Rush is going ballistic. Wait until he finds out what we have known for two years now. Nuclear. Also seems to not understand that it’s nothing personal against Trump. They were going to run the same scam against anyone who had the nerve to beat Hillary. The difference is..... Trump ain’t no bandleader!
And Trump (may re-election be upon him*) just used the T-word!

I’ve only been able to stop by briefly lately so I apologize if this has already been posted, but ..... well, well, well...

Whatever his supposed flaws, the rampant accusations and speculation that shrouded Trump’s presidency, even before it began, ultimately have proven unfounded. Just as Trump said all along.
Yet, each time President Trump said so, some of us in the media lampooned him. We treated any words he spoke in his own defense as if they were automatically to be disbelieved because he had uttered them. Some even declared his words to be “lies,” although they had no evidence to back up their claims.
We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence.
We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.”
As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment.
And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet that the technical details hardly mattered.
So, a round of apologies seem in order.

Not sure that line applies, because the guy who said it caved after getting a horse's head in his bed.
