With liberal journalists, the Constitution seems to go in and out of favor. During the Trump era, it was a beacon to hold the President accountable. Will our journalists speak truth to power with a Democrat in power? History isn’t encouraging. It was just nine years ago this week, on February 7, 2012, that the New York Times declared our Constitution annoyingly “old” and out of touch…

CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter submitted to an interview on Vox's podcast The Ezra Klein Show, which was meant to be a sober liberal salon, but then it got a little testy. Klein must have surprised Stelter when Stelter tried to claim only Fox tries to make its viewers "pissed" as a business model. Klein wasn't having that at all.
