CNN has re-gained credibility, in my opinion...

I just watched the 8:00 AM time slot on TV, and Chris Cuomo asked the most-pointed questions to a Republican congressman that I have seen in recent days.

The young Congressman, a Republican, seemed to be the most truthful and honest Republican I have seen on TV in recent days.

Cuomo asked him about Nunes' inserting himself back into the investigation? He asked about what was more important, "leaks" or "Russian involvement in our elections? There were other very pertinent questions that were asked and they were answered very honestly by his Republican guest Congressman.

However, the one question where he fumbled a bit was about whether Nunes' should re-insert himself back into the investigation.

You've misread that guy. Either he is seeing the smoldering in the corner and seeing an opportunity for promotion in his future, or he has bumped his head.

That is my rep. He is ANYTHING but honest and forthright! Not at all trustworthy, and does not have the best interest of anybody at heart, unless they have a 9 digit net worth or we're talking about Adam himself.

Even stuff in the bio is only tangentially accurate.

He seemed to answer the very tough questions rather honestly. As for other aspects of his record, I am not familiar.

(and immediately changed the channel, of course.)

Proof positive that they're still not serious about representing anything close to objective reality.

Since we've unplugged and only have Sling TV I've been watching it. Really good.
