One interview does not a right-wing outlet make. If we knee-jerk castigate every news outlet that interviews or mentions someone we don't like, pretty soon we'll only be having political discussions with our pets.

Cenk and the Dirtbag Left was one source where the "Kamala's a cop" smears came from.
