Compare what Mueller said about how banal & benign this GOP platform change was - just a low-level aide acting alone to conform it to Trump's foreign policy - to the sinister meaning the media imposed on it, to understand how amazing it is that they're now celebrating themselves:
David Brooks, in his NYT column today, inadvertently expresses the prevailing media motto: "The Mueller report indicates that Trump was not colluding with Russia. But..."- no matter what comes after the "but," what comes before it is monumentally important given the last 3 years.
"Our investigation indicated Saddam in fact had no WMDs, but we succeeded in removing a brutal dictator." Yes, the part that comes after the "but" is true & perhaps even important, but it doesn't mitigate how earth-shattering the part before the "but" is nytimes.com/2019/04/18/opi…
