Initially, I intended to include Rainn Wilson’s zinger in my earlier post regarding the debate on CNN. However, this really does warrant a separate look at yet another defense of the mainstream media, and accusations that outsiders are responsible for its credibility collapse. This time, the excuses come from MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who claims...
