[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is rather funy. The left entirely misunderstands the point, or perhaps it was done on purpose.

Mr Rogers is a TV show made for kids. While it has had its notable moments, it is a show that mostly avoids serious adult topics of the times. Notice I said mostly. And that's exactly how the Biden townhall was, an artificially toned down show made for children, or for those with the mental capacity of children.

I love Mr Rogers - I watched his shows while learning English as a teenager.[/quote]

Did you watch Biden’s town hall?  I have no idea why you would describe it as “an artificially toned down show made for children.”

It wasn’t R-rated, and there wasn’t gleeful talk about assaulting women.  But it was s straightforward discussion of policy, appropriate for the event.[/quote]

Can't believe I have to spell this out. Mr Rogers episodes are highly produced, with predefined topics and little if any challenges between the host and guest. There are no disagreements, no confrontation with opinions from different and competing points of view. This is exactly what the Biden townhall was. As such it is produced for people who are not engaged to expand their understanding, but simply to have their existing bias confirmed. [/quote]

I can't believe you couldn't understand the depth and significance of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.  Based on your assessment, I doubt you ever watched it.

On the other hand, you have the Trump presidency, which is more like an unending, hellscape version of the Apprentice.  Let's have a highly-edited bunch of fiction and manufactured drama dressed up to imitate real-life, sell these lies as authentic, use it to celebrate the worst aspects of human nature and to feed the ego of one of the world's worst toxic narcissists.

Hmm, which show do I want...[/quote]
