Episode notes
Media Sensationalized A Nonviolent Incident
- Major outlets amplified the vinegar incident into a dramatic attack by using vague language like "strong smelling liquid."
- Stu Burguiere argues that once the liquid was known to be apple cider vinegar, the story's sensational framing became unjustified.
Don't Rush Public Figures
- Avoid getting physically close to or confronting public figures because such actions are dangerous and unnecessary.
- If you know someone considering this, warn them that rushing a speaker is a terrible idea.
Temporal Proximity Isn't Proof
- The New York Times linked the vinegar incident to Donald Trump without evidence, implying rhetorical responsibility.
- Stu highlights that temporal proximity doesn't prove causation and criticized that leap.
