    Say, anyone see the unredacted Mueller report? Hm?

    Anyone? Merrick keeps avoiding my calls.

        Yeah. He was hoping you wouldn’t notice. And that the corporate news would move on quickly, which they did

          I am still baffled that the media went on for so long building up the anticipation for the Mueller report, and then when it was released, they just accepted the word of Bill Barr - the guy who was specifically hired to quash the report. Unreal.

            It’s not that baffling, corpo media needs engagement for ratings, and hyping up the report was good for ratings. When it then turns out the report said exactly what everyone said it was, that’s not that engaging for 30-50% of the country and would actively push away the trump rubes and radical centrists.
