I like the dude, but his take on Portland is shallow. It ignored why the Feds were there in the first place. If you want to criticize the federal response then one must first confront why they were there in the first place. That would be the complete abdication of responsibility by the Portland mayor and DA. I don't have a real issue with his general criticism of the federal action, but ignoring why it was necessary in the first place is more than a little disingenuous. Of course, that could absolutely be the case because that's how the news organization chose to frame it, which I think is likely. Which is also indicative of why fewer and fewer people put any real trust in journalism.
