I got good news for you: I agree completely. So no rant needed.

I honestly don't care who is worse since both sides are so eager to do it, but I would think that it's usually the case that which party's candidate is president is probably the determining factor in who's the worse hypocrite. So, i would agree that Trump supporters are most likely bigger hypocrites right now as were Obama supporters when he was in office and so on.

CNN should behave a bit differently (though I have to say that guys like Anderson Cooper, in my eyes, are not in senseless attack mode and seem professional enough to me). I said I don't "take issue", more precise would have been to say I am not surprised by it.

Fair enough.
