Bet you are right.
He has lived in a fantasy world for so long he’s incapable of confronting hard truth and reality.
I am thinking his last wild shot, and maybe NBC’s too, will be to claim PTSD...he has just worked so hard and under such terrific pressure (he is after all the guiding light of America) that he has understandably slipped just this once.
Of course now we are on a half-dozen or so documentable lies...they can’t bring him back except perhaps as a sort of therapeutic example of high-level burnout.
He’ll come back. That’s for sure. And when he does he will have concocted some elaborate psychological explanation that will excuse his “misremembering” and earn him enough sympathy to keep his job. Honesty doesn’t matter in big media. Only your liberal bona fides does.

He’s no worse than the other media slugs. I think they should bring him back, just so no one would have any excuse for not knowing that the evilstream media are, collectively and individually, willful and malicious purveyors of falsehood.
