Because, Really....

That was Josh Hawley's press secretary.

This is Josh Hawley: 

 "It's pretty hard to tell people that hey, you should go get vaccinated - the vaccines are effective, on the one hand - and then turn around and say oh, but, you need to wear a mask all the time, you need to wear a mask indoors, and maybe you're at risk for breakthrough infections, high risk, both of those things can't be true. I think what's going to happen is people will be totally confused by this, it looks and seems to be totally political."

What's the difference between that, and what the panelists said to Chuck Todd? 

I can't find any, except:  Objectivity!

A meaningless word journalists wave about like a shield.  A shield as substantial and as transparent as the Emperor's new clothes.

  1. It's so UNFAIR! that reality won't be so simple, one quick fix, easy, fitting right in with their entirely unsupported and irrational comprehension of all in one quick fixes. Pundits are idiots who went to the same school with the idiots who run things. It reminds me that the TV genius Rick Kaplan's proudest accomplishments was luring Tucker Carlson to MSNBC from PBS where he had been hired by other geniuses of the TV type. The world that Chuck Todd rose in, from the early patronage of Brian Lamb at C-Span.
