BTW, what was that like when Stephen Hawking met somebody else with the voice thingy? Would it be like hearing himself and get confusing?

i can't think of another public figure who used it? i mean there are some fictional characters that kind of do. but that doesn't count.

Re: Liberals and the Manufactured Divide
Kane used the voice box thing for a little while before they let him talk. Did not sound like Hawking though. So Kane vs Hawking could have been a good one.

Re: Liberals and the Manufactured Divide
Lol.
Foo should change his user name to Fox as there isn’t a conservative talking point he won’t champion.
Can I also highlight that barring members of the press who disagree with you and limiting their access is the bread and butter if dictators and mirrors the treatment of China and its limitation of the press. You’re turning into a dictatorship with limits to the press.
And finally nothing is more pathetic than the official press secretary releasing a visibly doctored video to pretend to justify this malicious act of cowardice and your country is worse for it happening.

Re: Liberals and the Manufactured Divide
I don't know of any nations that would allow what Acosta tried to do. He was allowed to ask a question, then a follow up question. Then he wanted to start making commentary and the president moved to the next question. He then started to filibuster and refused to hand over the microphone. His network is not banned, as they are the agent with the press credentials. He lost his hard pass, which means he is no longer given the full privileges a respected White House staff reporter would have in terms of unfettered access.

Re: Liberals and the Manufactured Divide
the media is the enemy of the people. the commander in chief encourages violence against reporters. if you challenge his position, you're fake news. accidental contact is "putting hands on" that's where we are now, for better or for worse.
