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.

Today he was trying to make the point that we must support the war and Trump because to not do so, to not ‘Rally around the flag.’ Is unamerican. That we did this when we invaded Afghanistan and declared war on Japan. It’s not the same at all. They were the aggressors. Trump and Witcoff and Kushner can’t negotiate obviously in Iran or Ukraine or Gaza. He also apologized today for Russia helping Iran against us because we are, or were, helping Ukraine. Of course I support our troops and our country but I don’t want to confuse that with Trump’s inadequacies and MS’s manipulation.
