CNN Loses the Bubble

For John, BLUF:  Actually, I am not sure CNN knows there is a bubble..  Nothing to see here; just move along.

How QAnon's lies are hijacking the national conversation

From CNN, by Reporters Rob Kuznia, Curt Devine and Drew Griffin, 15 December 2020.

Here is the lede plus one:

It started with a Tweet from a QAnon supporter at 2:09 in the morning:  #SubpoenaObama.

Though devoid of context, the cryptic message made sense to anyone in tune with the groundless conspiracy theory that the Obama administration -- prior to leaving office in 2017 -- had taken active measures to undermine the incoming Trump presidency.

Are these three Reporters living in some time capsule, sealed in 2016?  By now all but the most partisan Democrats, and, apparently, news media, know that the Trump campaign, and Administration, faced a "hostile work environment".  From Carter Page to LTG Michael Flynn, to the President himself, under Impeachment, the land mines laid before Inauguration were signs of an Obama Administraition and Deep State resisting the President.  Sure, the President plowed through it, up until 3 November, but it was still there.

I am not a follower of QAnon.  However, neither am I a follower of CNN.  Neither is reliable.  Sadly, each has its followers.
