Here's Dean Phillips, taunting Donald Trump, over selling a shoe. 

   

 And here's Dean Phillips, getting his ass kicked by Briahna Joy Gray, over buying into genocide.

 

Looking For Clues

 

 You can lose your job for being on the 'wrong' side of war nowadays. 

   

 You can catch hell for even calling for a cease fire. 

   

You can get kicked off of TV shows. 

   

 And that includes news programs, which aren't what they used to be. 

   

 Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave, those kids on The Hill, seem concerned mainstream journalists like Christiane Amanpour are upset that Tucker Carlson got an interview with Vladimir Putin and they didn't. But, at the same time, they also seem to forget that Amanpour is a purveyor of agenda-serving “advocacy journalism,” married to former State Department spokesman James Rubin, and outlets like CNN pushed the lie of "RussiaGate" 24/7 for 5 years (and counting), while Tucker Carlson very much did not. 

If they're going to call themselves critiquing today's media environment, these things matter.
