... every damn talking head last night covered the Christie story.
You'd think there was nothing else going on in the world. 4 hours, 4 different talking heads, all repeating the same thing.

Sad excuse for 'journalism'.

crimes of the RW darling of the day instead of glorifying him to make sure he can win elections, which is what they usually do.
