Progressive News Media In A Nutshell

NPR: YOUR EXTRA-DUPER-SUPER-SUPREME-RIGHT-WING GOVERNMENT HAS DISSOLVED THE WHOLE GOVERMENT AND NOW RULES SOLELY BY EXECUTIONS.
Hungary: Uh...no, that's all completely wrong.
NPR: THAT'S NEWS US BUT HEY LOOK OVER THERE: WHAT ABOUT THE TRANS??????

Szijjártó--who, as I don't have to point out, has one of the most badass names ever--completely takes Amanpour apart. Not with rhetorical tricks nor brute force, but with actual, rational analysis. E.g. when he points out that ordinary questions of legislation like the "trans" stuff have nothing to do with the issue of emergency powers. She keeps her cool--impressively, really. Because he completely hoses her. Undaunted by the fact that the entire predicate of her criticism is knocked out from under her, she just keeps on attacking. She does at least throw out a veiled, semi-admission of error in her "that's news to us." But, of course, what she ought to have said was "I'm so sorry, we were completely misinformed." Instead, she throws a generic (I originally typed 'genderic'...which is kinda funny) prog-bomb: but what about the trans?????

   I was sitting here marveling at the kind of brains and linguistic deftness it takes to reason that clearly in a second language...the mind, it reels... 

   This sort of thing is despicable. 

   But nobody on the left seems to care.
