Replying to Reuters' Steve Holland about how much Putin has been weakened by the mutiny, President Biden replies that the Russian leader is clearly "losing the war in Iraq." https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5076278/user-clip-biden-putin-losing-war-iraq
@w7voa Who the fuck cares?
@ostrich it's common to quote literally. Transcribing the intended meaning is sometimes practice but is generally consider harmful, because it is easy to accidentally infer ones own biases.
@ekg One can directly quote without making the subject of the report that the president misspoke, particularly because he has a stutter it comes off extremely insensitive and tabloid-like.
@ostrich My apologies, it appears I missed the context of the original post.
@ekg The statement is relevant and should be reported on for substance. Reporting on his speech impediment as if it's news is degenerate fake journalism.
