      -_- Journalism, the easiest, most effortless profession in the modern world. You just hear, copy, and repeat.

      It's no wonder that these so called "News" organizations get away with this stuff. Maybe one day the Democrats will grow a spine and start fighting back. Until that happens these so called "News" organizations will keep spewing out this junk, day in and day out.

      Wow, this is actually scary. It was starting to look like the rest of the media was merely lazy and incompetent after Fox News siphoned off all the crazies. But to repeat republican framing that every employee at CNN trivially knows is false...

      They are still actively lying for an ideology that failed right in front of them a short time ago. Democracy can't live in these conditions.
