1. I listened to this on my way home and I completed agree. Licht et al wanted the dumpster fire

It was not a mistake. These are seasoned pros. They knew exactly what would happen. This is all about them trying to reposition themselves.

Joy Reid didn't speak much on it, but she went there too.

3. Exactly. They had to know exactly what would happen, especially right after yesterday's verdict.

It's all about ratings and leading the news - and of course this embarrassment is the big story of today - and it's hardy over yet.

2. Have them issue a Follow up and an Apology if they want to maintain any Journalistic Integrity.

Thanks.
