but from what I've read elsewhere JT did attempt to hold her feet to the fire, at least to a certain extent. I have seen some of his other coverage of this issue last week and he seemed relatively fair. However, just a few minutes ago, CNN began the hour with a huge chyron DUELING HARRATIVES to describe his interviews with Noem and Jacob Frey. He said/she said, right? Both sides, right? Who can say what really happened? It's so confusing. CNN is still playing games.

For her it was just "repeat talking point....repeat talking point" Its obvious she had nothing to go on. By their logic, the capitol police should have been mowing down the maga with all their guns.

and the real script got flipped. I didn't watch but it sounds "destroyed " is an exaggeration.

And honestly, with how much everything has turned to shit for the trump admin, holding him accountable isn't going to score them any points. As long as Trump doesn't pardon him, I'm sure the next admin will go after him
