One might expect a firewall between personal bias and professional duties as reporters allowing them to report results in a straight up way.

Nope, they just couldn't help themselves.

I watched a bit, don't recall noticing bias, but did 'boycott' them leading up to '16, as they continued to play the trump card, ignoring 'other' candidates.

She had a show on MSNBC years ago that failed, and basically seems to hate the Clintons and Obamas who 'stole' the (white) Dem party from the 'heartland'.

Wonder when she's going to talk about all of the white women who voted for Trump.
