Define 'real job', Jesse. Does that include sitting on your arse in front of a camera spewing lies to idiots?

Right? I would consider reporting, i.e putting a bit of yourself and putting your real opinions/demeanour into the role, to be a real job - but what these people do is just act as mouthpieces for the regime. Everything from their appearance too, to what they say, to how they say it (above tweet is a great example) is suppose to re-inforce the beliefs of our regime. Regime is the right word, btw - it simply means organised power.

Yeah. Watters isn't a reporter. He's a glove puppet, and an unconvincing one at that. Same goes for Leavitt.

hes a replacement for tucker carlson. his usual shtick was acting as a pundit against "degenerate libs" segment.

He's an even dumber Tucker Carlson, if that's even possible. So, a perfect Fox pundit.

his role was to get stereotypical "liberals" on his show to make fun of them.
