ZERO Challenging Questions for Liberal Senator on CNN, PBS, MSNBC
September 26th, 2019 1:26 PM
It's always amusing when reporters insist that they're not "stenographers to power," but when you look at their interviews with Democrats, they often come across as stenographers -- extremely accomodating, and not at all challenging.
