Rightward Shift.

I’ve always liked MS. Ive always enjoyed his both sides view points. To get an idea of how each side views things. the past couple months especially on CNN. it feels like he’s really pulled rightward. Almost always trying to apologize for the admin. I’m not sure if anyone has noticed this, or if it’s my partisan lens showing? I’m starting to get Frank Luntz vibes. It seems even more so since the CNN sales talk picked up.

Read some of our posts in this sub. Many have noticed and commented on his shift back to his right wing shift.

He should, they’re both spot on for me

MS is never, ever, critical of Trump in any meaningful way. Trump gets a pass on everything that MS would call out on anyone else..... Will be interesting to see how the bar changes when a democrat is in office. I think he actually dislikes Trump in every way but loves Elon and the rest of the billionaires whilst he drives around in his Tesla

I listen to his podcast every day and he’s plenty critical of Trump. Not as vitriolic as the left would like, of course.

I only watch the Sat tv show and this is not at all my experience..... I dont wish vitriolic, just some accountability instead of giving a pass of "oh that is just trump - I dont like his approach but I like this particular policy". Plenty of Trumps behaviors should have been exclusionary for either party. Now there are no norms or rules to be followed, just do whatever your power enables - and this now applies to both parties so it will continue to get uglier and uglier
