MAGA Senator stumped by CNN reporter's question about fake electors

This is part of the problem with modern journalism. Too often, reporters tell their interview subjects ahead of time what they will be asking them, and if the subject doesn’t want to talk about something, they will threaten to not do the interview if asked about that, and the interviewer complies.

That’s the entertainment “journalism” model transposed to national affairs reporting. It’s much rarer to see the sports journalism model applied, where the reporter is happy to bite the hand that feeds her and call out BS.

And so here we are, once again staring down a possible victory for the orange grifter in 2024. At least the Weimar press could somewhat explain away its failure to do its part to stop the Nazis by pointing to newsprint paper shortages. Future history books will not be so kind to Beltway access journalists who enabled MAGAism.
