Today, CNN apparently thought the correct answer to "Who should we highlight in order to provide a thorough, educated view and valuable, objective context on this groundbreaking development to our millions of viewers?" was "I know, let's see if the former toady for the Indict-ee wishes to give his tupPence about this whole shebang! We'll let him deflect and get in some digs on ethical current President, too! Journalism!"

Reminder: CNN have always been sensationalist, hacky trash, but have recently become a whole new kind of trash, and nobody here should be supporting them with your eyeballs under any circumstances.

Will, CNN and CBS demonstrated quite openly their business model during their first interviews with Blinken talking about Biden’s “failures” during the Afghan debacle They are simply clickbait whores, and yes, whores is the proper terminology here

The word that finally came to mind after seeing Pence give his opinion of the indictment was 'unctuous'. That will have to do until after I've had more coffee.

unctuous:

1 Excessively ingratiating or insincerely earnest.

2 Containing or composed of oil or fat.

3 Having the quality or characteristics of oil or ointment; slippery.

2 🤮 No wonder the fly

James, unctuous is as good an un-caffeinated word as any. Enjoy your coffee.

That word is sufficient. Actually, beyond sufficient.
