"I wanted to learn more from him. Why was he so angry?"
No you didn't. He's angry because you twist words, lie frequently and are not worth trusting or listening to. There's like 10 good journalists out there who actually want to tell the story as is, rather than proselytize. And I'm pretty sure that's an overestimate.
There's a huge likelihood that you are not one of them.
He had no intention of learning from him, but slandering him, then using it to black-mail him, and lose his job, and break up his family. That is the primary purpose of journalism.
Frankly, this. Anyone still working at the Washington Post is either too stupid to know what the company they work for does, or is ideologically possessed.
Either ditch the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" tagline, replacing it with "DNC Propaganda Outlet", or start commenting on the actual current state of government and we'll talk - maybe.
Residents gushed over videos of Walz’s son, Gus, at the Democratic National Convention crying, clapping and declaring, “That’s my dad!”
This so forced it hurts. I'm sure the same people also mocked the shit out of Baron back in the day for having the arrogance to exist and be a sleepy child at midnight in that one video after Trump was elected.
These days, it’s easy to read some newly planted yard signs with a tone of resignation: “Harris-Walz: We Understand the Assignment.”
It took Israel for some of these people to realize they are literally owned and their own party considers them such. And they literally don't care, because the brainwash runs that deep that being disrespected and owned is better than being a filthy Rightie.
“I absolutely love what I do for a living,” said Joseph Kirk, a tall, goateed man in his early 40s who sometimes dons a fedora. He is the elections supervisor in Bartow County, Ga., in the Appalachian foothills.
A literal living reddit personification controls the elections in Georgia. Which says enough about how fucked they are.
I’ve been so preoccupied with wringing my hands, bemoaning the state of things, that I’ve forgotten my most important job as a parent: to be an example.
It took a literal "Passions Civic" class their kid was taking to remind this parent how parenting works. This is an admission that they had spent probably 4-8 years prior literally blackpilling their kid and breaking them down about how evil Trump and his base it, and have successfully brainwashed them into good little Lefties that their uber rich parents can be proud of.
Others eyed me through cracked front doors with suspicion. “My views are my own,” a man wearing a National Rifle Association T-shirt said.
The NRA types are more hat wearers than shirt wearers. This guy should try to do more research before he concocts a fake story. Nor would an NRA guy not jump at the chance to be an obnoxious asshole to some Leftie at his door, as if he was smart enough to keep quiet he wouldn't still support the NRA.
“Fake news! Communist rag!” he shouted. “I don’t talk to communists.” And walked out. The mother said softly, “He gets all his information off the internet; he has very strong views.”
Really not doing the "communist rag" label any favors when you keep making up literal caricatures. Every single line from his section has nearly perfect examples of cliche, stereotypical examples and quotes from what a Woke Leftie thinks the Right looks/sounds like.

