I’m glad that others have read through the entire screed, so I don’t have to.

I wasn’t much inclined to follow the link in any case, once I saw that the author had failed to buttress her claim that Bannon is a white nationalist anywhere within the snippet.

I have been taught to write the “BLUF”—Bottom Line Up Front. So, if I want to make a claim, I better put the evidence for it in the leading sentence and expand on it in the rest of the piece.

Obviously, this CNN author was not taught effective writing.

For the Left, the claim is the evidence.
