A review, this morning:
Adam Serwer @AdamSerwer
Mueller testified that the president is an unprosecuted felon. His testimony however, lacked a compelling musical number.

Some of the responses:
Mueller’s testimony did not meet standards of reality show dramatics and in turn, was a bust. Media is stuck on stupid when it comes to covering Trump presidency. Media and some in public wanted theatrical pronouncements of Trumps guilt. Because we didn’t get it, Mueller a dud
So, what does the educated & rational public do when the press has turned into an entertainment machine?
It’s total saturation. “Journalists” and reporters now do this as part of their DNA & most seem to have zero insight
The idea that all this needs to be reality TV is the most damning aspect of American culture
