for the first time in his long career?
Nah, me neither. Conservatives always think it's the other guy's job.

Now the network may HAVE TO become journalistically-inclined.

I'm sure she was shocked to see so many upset people in the reddest part of her district in the reddest county in TN

...Dem candidate from ItStarts.today. It sounds like there are enough people there to maybe reach a critical mass. Flip in 2018? Flip in 2020?? Possible?

Who knew that somewhere deep down, there may be a real journalist in there.
