I felt a pang at the mention of Helen Thomas. She is missed.

Froomkin's points are well made overall, but I will firmly disagree with this one:

CNN’s aggressive use of a chyron Monday evening was good for a laugh, but arguably only made things worse. (sentence includes bothsiderist links)

The chyrons were an "emperor has no clothes" moment that the country desperately needed. I hope whoever was responsible still has a job because that *snap* to finally calling trump out for his lies was a public service.
