there wasn't one that went: Was it because journalists such as myself couldn't be bothered reporting what were obvious lies, and instead practiced a bogus 'both sides do it' form of 'objectivity' that enabled a con artist and his allies to misinform tens of millions of Americans about the true severity of this crisis?"

Nope. I guess Chuck feels he and his cohorts bear no responsibility at all.

We have the least informed populace in the developed world. You'd think those who are supposed to be purveyors of the facts would wonder if they themselves might bear some blame for this.
