Of all the talking heads that fail miserably at covering cheato [View all]

I reserve a special kind of distain for the ones assigned to follow his campaign. They all go above and beyond to normalize him, and that's saying something since the normalization is rampant everywhere. But they are the champions, hands down.

Kristin Holmes on CNN listens to the latest outrage and/or lie recited by the anchor with a smirk and a twinkling eye. When it's her turn to talk, she begins with "Well, look..." and then goes on to normalize him with blather basically amounting to that's just how he is, and isn't it kind of charming?

Garrett Haeke does the same on MSNBC. I assume they are doing this to keep access to the liars on the cheato campaign, as if that is a worthy goal. The whole thing is disgusting. I wonder if they think they are fooling anyone.
