Why is KBTX local reporter covering the Trump rally at all? This is stuff that you pick up off the AP wire for the local news.

Rusty…stick to posting local traffic wrecks and restaurant grade reports. That is what you get paid for. Keep your national politics to yourself.

Shouldn't he know his own audience better than he does?

Oh and respond to his tweets with what George Lopez said at Kamala's rally yesterday. It defeats the whole manufactured outrage

This guy is reporting a standup routine as a political speech? Good grief.

The "news" business features a lot of people with frail intellect and they have learned from their national counterparts that they can enjoy an air of superiority by making moralistic judgments and pretending there is news in it.

Anyone see Rusty's tweets on Kamala's husband knocking up his family nanny or slapping around his girlfriend or Kamala telling Christians they didn't belong at her rally? I must have missed those.

Labeling something crude and racist is propagandistic opinion. Not reporting

I doubt Rusty has ever said a thing negative about harris. Report it both ways if you are going to start this rusty.

He's gay. Not a high % he's a Trump supporter. He's a news reporter. 100% chance he's biased.

He needs to learn how to delete tweets.

I think he also has baited them with the 1 yr jail sentence for burning the flag.

Haven't seen them bite on it yet but it would be such a failure to try to bust him on wanting to protect the American flag

From what I've seen, he is sassy and is either thinking he's untouchable or is wanting to be moved off staff.

Because he desperately craves to be more important than he really is.

I'm thinking he's wanting to be fired at this point. His Twitter responses are trolling and inflammatory

As the resident Boricua on this board, I'm going to have to see some receipts on the PR is a floating island of garbage comments.

Anybody with a link, it would be appreciated.

EDIT: Apparently this was the statement. Screw that guy whoever he is.

I like Walsh, but it's an extremely low probability that Trump would encourage Tony to make watermelon jokes for strategic purposes.

That may be the outcome, dems crying about jokes, but doubtful that was strategy.....it's just that comedian's style.

But how do you feel that he deliberately made fun of many groups and that's his known style of comedy? Or are we against comedy? Or are we against comedy at political rallies?

Exactly. The problem is that he's reporting as if the "insults" were made in a political speech without mentioning that the comments were made in the context of a standup comedy act. That's misleading and disingenuous. That's why people no longer trust the media. And KBTX now falls into the fake news category. He's damaged the KBTX brand and reputation.

That's pretty relevant to outrage though.

He said it to do just that because it is his ACT

I don't know that it's some master 4D chess strategery, but it's certainly playing out that the bullets the dems are choosing to fire right now are that DJT is literally Hitler at MSG and fact-checking comedians live on stage.

She's going to get smoked.

Must be a fun guy at parties. No ability to be self deprecating in a comedic setting. Oozes great personality.

There are tons of comedians I don't care for, in fact I would guess probably most. It's usually easy enough for me to avoid them, and I choose to do so.

But that's not remotely the issue here. Rusty went out of his way to use his platform to provide partial context and push a false narrative on something he doesn't typically cover. And then he doubles down with "just the facts ma'am" attitude when folks called him on it.
