Taibbi rips this for all of the obvious reasons, but leaves out a couple of clear takeaways. First off, this shows how few 'journalists' these days learned reporting as a trade as opposed to getting a college degree and formation by the activists within Academia. And relatedly second, it demonstrates just how much this industry sees itself as activists rather than reporters of fact, especially when it comes to the law and crime. That goes a long way to explaining how MSM analysts managed to bungle the 14th Amendment disqualification case by arguing that the amendment intended to increase the authority of the states over that of the federal government rather than the other way around.

Finally, it reveals progressive fragility in all its glory. Welker managed to squeeze Trump's election fight into the news story even though it had nothing to do with Haley's standing in this election, and it still wasn't enough fan service for supposed "reporters."
