Both Siderism on CBS evening news

CBS served up a vile clump of Both Siderism last night.

Chris van Cleve did the "reporting." First he framed the Jan. 6 Insurrection as a basic Both Side event. Then he featured clips of Quevin McQuarthy demeaning the official Congressional inquiry as raw partisan politics. van Cleve closed his report with not a peep from any soul who might have actual concerns about the violent Republican assault on American democracy, but with a sour grapes whine-barf from Gym "insurrection supporter" Jordan.

So CBS set up the story of Jan 6 as Both Siderism. Then they reported only one freaking side: the side of the insurrectionists who violently attacked America and American democracy. The only thing missing was a comment from Vladdy Putin.

Shame on CBS and their crappy, dangerous spinning of the ugly realities.
