Still normalizes Trump. Case in point, calls him a "sports fan" when it's obvious he isn't.
Huh?
Highly unimpressed. Dasha talks without saying much of anything. Pretty standard value-free journalism that focuses on power, money, and optics. Not committed to truth, but rather to a vague, nonpartisan notion of ‘neutrality.’
The "on the other handism" is palpable, as is the apparent requirement for Maya Ward not to speak too frankly about the Trump

If they can’t ignore it, they report how badly the Republicans reacted to the story.
