During a podcast, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope Walz, shares her thoughts on the ethics of social media reporting and bashes Nick Shirley in the process:
WALZ: “People engage with that.”
INTERVIEWER: “It feels more trustworthy than the news to a lot of people.”
WALZ: “It does, and I can’t quite like fig—well, you know, I have my own problems with like the media and like all of that, and that’s, you know, I said in a video this morning, like now I can kind of be let loose, and I definitely want to have some of those conversations going forward. Um, but I do, like, I definitely think people see somebody and they’re like, “Oh, this person’s, you know, I see myself in them, and so I’m going to believe them.” And that is what people definitely see in me. I think then that’s like an ethical thing on his end. Like, you know, you can’t just go and do this to people, I don't know in communities.”
Man: “But I watch it, I haven’t watched the whole video like you, I've watched a lot of the clips on there ‘cause he’s posted a lot of them. Um, but the style of it, I watch it and I’m like, ‘Oh no, like, this is my style, this is what I do.’ And, like, here I am, like, feeling like what I’m doing is a good thing, but then it can be used so—so easily to do something really bad.”
Woman: “Yeah. And there’s no, like, checks and balances on, you know, content, or not many in just social media.”
