Ali Velshi completely relinquished his journalistic credibility today.

He just had on Ed Butowski, the monster who took advantage of Seth Rich's parents, while helping instigate the completely bogus DNC email Foxnews story.

Chris Cuomo completely destroyed Butowski, revealing him to be a transparent, bumbling liar on CNN

Velshi, who introduced But... as his friend, allowed him to tell his spurious tale without any but the very slightest demurral, exposing him to the most invidious of comparisons to Cuomo's expert dissection of Butowski's implausible version of how he lured the Rich family into further heartbreak

Here's cuomo's interview, to show Velshi how to conduct a professional inquiry:

No link to Velshi's pathetic interview yet. Will post when it comes up

After his equally sorry performance with S. Gorka, I won't be bothering to watch him again

from the get-go. He reminds me of Big Ed (Ed Schultz) who used to be on MSNBC before he went all crazy Russian/right winger and who had always reminded me of Rush Limbaugh. I feel like Velshi could do the same and switch sides in a heartbeat given the right amount of money. Just my two cents.
