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.
he also did his version of ":bless your little heart".


Twice. He used bub because another twitter used it and thought he, Rusty, could sneak by a bub on a different poster , robert, thinking he could weasel out of the "bub" and claim it was to be bob. Then he used Christianity

Reporting what happened but fail to mention a stand up comedian was the one making the jokes. Sure wish KBTX would run him off. He's soft just like the rest of his left wing nut jobs
He's a dip**** leftist who is supported in his leftist newsroom.

I have no idea who this guy is.

So you're going to vote for Kamala now?

I have no issue with admitting the jokes weren't funny. The crowd groaned when he told it, and he made a few comments during the set on how nobody was laughing at most of the jokes being shared on social media in his set. That doesn't mean he isn't typically a funny guy, or that he is racist.


That being said, the reporter not clearly stating it was a comedian telling jokes is laughable for someone wanting to be taken seriously for their journalistic integrity. Him saying "I'm just reporting the news, what's your problem?" Is literally the same response as the "it's just jokes!" crowd.

CNN ON THE BRAZOS!

Rusty has been the pilot that has flown KBTX into the side of the mountain. When the HERITAGE, 800lb gorilla of media in this market can lose SIGNIFICANT market share with NO REAL COMPETITION you make a change.

Sad thing is, he could have done wonderful things here.

Having Tony Hichcliff at a political rally is just not a good idea. His whole thing is insult humor that pushes the limits. Extremely funny on the Tom Brady roast but bad idea here.

Ha Ha

I just put a Trump sign in my yard on Friday.

Saw too many Harris signs popping up in my neighborhood.

There is a book called "White Fragility", there's not a book called "Puerto Rican Fragility".

You left out the Saudi Arabian component which was very influential in my upbringing

I'm further right than you could possibly imagine.

Who owns KBTX. He's likely making his corporate bosses get very happy.

Grey. Right up their alley. They actually had a corporate policy well after any excuse for it to be in place that you must show proof of vaccine in order to enter their building. Certainly that affects what type of people they would allow to come in to be interviewed?

I have flown all over the island of Puerto Rico, from one end to the other about half a dozen times. Absolutely a paradise, a very dangerous place as far as crime but not a ****hole like Hatti. If not for the crime, would be a top retirement location.

I never saw their public trash dump; they must one and it is probably overfilled like all the islands but every few years a hurricane comes thru and magically the trash disappears.

I didn't think the guy was funny, but Trump likes to troll the left and it worked.

Guess he's never seen a Dave Chapelle "political rally"
We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.

I worked at KBTX back in '76
Glad we didn't have X back then.
I wonder if they ever put a floor under the main console?

fun times, made me look at television quite differently.

for those not in the know, Tony is an insult stand up comic who hosts a very popular open mic podcast out of Austin called "kill tony". It's a pretty big deal.

He was one of the better roasters on the Tom Brady special a while back.



It's his whole schtick, edgy, foul, and over the line.

This Mexican laughed at the joke. And I'm sure all non-TDS Latinos did the same. We make fun of each other all the time. This attack will not land with any undecideds.

Rather than posting and making judgements on one specific clip of a rather long comedy bit, take the time to listen to his whole act and then see if you're still indignant.

He is billed as a comedian and "professional roaster". His bit takes pot shots at pretty much everyone. That's what a roast is.

Singling this down to 20 seconds from a 12 minute act is doing what it was designed to do. Don't be so gullible.

And as for the idiot from KBTX, if you're reading this, your original tweet saying that "speakers" at Trump's rally were denigrating Puerto Rico without acknowledging it was one part of a full comedy set is NOT reporting. It's gaslighting. You should know that what you did there is known in legal circles as a "material ommision". You'd better go check a mirror. Your bias is showing.

At lunch, some ABC 13 beeyatch on the TV was saying almost the exact same things. Basically painting it as a racist hate rally
