(59,629 posts)CBS said that fake quote.
Satire and sarcasm work best when it's obvious that's what you're doing.
If you argue that the fake quote in your OP is "exactly" what Weiss said, as you did just now replying to me, you undermine the point you're trying to get across.
I'm glad you at least didn't claim in the OP that your fake quote was "exactly what Weiss is saying" because that's simply factually wrong.
I can't stand Weiss. But if you're going to put words in someone's mouth, to make a point, you should still make it clear it isn't a real quote. Otherwise you're making a straw man argument against something they didn't say.
It's better to simply go after Weiss for what she has said. And for apparently letting the Trump regime simply kill stories by not responding.
