Trump sought and actively tried to subvert constitutional government and overturn the results of the presidential election. And what he could not do through the arcane rules and procedures of the Electoral College, he tried to do through the threat of brute force, carried out by an actual mob.

Beware whenever the Alt-Right makes a "mistake" that works in their favor - it is most often no accident, from that crowd that values "winning" over all other considerations - even (especially it sometimes seems) morality?

As a famous YouTube video "The Alt-Right Playbook: Control the Conversation" mentioned, bad arguments are bait for liberals to get to talking about what the person offering those want them to be talking about. Whether this journalist merely was "negligent" towards best reporting practices vs. outright hostile to them, I no longer care b/c functionally they make no difference.
