Scott Adams podcast (rumble) go to 30:35
Synopsis: it's not Sam Harris, it's the fake news that is the problem.

Harris admits he wasnt very clear, tried to explain on twitter...

There is a podcast clip circulating that seems to be confusing many people about my views on Trump (which is understandable because I wasn’t speaking very clearly). So, for what it’s worth, here is what I was trying to say: 1/6
quote:
I was essentially arguing for a principle of self-defense (where there’s a continuum of proportionate force that is appropriate and necessary to use). I’ve always viewed Trump as a very dangerous person to elect as president of a fake university, 2/6
quote:
let alone the US, and when he became a sitting president who would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power, I viewed him as more dangerous still. (However, I’ve never been under any illusion that he is Orange Hitler.) 3/6
quote:
On the podcast, I was speaking narrowly about the wisdom and propriety of ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop story until after the election. I’ve always thought that this was a very hard call, ethically and journalistically. 4/6
quote:
But given what happened with the Anthony Weiner laptop in the previous election, I think it was probably the right call. 5/6
quote:
Nothing I said on that podcast was meant to suggest that the Democrats would have been right to commit election fraud or take other illegal measures to deny Trump the presidency (nor do I think they did that). 6/6

Does this guy believe himself?

The one thing Harris is known for is clarity of thought and speech. He was crystal clear.
This is his attempt at finessing his first comments, and all it did was make it worse.
Truth is, Sam gave into his TDS years ago.

Then Adams is wrong, because they're both problems. This "by any means necessary because Orange Man Bad" has already led to some pretty evil shite and Harris is saying "yeah but it's worth it".

I dont care how he explains it.
Sam Harris is too fricking smart to get a pass on thinking hunter biden laptop should have been shelved.
By his logic it should be investigsted by now. And its not. Why is that, Sam? You smarmy dip shite.

The ends justify the means. This is the Democratic mantra.

3. Sam Harris

his "clarification" made it worse to be honest. i've never been a huge fan of him compared to others on the IDW, but he cemented himself in favor of dishonesty for the sake of his own considered gain.
No matter how bad Trump was in his mind, making sure bad news about the other candidate doesn't come to light is just dishonesty and cheating by another name.

He sounds like he's doubling down. It's a tough journalistic call to spike a huge political story because it might influence voters to vote in a way you don't like? I'm not sure he's walked anything back, it sounds like he's just added more polish.

He doesn't have any ethics. He is a Machiavellian piece of human trash.

Ethically and journalistically.
We are taking about the same people who have not apologized a single time for “Russian collusion”, giving the Steele Dossier a minute’s coverage, going ballistic about an accusation of quid pro quo when Biden is actually on tape admitting it?
That kind of ethics and journalistic integrity??
quote:
4/6 quote: But given what happened with the Anthony Weiner laptop in the previous election, I think it was probably the right call. 5/6
So the Weiner laptop exposed the SOS breaking the law and it reflected on her.
And the Hunter Biden laptop outlines how Biden was getting “10% to the big guy”, Hunter traveling with his father and somehow coming back with lucrative business dealings, proved Biden lied about not knowing associates of Hunter Biden, and all of which points to personal gain in political office.
Two separate crimes.
Oh but it cost them the first time…. Got to bury the second time. More ethical and journalistic integrity there. Must convince the pure idiots that the US almost fell on 01/06/2020. Just NOT at all to blame a main antagonist on video that has somehow escaped all scrutiny.. and is even getting sympathy from the media. More ethics and journalistic integrity.

He comes off as an intellectual lightweight, as well. Using a phrase like "infinitesimally small" is sophomoric fodder. He actually said that any corruption concerning Joe Biden (acknowledging the likely veracity of Ukraine and China kicking back money through Hunter) is infinitesimally small compared to Trump University! Besides being profoundly inaccurate in his use of language, it's not even a valid point to make! Foreign agents buying influence through corrupt deals isn't that big of a deal?
