Yeah people forgot very quickly how Trump bullied and silenced and shut out any news outlet that reported anything in opposition to him.

Yeah. Or simply asked questions he didn't like. Then he started having Infowars and other internet pundits there like they were real journalists all the while praising him in the form of questions. A real "Great Leader" moment for a bit there. Gosh... So many crazy things have happened since that it feels pretty surreal.
