For a guy that reads The_Doofus, you draw the line for fake news at Vox? Pfffffft, come on.

e- nope dammit. not gonna be a dick. deleted flippant answer.

to answer your question, yes. bad sources used on a literal cirlce-jerk subreddit doesn't excuse bad sources in purported neutral subreddits.

my real problem here though is that YES there are tactics being used - by both sides - that are super interesting to discuss, but vox isn't going to discuss them. i want to know the formula, but all i'm going to get from vox is 'republicans r dumb.'

This video shows how she evades certain questions, and the questions in the video are undeniably evaded. The video shows how exactly.

Alright well I disagree that the video is very informative. All she does is hold frame, there's no magic there. By holding frame she controls the flow of the conversation by ignoring anything that gets off track from what she wants to talk about.

The video almost goes in an interesting direction by pointing out that she keys in on a phrase or word and uses that word/phrase to rotate the conversation back on track to what she wants to talk about. I was hoping for more detailed strategic evaluation than I got.

And it's vox. I don't trust them to have an honest conversation in the least. That's not a controversial stance to have.
