More whining from a powerful media guy --- Chris Licht of CNN:

“The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning,” “Which proves my point: so much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths and desperation.”

The right is busy elsewhere at the moment. But wait until he meets the Nazis.

@digby Partisans love to *immediately* call you a moron if you opine outside of the very specific framework handed down by their side's TV channel. I see where they're getting it.

@digby I suppose we'd all be better off if "the left" modeled their discourse on the somber, well-reasoned, totally-fact-based-and-name-calling-free-and-never-ever-ever-hinting-at-violence example of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, et. al.

Have we gone from "both side are the same" journalism to "clearly the batshit crazies are the sane ones" journalism?

@digby So, all of those years when Licht was running Colbert’s show, was it just making him nuts and forcing him to bite his tongue?! Or did he suddenly become a right winger once his paycheck began depending on it?!

@digby

I wonder if folks will finally realize that many of the financial underpinnings of Republicanism is fundamentally anti-democracy at it's core?
