because the fox news primetime block went into full freakout/smear mode and bill barr had to be trotted out for a press defensive on cbs news.

this is why dems need to stage more live mid-day or primetime events to break through the right wing media bubble. not only are you delivering critical info straight to their flock without a pre-filter...but the straight news team covering these events for fox news are people like chris wallace and shep smith who summarize it in a much more balanced/realistic way than people like carlson and hannity.

this quote from a trump supporter after a justin amash townhall sums it up:

most of these people have no idea whats going in real life until their routine media diet is disrupted.
