Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In the end this won't matter because Fox viewers are not going to listen to anything that's being said beyond superficial positive/negative framing. So since the anchor said he is bad they'll think he's bad.
Objectively though yes, the video is funny and Walz does come out looking good and not bad despite it being a "hit piece".
If that's what Fox News is going to roll out as a hit piece, Tim Walz is unassailable.
I think it's very telling that through his tenure in office here in Minnesota, the local QGOP's best attack against him is that he spends money (on good things) and his tax policy produced a surplus (because he fixed the deficit).
He is a vet, a devoted family man, and an avid fisherman and hunter.
He's exactly what they fear most. A blue collar progressive.
So he's not unassailable. You can attack his policies. But the problem is, they're fairly popular and have made Minnesota safer and more prosperous than all our red and purple neighbors.
I will add that the local media in MN has cast Minneapolis/STPL downtowns as a horrifying, unsafe, ruinous hellscape following the riots that followed the murder of George Floyd. This has in the last year or so become less impactful as rural folk have started coming to the city again for sports games, etc. But that is another attack vector I've seen them get some mileage out of.
Of course they'll hate him no matter what for being a Democrat. But if the best they can do is a "hit piece" that could only cause him to gain support, not lose any, they shouldn't be doing them at all.
