Just watch that segment. It's uncomfortable and embarrassing and shockingly confrontational and- and we need that. We need it here in the US. We need reporters who straight up cut someone off if they spread already debunked misinformation in an interview. We need reporters calling it like it is- backed by well sourced citations. We need a zero tolerance policy on typical politic speak so a candidate can't even get a word out unless they are speaking in direct terms and concretely about their actual policies. No room for fluff. Fluff got us here. Shave it off.
