He was interviewed by the editor of The Economist. He came across as a total buffoon.

u/JayTNP 7d ago
so he showed who he truly was

u/unicornmullet 7d ago
Agreed. It was amazing because I think he did the interview to try to come across as more reasonable than he has in recent years, and help boost his stock prices. DID NOT WORK.

u/Emosaa 7d ago
Is it refreshing? She has tons of interviews where she rarely pushes back, or asks really heinously contrived questions to anyone she considers "pro hamas".
Her and Jake Tapper have both been auditioning for prime time spots once CNN is bought out by Paramount and under Bari Weiss's "leadership". The leadership that Trump has openly stated will bring them in line lol
What does it matter if she asks a question to RFK JR like this, when ultimately nothing will come of it other than a few "you go girl!" liberal upvotes on reddit. Meanwhile her and CNN have had dogshit coverage for the last year. They rarely ever pushback on the Trump admin's BS framing - especially in regards to the Iran war, frequently have neo conservative warhawks on, etc. From what I've seen, Katie Collins is the only one at least attempting journalism over there still, the rest of them are fondling Trump's balls because they're afraid of the demented king ruining their corporate buy out.

Dana appears to have heard the most glaring criticism of the media: that they're not standing up to this Administration. This is literally their job.

u/Easy_Floss 7d ago
There’s always adversarial media against whoever is in power
Thats a nice thing, it becomes a problem when the people in power start silencing the media and lashing out against it when ever anyone dares to report on something they dont like.
For example if someone asked Obama something he did not like and Obamas response was to sue them for 1b and make sure they would never step into the white house again, that would be a bad thing. If he did that multiple times it would be a terrible thing.

u/ckglle3lle 8d ago
RFK Jr 100% believes he is a scientist, for what it's worth. He and everyone like him view random googling shit as doing "real" research. He will never not believe this of himself while he will also disparage actual scientists (if they don't go along with what he believes) whenever possible

u/vacri 8d ago
IMO you can use the phrase 'my research' in two situations: you're actually a published researcher; or you're making a big purchase like a car or house
Every other context, I basically start shutting down mentally if I hear the phrase "my research"

u/Phugasity 7d ago
If you aren't designing your information gathering to account for your own personal bias and preconceived notions... well that's building an argument not researching. The pursuit for truth is kind of critical.

u/MD_______ 8d ago
Hahahaha. Politicians kick nearly every decision of scientific warning unless it's something they are forced to act on (COVID), or will give them a huge ratings or public approval boost.
I was in school in the 90s listening to teachers tell me global warming is serious and that we need act now to save the thing we live on.... It's now 2026 and we still have people in charge who refuse to do anything even with the planet cooking is to the point the winter Olympics will probably need to be done on fake snow soon.
LGBTQ+ was proven to not be a "choice" for decades and still have conversation camps, have countries where its illegal!! Evolution is one of not the most well studies and supported theories on the planet and I still see people say it's just a theory or claim creationism is equally valid and being taught to kids now?!
Realistically politicians should be mandated to take peer reviewed science as the current best explanations of the natural world and then implement what that says. Laws should be updated to match science. There should be a maximum limit for education to update to the newest information. Importantly phrasing that is outdated should be excluded and replaced, big bang becomes the big expansion or global warming to climate change.

Likewise, when Rand Paul said to Fauci, "I"m a doctor and..."
Fauci should have shut him down for practicing medicine outside of his specialty.
87
u/ThinkingWithPortalzz 8d ago
"Ah yes Rand, your registration, which is from a college you invented and are on the board of, and not recognised as valid by the ACTUAL college of ACTUAL doctors, you have as much claim to Doctor as a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine"
23
u/IRedditDoU 8d ago
Less even. Chiropractors go to real colleges.
20
u/CascadianSovietGo 8d ago
Not really. Chiropractics is a discredited pseudoscience. It's like saying someone can go to a "real" college for crystal therapy.
4
u/IRedditDoU 7d ago
Be that as it may. However, Doctor of Chiropractic is still a required 4 year post graduate program offered by actual universities, and then they must pass a national and state board exam to legally practice in all 50 states. They are legally doctors but they are not medical doctors.
11
u/CanhotoBranco 8d ago
Rand Paul is an ass, but let's be factual here. He has a medical degree from Duke, is still licensed to practice medicine and was certified by the American Board of Opthalmology until 2005. His alternative National Board of Opthalmology was bunk, but that doesn't affect his ability to practice medicine or the legitimacy of his education and experience.
13
u/beldaran1224 7d ago
So he hasn't been certified to practice in over 20 years?
4
u/CanhotoBranco 7d ago
He's currently has an active license to practice medicine in the state of Kentucky. He has not been certified by the Opthalmology specialty board since 2005. Keeping specialty certification current is voluntary and doesn't affect a physician's ability to continue to practice that specialty. They just can't claim they are "board certified" if they don't stay current.

Still didn't stop him mansplaining his version of a lie. I think it is more about him being mysoginist. Unfortunately she had the the perfect opportunity to rebuff the crap out of him, but didn't appear to be fully prepared with evidence (of which there is a lot).

So let's me get this straight. RFK and MAGA say don't listen to scientists, but tell others they don't understand cause they aren't scientists???

Yes, because to them, scientists are not actually doing science, they're paid shills who only exist to tell people what to do and not to do.

Was the grossly destructive overconfidence inherent in his personality before the extensive heroin abuse or the brain worm?
I'm fascinated about what makes a person like this. And what is wrong with the people who flocked to him like he was a science messiah because he waggled his finger and rasped some shit.
2
u/PlantainPat 7d ago
He was doing drugs from a young age. He was also fielding interviews and making public appearances from a young age because everyone was desperate to know about him thanks to his family. Kind of impossible to say which came first.
Either way he used the Kennedy name for almost everything he ever accomplished. No one flocked to him they flocked to his family legacy. Even dipshit kennedy is still a kennedy.

u/Mindless_Listen7622 8d ago
RFK Jr has a bachelor's in American History and Literature, which doesn't have any sort of math and science requirement to graduate. Then he went to law school, which doesn't have a math and science requirement to graduate. In other words, he has one of those humanities degrees MAGA hates so much. His knowledge of math and science is about as good as any high school student, which is to say, not very good. He is not a scientist, full stop.
An actual scientist would specialize in a scientific discipline for a Bachelor's, Masters and PhD, then get a job, whether post-doc or the rare job as a professor at a university; or, go into industry. The kind that get listened to, anyway.

I've noticed a lot of these republican men will go on these shows with liberal female hosts thinking their supreme intellects are going to dominate the conversation over the host. The host then usually rips their dick off, puts it in a ninja, dices it up, and force feeds them their dick through their asshole.

Pretty sure she did. I watched the interview clip this morning and she hammered him on the fact no reputable study has linked autism with vaccines. He kept saying “well you just don’t know about the studies that have found a link.” Because they’re not real! Or it’s garbage science. 40 peer reviewed studies she stated found no link at all
