14. Are you a professional reporter for Salon trying to do a video report, rather than facebook with family & friends?

Then your pink background is great. She's trying to be taken seriously as a journalist so from 1:22 onward and interspersed throughout the video her surrounding herself (not on the brown sofa--pink curtains or no) but in front of shelves of pink teeny bopper kitsch with the pink mini suitcases and other stuffed or ceramic animals around her is damned unprofessional. You made my point. Thank you.

??? Does Amanda Marcotte know that her background is a 16 yo girl's room with pastels & hot pink kitsch? hlthe2b Jun 7 #1

That's an amazingly condescending post. ChazInAz Jun 7 #2

I am absolutely serious. I get her point about the idiocy of MAGA women but how to take HER seriously hlthe2b Jun 7 #3

Wow! Your's is an extremely judgmental and condescending point of view.............. ihaveaquestion Jun 7 #38

I have a right to my opinion as do you. You do NOT have the right to ATTACK me for mine even if they differ hlthe2b Jun 7 #39

And it IS my opinion that your comments are judgmental and condescending. ihaveaquestion Jun 7 #40

Right back at you. Let me know if you decide you can be civil in your discourse in the future. Otherwise I hlthe2b Jun 7 #41

Yes. Corrected. Thank you. hlthe2b Jun 7 #6

That is the point. mwmisses4289 Jun 7 #10

You do know the video is mocking these women, right? (not meaning to emulate? ) hlthe2b Jun 7 #12

Kindly reread my post. I added for you specifcally since you totally missed the point;. hlthe2b Jun 7 #23

The only thing Karch Jun 7 #15

That is the start of the video. 1:22 in is where she is seated in front of a rack full of teeny bopper paraphernalia hlthe2b Jun 7 #18

Love it or hate it, it served it's intended purpose ToxMarz Jun 7 #26

I took it as kind of satirical - there's a skull on the shelf. Ocelot II Jun 7 #28

If it is satirical, I give her credit. She proved my point. Perhaps she'll add a comment to the video. hlthe2b Jun 7 #29

I give her permission to use whatever background she wants. NBachers Jun 7 #5

I don't think she NEEDs either my or your permission. But, I do not need permission to critique it, either. hlthe2b Jun 7 #7

"Nasty idiot" - that's an excellent description. Iris Jun 7 #8

This is turning into a parody thread. NBachers Jun 7 #9

When you suggest the video journalist or ANY woman needs YOUR permission to do anything, then yes, certainly. hlthe2b Jun 7 #16

I can see an option here that nobody has considered. moniss Jun 7 #25

Surely those big red lips behind her signal that this was meant to be part of the satirical backdrop. BattleRow Jun 7 #31

Yes I'm not familiar with her or her "rooms" moniss Jun 7 #43

Excellent observation. BattleRow Jun 7 #46

Apparently women aren't allowed to Bettie Jun 7 #22

Shouldn't Matt Gaetz be included? MagickMuffin Jun 7 #32

Watch the whole thing; they did talk about Gaetz and other men. Ocelot II Jun 7 #35

Thanks for your reply, I hadn't watched it MagickMuffin Jun 7 #42

With the men, it more like Gaetz wants a Liberace makeover. Crowman2009 Jun 8 #49

How ironic Cirsium Jun 7 #33

Too subtle, maybe? Cirsium Jun 7 #36
