They they them they them the left them they the left

That's what Fox News sounds like to me. Don't you pretty much have to be a staunch right-wing partisan to talk like that? If the newscasters and viewers aren't collectively in the "us" group (good) as opposed to the "them" group (bad), it doesn't even make sense.

I prefer a degree of separation between reporters and the politicians being reported on. Hannity had Trump on speed dial as we now know. CNN has its faults but doesn't blur the lines and spew sweeping generalizations like that.

libertarians back in the days when Ayn Rand was all the rage of young men from wealthy conservative families, like Ted Turner and his Turner broadcasting which became CNN. CNN is libertarian, not democratic socialist style liberal, or FDR/LBJ kind of liberal.
