Margaret Sullivan says that "if you watched the speech, or even snippets of it, you saw ... an absolutely ugly and brutal attack on Kamala Harris, full of lies and racist misogyny" (The three phases of normalizing Trump's attack on Harris in Wisconsin, Substack, Sep 30, 2024)
Sullivan continues:
"I used to think that Trump’s rallies and speeches should not be shown live because that only gave him a media megaphone for his propaganda. I believed, and often wrote, that such coverage should only come later, accompanied by plenty of fact-checking and context. But I’m not so sure any more. Maybe, in order to get across how unhinged and offensive this really is, it needs to be seen in its full live form, complete with the red-capped faithful cheering on his every ugly insult."
