Sam Ponder talks about echo
Ponder appeared in the Fox News Channel movie “Saturday in America” and recalled Kayyleigh Mcenany, what was the backwardness.
“The strange thing is that I didn’t say very much. I repeated his family video just because I thought it was so easier because he’s a dad. You forget when you watch people on TV, sometimes it’s just a dad who is a man and has these little kids,” she said. “So, I repeated their family video during the holidays and immediately lost thousands of followers – and who cares about me? It’s not about me.

“But it was more about what was happening in our country right now, and I only got the vicious messages that any of us worked on television all the time. I used to it. But it was the answer to what I thought we could all agree – man, sad when someone killed.
Ponder, who is hesitant to talk about political issues these days, believes that he is related to exclusion.
“I think I have said a lot about where we are as a country, but I also think it says a lot about the algorithms we encounter,” she said. “I saw that so many people tell me, saying, ‘He was a racist. He was a bigot. “So I thought,” I didn’t know that about him.

“I almost don’t blame the people who felt that way because they were lying. They’re deceived. They’re not sitting and watching a long discussion with Charlie Kirk. They see what their algorithm gives them. I had people saying, ‘I didn’t see someone’s sad. “And I think, I see doctors, nurses, teachers, moms who laughed at his death, his murder, which we all saw.
“Those people didn’t see it. So, it says we see two different America, and much is because of the social media algorithm that we are all chronically dependent on the Internet, which is a real problem.”
