by being complicit to, and most times happily promoting the 24/7 bullshit being spewed by what are now the GOP's Putin-loving apparatchiks.

I like Christiane Amanpour and she has certainly paid her dues, but it seems they must have assumed that after the primary and general, the newly-elected deplorables would suddenly revert to the usual conservative vs liberal catfights. They are now finding, far too late in the game, that this was a coup and they aided and abetted it. As they are now discovering - they have been summarily discarded by the very ones they helped... all due to their insistence on doing false equivalence reporting.