Take a look at yard signs.
One thing that's surprised me is how many Leftist yard signs are not just saying "Harris". I've seen a ton more which are ideological proclamations of faith. I first started seeing the "Hate Has No Home Here" a few years ago, but now a lot more, and a lot other trigger phrases:
"Stop Project 2025"
"Understood The Assignment"
"I'm a veteran, not a sucker or loser"
"Hate Has No Home Here"
(all of the above)
The all of the above one is the one that has basically all the mantras at the same time colored in rainbow colors. It's the one that says:
"Black Lives Matter"
"The Science Is Settled"
"Love is Love"
"No One Is Illegal"
"Believe Women"
etc
It's the Literal NPC declaration of accepting Current Thing
That Rainbow Affirmations sign is pretty old and all the ones I see are clearly from around 2020~. They were cringe then and they get more cringe by the year as each one gets proven false.
I've actually seen very little Leftie signs whatsoever. Most of them are the bog standard Harris/Walz ones that I'm sure they got for free, with quite a few are literally the just Harris ones from the few weeks before Walz was chosen.
But we've also had a rash of people going up and stealing Harris signs (while flipping off the Ring cameras) or just straight up burning them in my area. Which has probably driven most of them underground in their support. I'd call that dangerous and bad, but I've been in the Right through all the bad times and won't shed a tear for people who did or supported being done the same thing to me for decades.
Strange, we haven't seen that at all. Though I think most around me are Boomer-Cons and genuine Romney voters (and a few reformed ones). The kind that think Ted Cruz is a bit radical.
I despise them.
No, but, as such, I think there's been no violence because they're not the type to consider it.
I'm in one of those "hard purple" areas, wherein the next town over is rural farmers and in town itself is full of the type of jobs that are basically pure Red voters, but its also full of Mexicans and the giant university folks (and those that they bring).
So I get the full gamut. Even my own two neighbors are a "OFFENDED LIBERAL?!?!" Trump guy and someone who has in the past year flown Ukraine, Gay, and now Palestine's flag.
Its actually quite amusing to see shifts in public conscienceness happen in real time from it. Like seeing the TDS guy at work go from bullying other people into agreeing with him, to watching his every Media Fed Line get laughed off by complete normies.
Have you also noticed a shift of people being more openly supportive of Trump?
It's taken years, but I think the old "secretly a Trump voter thing because they are intimidated by Leftists" may be actually wayning. There's certainly less generalized political violence against Trump supporters now than there was in 2016 and 2020.
Absolutely. Me and a bunch of guys at work today were literally openly talking about being Conservative and voting for him, despite having never talked politics before to know it was "safe" to do so.
I think there has been a very powerful shift in the Leftist tactic of making Righties feel isolated and odd man out, and thereby never feeling like they could even speak up. Now it seems people know that they aren't outnumbered and can't be shouted down with -ist labels so easily.
And in my personal experience, a lot of these conversations are literally opening on mockery of Kamala. Like she is so bad that people feel compelled to point it out and laugh at her, which then leads to that realization that we were all Trump voting anyway.
Interesting. Around me, it's still mostly "keep politics out of it" just because it can be such a toxic environment. The polarization is just serious enough that we can't even agree on the same shit. I think I mentioned before that I still have friends that think Trump explicitly staged his assassination.
Having normal conversations with people that captured is genuinely difficult, because you quickly see that they are fully comfortable with joking about their own narrative, and just assumed that you (like everyone they see on television) hold the same opinion.
IIRC I just had one recently where I was talking about the way that the Assyrian Empire basically eviscerated their enemies (mass killings, full scale city razing, complete ethnic cleansing, possibly a genocide, and at one point they literally imprisoned a god), and they were like: "sounds what the Americans did to black people." ... I was just so taken aback by the level of insane hyperbole on that comment, even as a joke, that I just tried to change the subject to something more personal. If we can't agree that blacks were not systematically genocided in a fire-bombing campaign in the US, then we really don't have anything we can agree upon.
BUT, at least we're having fewer instances of interpersonal political violence.
Journo from Pennsylvania who got chased out by someone calling him "fake news" writing for a "communist rag":
"I wanted to learn more from him. Why was he so angry?"
If you havent figured it out by this point Mr. Media Man, I can only conclude you have been living under a rock. Would have been an excellent time for a little introspection (especially since that wasnt the first person who refused to give you the time of day, just the most aggressive), but I am sure you think it was him being "radicalized" by someone or something.
The vice president’s campaign changed everything. Harris-Walz yard signs popped up seemingly overnight,
This is absolutely true. I've very clear a message went out. There were literally NO Biden signs that I saw around me. Then if there was a Trump sign, there was a Harris sign opposite them.
No you didn't. He's angry because you twist words, lie frequently and are not worth trusting or listening to. There's like 10 good journalists out there who actually want to tell the story as is, rather than proselytize. And I'm pretty sure that's an overestimate.

Should be "Why wasn't he angrier?"
These people deserve to be tarred and feathered and they're only getting a raised voice.
Frankly, this. Anyone still working at the Washington Post is either too stupid to know what the company they work for does, or is ideologically possessed.
Either ditch the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" tagline, replacing it with "DNC Propaganda Outlet", or start commenting on the actual current state of government and we'll talk - maybe.
Even if that story was real, he's right to be angry. But I also think it's completely made up.
This so forced it hurts. I'm sure the same people also mocked the shit out of Baron back in the day for having the arrogance to exist and be a sleepy child at midnight in that one video after Trump was elected.

More lies from “journalists.”

Never found that water main break either. So, why did the polling place close, and continue counting without poll observers.
Weird.
Fulton County elections had a court appointed observer that they also ditched, who they were ordered to have present during any proceedings.
They were already known to be so corrupt that the courts had to supervise them.
And did anybody get even contempt of court for ditching that observer? Nope. What a joke.
Florida is following in Seattle's footsteps, and I don't know why.
