And what district is she running in?

Think of her as a hybrid between Rachel Maddow and Desi Lydic

and her presentation is slick as hell! If she gets name recognition, I may go deeper, but for now my only opinion is, 'I'll need to look into her further.'




Off-topic, I wish we had today's recording equipment back in the 80s. What took a week in AV Club to splice can be done in three or four keystrokes these days. Thinking about though, maybe I'm happier we didn't have the instant studio-just-add-iphone back in the day... not sure adult me would be able to live down some of the 20-something me things I did.

AGAIN.

Uggh. Like a NEON sign for INANITY.

Kats grandmother was such a big shot in Texas Republicans politics they flew the flag half mast at the capital when she passed.
. Her father is Palestinian American.

She deconstructs Fox News as good as anyone.

having credible credentials to do what she does. Not just self-proclaim herself (like all the millions of others on YOUTUBE) as an "Influencer," put up a banner and get ad-sponsors to justify her presence online.

There are those online who are credible and those who are not. Self-proclaiming yourself to be an "Influencer" simply blends the grifters with any who are not and most of us really should be appalled at this trend.

So, as far as I am concerned, if the first thing you post or that comes out of your mouth is that you self-identify as an "Influencer," sans any description of what makes you credible, then all the contempt I can muster is fully deserved.

YMMV. But my contempt is very much earned by this trend. She will need more than "influencer-loving" Gen-Z voters to win the office she seeks. So, my message is one she should hear and take to heart.

smacks too much of 'mind control' in my book. Like people are just waiting around on TikTok to be influenced, with no minds of their own.

I could rec this 1,000 times. 😁

we all hate commercials, but somehow INFLUENCERS are popular - WTF

From what I've read about her, it sounds like she'd make a good Dem Congressperson.

(But why did you use the word "influencer" in title of OP?)

Kat Abu is not a damned "influencer". She is a reporter who worked for years for Media Matters for America, covering the insanity of Fox News. After layoffs there she went independent. Her reporting is smart, well-informed and righteous as hell.
