What do you call it when three big leftist TV anchors bite the dust within the span of a few days?
A good start.
First it was Norah O’Donnell at CBS, then Jim Acosta at CNN and now it’s Chuck Todd at NBC.
Who says all the news is bad?
Their loss of prime pulpits is America’s gain.
Despite their different networks and roles, the common denominator is that they all believed they were too important to merely deliver the news.
Citing the facts in an honest and fair fashion was beneath them.
They oozed contempt for the working and middle classes and saw themselves as members of a ruling elite.
They told viewers how to think about everything and created narratives that reinforced their prejudices, especially when it involved Donald Trump.
For eight years, all stories involving him ended the same way: Trump is bad, wrong and often evil. Everything else is detail.
They were often out of touch with the nation and reality.
