    Same, bro. I wanted to know what they had to say, so I read a couple paragraphs of “I’m a liberal elite democrat, just like you” followed by “Trump did nothing wrong” and knew I had to stop. It is dishonest to look at the Mueller report and come to the conclusion that there was nothing worth investigating when Mueller explicitly said that he recommends charges against the then president – specifically several counts of obstruction by him and his administration that effectively stonewalled the investigation about collusion with Russia.

    If that’s how they felt was the strongest opening argument, it reveals how weak that whole angle was. It certainly did reveal a bias, but not on the part of NPR, and it is certainly clear that this author deserves no more time or attention.

      Well said. I can’t believe how long that article was for the quality.

      I have this strong suspicion that nobody read the whole thing, even the guy who challenged us by saying “Have you read his essay?” and linked it.
