If I handed you 2 sets of data and said oh btw this first set of data is biased and partially falsified, would you even bother looking at the second set? It's already been shown that he lies to and persuades these people into saying things they may not 100% agree with. It makes me question the accuracy and integrity of the entire show. That's where my issues lie. People are going to take this show at face value, word for word.

What kind of question is that?... I'd look at both and wait for a 3rd and 4th...

He lies/tricks people into the situations... It's also clear he had people reading scripts at parts, but that at the very least shows how stupid/gullible they are and the fact they had no problem reading the scripts makes me question their morals in some cases.
There are parts that clearly shouldn't be taken word for word, others obviously should. The guy laughing about a muslim getting shot for praying in his yard for example, which is also the same guy who laughs about how "you can't rape your wife"... That was obviously not scripted, and both are pretty common racist/sexist views among conservatives.

Really excited for this, he interviewed a bunch of politicians including: Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Bernie Sanders, Roy Moore, and at least a few others: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/15/entertainment/who-is-america-review/index.html
Quote:
Sarah Palin, Alabama politician Roy Moore and former congressman Joe Walsh are among those who have lashed out at Cohen in advance, essentially turning themselves into ambassadors for Showtime's marketing department.
Thoughts?

I dont know why you guys are covering for them, if you put me in the same situation I'd disagree with everything I disagree with. This is an absurd argument.

Are you serious? For one I said "in some cases", and there absolutely is some correlation.
There's this thing where you say "hey, maybe even on a script talking about arming 3 year olds is going too far". For every guy he got to show support for arming kids (there were at least 5-10 or so) how many refused? I'd hope at least a few.

I actually know lots of librarians, and I can’t think of any who are racist cops. In fact, most librarians I’ve met have a bent towards liberal ideology.
Or were you trying to say “libertarian”?

Fucking Christ, I swear this site is just a slow documentation of my retardation.
Or atleast my inability to proofread anything my phone pops up with for the autopredict or whatever.

This show looks like it’s going to be pretty good. It’s based on deception and messing with them so I won’t take it too seriously.

The next episode is out apparently, here's a quote from it:
Quote:
“A Message to Terrorists from Rep. Jason Spencer” comes in the form of a post-credits sequence. “All you damn sand-n*ggers over in the Middle East, we are tired of you coming to America and we are tired of you trying to threaten us,” he says, inexplicably wielding a knife in front of a green screen. “We will cut off your dick, you understand? We will take your dick and we will shove it in your mouth,” he adds, taking an aggressive bite out of a large sausage. “How are you going to rape children and women without a dick?”
