay about $12/month for electricity and are still paying off the solar. But we also bought a Nissan Leaf for our local driving, that cost only $15k new after subsidies. There have been absolutely no service expenses, no oil changes, no antifreeze. No trips to the dealer. And we could not have bought a new gasoline engine vehicle for $15k at the time. We didn't pay the "dumb blonde's" $60,000 which she would have done because everyone sitting at that FOX table is paid way more than their brains can keep track of. Out of touch? FOX, as Putin does, has a way of carrying on with brain numbing drivel about imaginary assassins attacking the FOX and Putin world. For FOX, it's "Democrats". For Putin, it's "Ukrainians". FOX calls Democrats "socialists". Putin calls Ukrainians "brothers" led by "Nazis" and then kills them all while real time videos show little old ladies and men trying to escape through bombed apartment rubble, young mothers and children trying to board trains and living in masses of dislocated refugees, and men of all ages with no experience trying to join a military defense. The differences in human values and character between the Ukrainians and the FOX/Putin teams are day and night, or in my mind good and evil.
It works like this: the racist and sexist mind sees a black woman, and what happens next is criticism. A lengthy word jumble and language stew appears, all fabricated out of thin air
She is black. She’s a woman. We don’t want a black and a woman as VP, we want a white man in that role. Everything else is contrived gibberish, just genteel enough to cover up the fact that racism and sexism is the only reason Harris is being criticized.
For those of you who are still reading here, let me also say that Kamala Harris is an absolutely magnificent human being. She’s from California, she was a senator here briefly, and every story I have read about her makes it clear that she is a gem. If she ever becomes our first woman president, it will rock the world.
Good letter David. And I think we have a good Governor.., certainly way better than the repubDUB who will shortly proceed with a Faux (faux news) cam"pain" strategy. Trouble is, here in Maine, we have no shortage of Faux News (FOX) admirers. The Governor is facing a mis-information laden opposition..I hope she will cleverly dispense with it. Each of our United States is facing the same problem. Flush hard.., it's a long way to the "lago"

And I don’t even say that with hyperbole. I really do believe a President Harris would rock the world.

Was this VP Kamala Harris? The only Pamela Harris I can find is a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals judge.
Yes, Pamela is Kamala when spell correct takes over.
Ally, looks like an autocorrect issue to me.
That was what I thought, but I hate to assume.
