From our perspective, it's a badge of honor.

I certainly hope that CNN doesn't change course and begin to grovel again.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

For years, they would have multiple RW propaganda-spewers on panels on show after show (Crowley, Blitzer, Borger, King, etc) and maybe include a single weak Democrat as an after thought. THAT is why we are where we are today.

Yes the equal time is directly the reason they get their message out. And repeat and repeat and repeat. From Luntz/Newt strategy words in the early 90's to talk radio to Fox News - which the MSM follows down any rabbit hole. Fake news is nothing new, the right thrive on it.
