Two things simultaneously objectively true: Pruitt made huge missteps and he was the target of a massively coordinated #Resistance campaign. Adults should be able to handle two thoughts in their head at the same time.
I see no benefit to pretending he wasn’t the target or feigning ignorance as to why he was target. Need for others to enforce lockstep groupthink on this issue that ignores this issue is utterly bizarre.
Also if your paper’s front-page “corruption” hit on the man and his daughter had to be corrected for being false just days ago, maybe don’t be too uppity about how media are beyond reproach and any criticism is unacceptable. YMMV.
