Nuzzi's fawning coverage/access game w Ivanka & Hope Hicks was so transparent - in real time - that nothing about her lack of ethical compass is surprising.
But christ on a cracker, if I couold see it so clearly why can't the editors and publishers who continue(d) to hire her? Or don't they care?

So Megyn Kelly is apparently okay with her daughter being passed around like a box of cigars at the country club?
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The shout out to Eugene Debs made me jump off the sofa.
But the sly knife twist of quoting "great man" Mario Cuomo just minutes after flaying the skin off of degenerate spalpeen Andrew was pure chef's kiss.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Trump's long held fantasy of executing his Veep still unrequited. Pity.
A shell prematurely blew up on Saturday during a military event in California. Debris fell onto California Highway Patrol vehicles near a major freeway that had been ordered closed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had warned that the plans to fire shells over Interstate 5 could pose hazards for motorists.
Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines Event, California Officials Say
The mishap, during an anniversary celebration for the Marine Corps attended by the vice president and defense secretary, underscores safety concerns that Gov. Gavin Newsom voiced before Saturday’s event at Camp Pendleton.
