MACATL 2,125 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don’t necessarily think this is “gaslighting,” but rather just misleading in order to sensationalize and get clicks. Gaslighting is when you manipulate someone psychologically into questioning an obvious reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathantj594 902 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nothing they said was false, it just wasn’t explained very well. It was one of the shortest speeches and she did not endorse Biden in the speech. They should’ve phrased it better. Clickbait And she never called them fake news either. And Paula Abdul ain’t got [BLEEP] on me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but a mainstream news organiation (with countless resources and staff at its disposal) that intentionally misleads its audience to stir controversy and clicks for its own bottom line counts as fake news to me. Especially when what AOC did was standard operating procedure for literally every convention before 2020 and NBC was very much aware of And when said company with all those staff and resources takes hours to issue a correction, and which has yet to apologize for their mistake, that starts to cross the line into malicious intent to me. NBC knew exactly what it was doing here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
