Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”

TIL. I wonder why Platner is being pushed so hard. I am obviously not from the state, but him and Mills are literally the only ones the media talks about. I thought it was an oh well, gotta vote for the ex (maybe) Nazi mercenary dude because Collins votes 100% with the grand ole pedophiles anyway type of situation.

Looking into Costello, he sounds better experienced and a better pick. Although I didn't see any stance on AIPAC, which is worrisome.

The media absolutely loves Platner, and for the same reasons they love Trump. He is a rich white male who elicits incredibly strong pisitive/negative reactions, with a long history of controversies and who makes bombastic statements. Generally speaking, he’s great for their ratings.

I guess, but I meant more like NPR, the Pod Save guys, tiktok, etc.
