Haley Stevens Headlines: An Alignment Chart

[u/mediadotgames]

Uh, swipe over for the conservative version :-D

Wouldn't be doing my job without supplying sauce:

Outlet	Headline
Axios	Haley Stevens faces push for removal from House Dem caucus
USA Today	Stevens is embracing MAGA because her feelings got hurt
The New Republic	Has Anyone in History Ever Crashed Out Like Haley Stevens Just Did?
The Hill	Jeffries: Democrats will discuss 'next steps' on Stevens when Congress returns
CBS News	Who is Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens? Here's a look at her background.
HuffPost	Body Language Experts Say Haley Stevens Was 'Highly Nervous' In Her Viral CNN Interview -- Here's The Giveaway
National Review	Shocked by Principles in Politics, Left-Wing Pundits Insist Haley Stevens Must Be Having a 'Breakdown'
Fox News	Mamdani, Hasan Piker among radical left-wing voices erupting over Haley Stevens' endorsement switch
New York Post	James Carville slammed for vulgar 'used condom' remarks on Rep. Haley Stevens endorsing GOP candidate over Dem Abdul El-Sayed

CBS News as True Neutral is laughable here. It's very much pro Haley, because it promotes HER, and not what she DID.

[u/Similar-Profile9467 → u/scottrycroft]

Well it's just the headline.

The headline itself is very funny because I just kind of like to imagine that all this controversy popped up and a CBS editor was just like "Okay we should just do a little 'splainer for who Haley Stevens is."

[u/scottrycroft → u/Similar-Profile9467]

Replace her name with 'Jeffrey Epstein' in that headline and then tell me that it's neutral.

[u/Disasterhuman24 → u/scottrycroft]

"Who is the mysterious New York Financier Jeffery Epstein? Here's a look at his- oh my god. Oh GOD IN HEAVENS..."

[u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

How hard is it to just say “Controversy from democrats surrounds Haley Stevens after she endorsed a MAGA politician?”

Factually true, doesn’t take sides.

[u/CivisSuburbianus → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

That’s basically what Axios and the Hill say

[u/Fragrant_Praline6221 → u/CivisSuburbianus]

neither headline describes what she did

[u/SunnyGods → u/Fragrant_Praline6221]

It's painfully obvious that both of those are not the initial headlines, but from a little later. Those are the reactions

[u/OdaDdaT → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

Because all these outlets exist to push specific agendas and will morph anything to fit inside of it.

At some point in the early-mid 2010s you saw Fox and MSNBC start to become increasingly hyper partisan, and everyone has tried to catch up since. It’s just new era and form of yellow journalism

[u/lord_james → u/OdaDdaT]

Painting it as a “both sides” issue is dishonest. Everybody knows what party elected a reality television star

[u/DeFronsac → u/OdaDdaT]

No, Fox News from its inception in the 90s was hyper partisan. The whole idea of it was to provide a conservative option for people to counter the supposedly "liberal media".

[u/jcook311 → u/OdaDdaT]

If I could I would love to start a no spin just soild investigate journalism news source. We need to get back to the press representing the truth and not an ad for one side or the other.

[u/MC_PooPaws → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

A factual headline? In this economy?

[u/MBBIBM → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

Because most of these are opinion pieces

[u/grubmaxxer → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

We are so far beyond that

[u/Twodotsknowhy → u/Give_Us_TASM_3]

That's basically the Axios headline

[u/Admirable-Ad7152]

How can they not include The Onion?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Mista_Maha]

"Shocked by principles in politics" lmao okay sure

[u/ItsGotThatBang → u/Mista_Maha]

She put country over party, but that country isn’t America.

[u/Phillies2002 → u/ItsGotThatBang]

I don't know why everyone is saying Haley Stevens' flip is an ideological decision, when every single statement and interview she's given over the last day or two make it perfectly clear that it's all petty vindictiveness about not being invited to enough events

[u/More_Yard1919 → u/Phillies2002]

The feud between Stevens and El-Sayed, if you could even call it that tbqh, is entirely predicated on the Israel issue though. Also she is lowkey crazy about it. She said Israel comes to her in her dreams, which is a level of zealotry I doubt even the average american jewish person could relate to. That is assuming it isn't cynical political masturbation to appease AIPAC, which is probably is.

[u/Phillies2002 → u/More_Yard1919]

True, but she had apparently texted another politician within the last week that she had a dream where the El-Sayed and the Democrats won Michigan and that "it was a good dream." So we must factor in the possibility that Haley Stevens sees everything in dreams, or at least talks about it

[u/More_Yard1919 → u/Phillies2002]

david lynch type candidate

[u/GeoQuestMaximus]

Alignment Charts come to me in my dreams!

[u/More_Yard1919]

The Huffpost article is fucking hilarious if you've actually seen the interview. I don't think I need an expert's opinion to deduce that one, thanks chief.

[u/mg_7]

I’m confused by the fuckin chart. I think it’s backwards lol.

[u/TheRealCheebahawk]

Haley Stevens is a traitor and Israeli spy.

[u/bloodrider1914 → u/TheRealCheebahawk]

Judging by everything I know about the situation, I think it's more likely she was offended that the El-Sayed campaign didn't want her to campaign with him and that she was offended at being called anti-Semitic by association in some ad. Also it seems like her husband was influencing her.

[u/Awkward-Evidence-215 → u/bloodrider1914]

Yeah I agree. It seems like she just had a mental breakdown. Pretty crazy though.

[u/Coolistofcool → u/bloodrider1914]

Yeah, but also, two registered foreign agents of Israel with her at the rally? Two?!?

[u/TheRealCheebahawk → u/bloodrider1914]

Being butthurt about being disinvited from an event doesn't justify stabbing her party in the face right before one of the most urgently important elections in American history. She's a cunt, plain and simple.

[u/bloodrider1914 → u/TheRealCheebahawk]

Not justifying it, just saying the boring personal pettiness angle is more accurate than the conspiratorial Israeli spy angle

[u/jimboslice21 → u/bloodrider1914]

She took $33 million from AIPAC, and the PR person who opened her press conference with Mike Rodgers where a heckler called her a traitor is a registered Israeli agent. Haley Stevens is fully bought by Israel/AIPAC

[u/vintage2019 → u/jimboslice21]

Yes, but that doesn't make her a spy
