Beyond parody. At least he is consistent.
Seriously, how do you spend 2 weeks flipping out (based on questionable reporting) about FNC allegedly killing a story for a pol during an election, but then just excuse a Reuters reporting doing the same thing because he happened to be working on a book?
Amazing pretzel.
Amazing pretzel.
P.s. worth noting the book still doesn't come out until June 4th of this year, but I guess it was safe for Reuters and this reporter to publish about it now that the election is over....
