#Tucker said what a lot of us were thinking and/or saying, but no one (or really anyone in cable news, at least) has as big of a profile as he does, so what he did tonight matters a lot.
I feel like tonight has the possibility of being a real turning point in all this.
And for those in the liberal media dismissing what #Tucker did as insufficient, the reality is they need to come lean and say that nothing would be sufficient for them other than going on some Evan Baxter-like meltdown about the evils of Fox News and the entire Republican Party
Really, go look. It's as if #Tucker broadcast obscene material on his show tonight (e.g. Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII) by simply playing clips of what Sidney Powell alleged before critiquing her.
When you treat political speech like pornography, you might have a problem.
*come clean
Oof.

Our woke sports media and all the usual columnists will be losing the damn minds over the sight of this in South Bend, but it's safe bet they were overjoyed to see the crowds celebrating Trump losing (and might have even participated themselves)
Based on how the few conservatives on their payroll like Rick Santorum are treated, it's been a helpful reminder over the last 24 hrs that, under Jeff Zucker, CNN will have nothing but disdain and, yes, hatred for people that disagree with them. "You're a Trumper? You're a NUT!"
With his trademark condescension and hatred, Anderson Cooper is leading a waterboarding of Rick Santorum. Among his latest claims is that Republicans are the ones to fear election violence and rioting in the streets of American cities, not far-left groups.
My point exactly about CNN being poisonous to our body politic. They have no respect or see Trump supporters as good, reasonable human beings. In their mind, a Republican makes you basically a believer in Q, hates minorities, and prone to violence
CNN spent the last 13 minutes and 39 seconds uninterrupted talking about their colleague Miles Taylor revealing himself to have been Anonymous.
13:39 or 819 seconds.
That's 13:39 (or 819 seconds) more than they've given #Tucker's interview last night with Tony Bobulinski.
That was in the 3:00 p.m. Eastern hour.
In the next hour, Jake Tapper had another two minutes and 16 seconds/136 seconds on Taylor.
Again, that's 2:16 (or 136 seconds) more than they've given #Tucker's interview last night with Tony Bobulinski.
So we're up to CNN having spent 15 minutes and 55 seconds on their CNN colleague coming out as Anonymous, but zero seconds on #Tucker's interview with Tony Bobulinski.
Here's Jake Tapper breathlessly reporting the news that his CNN colleague Miles Taylor was Anonymous. Don't forget he was part of Miles Taylor's media tour the first time and part of the PR campaign (one could say collusion) with the Never Trump group RVAT.
And here's more with Tapper and Kaitlan Collins
More insightful analysis on what will almost certainly be a game-changer from Nia-Malika Henderson and Gloria Borger #sarcasam
It should be noted that MSNBC did not carry a single second of #ACB's swearing-in ceremony at the White House or a single second of #ACB's remarks after being administered the oath by Justice Thomas.
9:07 p.m. Eastern when Trump, #ACB, and Justice Thomas came out with Trump speaking first. Fox News and CNN carried it.
Here's 9:07:21 p.m. Eastern with Fox News and WGN's #NewsNationTV vs. MSNBC
And now 9:16 p.m. Eastern when Justice Thomas administered the oath to #ACB.
Here's 9:16:30 p.m. Eastern synched up. Again, this is Fox News and WGN's #NewsNationTV vs. MSNBC
