Sure. Which would make him like, frankly, most politicians as an interview subject. I can’t imagine Bernie Sanders would answer something like this smoothly, and I would love to see Twitter’s reaction if she tried something like this with him (or, god forbid, a female politician of color).

They seemed to find an angle on pretty much every president since the show started. Obviously, we all like some better than others, but I think Biden theoretically offers a lot of grist.

it’s probably better for everyone that it rests up until there’s another easy target in sight.

Well, let’s see what happens in the actual episode—maybe he gives an answer right after the pause, in which case this is even less of a story than it already was, which would be saying something.

You’ll probably get more likes than mine because you said “go fuck yourself” (I gave you one too, to get you started), but if anyone wants to read the actual post, I wasn’t referring to that specific question as an example, necessarily. More, her whole approach to interviewing in general.

if the end result is unflattering to her subjects, that typically winds up being on them

The AV Club: “You get what you pay for.”

They get only as far as Desert Inn in Las Vegas before the dream evaporates. In peak form—which is to say, in this film and in Modern Romance

Not that I’d expect any different, but has anyone even tried to look into how else the AP has enforced this, and on whom? Depending on what the answers are, their decision based on something she tweeted while working for the AP that was clearly expressing a bias may not be as objectionable, and it may not be a matter…

“Let’s be more like the right, and welcome the ridiculous factions of our party with open arms” is not where I saw this winding up.

I don’t know where you’re getting this idea that I’m a conservative. Technically speaking, I’m on the left, just not “The Left,” the group I think most liberals are a little embarrassed by.

That wasn’t my issue with it. Pretty much everything else was. It was apparent for a while that they would be incorporating it, either implicitly or explicitly. Plus, it’s a Michael Schur show.

Gave you the star you’re looking for.

“Scary” isn’t the adjective I’d use.

Getting the main character’s name wrong? Snark with no discernible target (take that...Summer Olympics!)? Signaling virtues multiple times in two paragraphs? Presenting leftist gospel like it’s a universal precept (cops are bad)? That’s got to be a bingo.

That was before the frozen yogurt thing. They needed a new one.

Fair enough, but my point is even someone who wouldn’t generally be a target has the ability to recognize that something exists even when they aren’t personally threatened by it.

I’m surprised she didn’t find a way to work “gaslighting” in there at least once. It felt like it was coming.

Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.

At the risk of sounding like a hack stand-up comic: When was this convention where every woman in the world got together and voted that “gaslit” was going to be the get-out-of-jail card for justifying things you did that you now wish you hadn’t?
