Harris/Walz campaign sends reporters a parody 'Media Advisory' about Trump's news conference today.
@w7voa Best campaign ever for snark. Judiciously administered.
@w7voa It's starting to feel like punching down at this point, they have to be careful.... but maybe that's just my "the Trump / Vance / Republican campaign and policies are so terrible and pathetic it's just sad" bias.
@w7voa Parody? Seems pretty well fact-checked to me.
@w7voa Gold!

@GottaLaff @w7voa

This is the type of thing that worked very well for John Fetterman. I wouldn’t doubt for a second it’s the same Public Relations team.

@w7voa Fantastic! They some how held back from throwing shade at the media for the atrocious job they did at the last scheduled meltdown event in the Florida swamp.

#WeirdDonOLD's team will again set it up so the journalists' questions are inaudible on TV and they will carry his "old man yells at cloud" themed lie-fest for an hour with no fact checking.

@w7voa a broad hint that they should cover it more truthfully, perhaps?
@w7voa @lisamelton “Venue: Not a battleground state” 🤣🤣

@lisamelton @heidilifeldman @w7voa Do we know the distribution for these fantastic press releases? Do they actually go out to all the media outlets?

So relieved that someone media and culture savvy is on the Harris team! ☄️

@3x10to8mps @lisamelton @w7voa I know the Washington Post gets them.

@lisamelton @heidilifeldman @w7voa Very reassuring!

I want to make sure all the "journalists" who refuse to use the word 'lie' and who treat him as a normal candidate -or even the preferred candidate- to see how it should be done

@w7voa These keep getting better.

@w7voa

Harris and Walz are out talking to unions to get boots on the ground for GOTV. Trump is ranting on TV to his base while pissing off everyone else who just wants to watch their shows.

@w7voa this seems to merely be accurate. No parody in sight...
@w7voa Whoever is writing these is clearly earning their pay every day.

@w7voa

Whaddya mean “parody”?

@w7voa
Is it really parody if it's completely truthful?
Seriously, the Harris/Walz campaign are the only ones putting out honest, helpful information. (That includes this media advisory).

"FOR PLANNING PURPOSES RELUCTANTLY" 👩🏾‍🍳 💋

@w7voa

@w7voa Can't tell if official or parody.

Harris Walz Media Advisory:

FOR PLANNING PURPOSES RELUCTANTLY
August 15, 2024
***MEDIA ADVISORY***

TODAY: Donald Trump To Ramble Incoherently and Spread Dangerous Lies in Public, but at Different Home

TODAY at 4:30 p.m., Donald J. Trump, loser of the 2020 election by 7 million votes, will hold another public meltdown in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Date and Time ‘Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
Venue Not a battleground state
Preview Not so fresh off NABJ, Florida, and Twitter glitches, Donald Trump intends to deliver another self-obsessed rant full of his own personal grievances to distract from his toxic Project 2025 agenda, unpopular running mate, and increasing detachment from the reality of the voters who will decide this election.
These remarks will not be artificial intelligence, but they certainly will lack intelligence. Banning abortion, raising costs on families, confusing basic facts, cutting Social Security and Medicare, blocking border security, and being publicly unstable, unfit, and unwell will not help his struggling campaign for president.
Tune in for the same old thing.

@BenAveling Thank you! Saved me from doing the same thing re: supplying alt text.
@w7voa Should have said "Venue: Not the Four Seasons"

@w7voa It would be really useful if the Harris campaign would publish all their press releases on their own website.

I just realized that you are probably a verified journalist with the Mastodon instance you are on, but googling for the text passages of the thing to protect against fake news showed mostly posts on social networks, 🤷

Lucky for me, the news networks have posted about this on their sites, but it was not trivial to verify.

@w7voa It's not like the democrats plan to squash #Donold via lies or fakenews, they are using a heavy dose of light on the old cockroach.

So a list of all press releases on their website, so everyone can verify what the official communications of the campaign would be useful.

@w7voa how did they publish?

@w7voa

Parody?

Are we going back to the Jon Stewart days, where only the publicly self-admitted fools speak the truth?

@w7voa @GottaLaff The press has been willing to publish Trumps constant stream of crude provocations - they love it because it sells. With this Harris is putting the press on notice by giving them what they appear to really want. When they get serious maybe she will sit down for a few interviews.
@Grovewest She'll do her press thing after the convention @w7voa

@w7voa +1 the “not a parody” replies

It’s humorous, but it’s not a parody

It fits squarely in the “insult comedy” genre

@w7voa Not a parody, a truthful statement from an awesome campaign team!
@w7voa Just assuming this is humour. But still - have 4 Seasons Landscaping reached out yet??
@w7voa Personally I love these. While snarky, it's all true. Where are they posted by the team and do you know if anyone is archiving them anywhere?
@w7voa I would focus on the Insurrection and his threat to democratic first and the kick ass Biden-Harris economy!
