 Comedians are taking on the role of so called 'journalists', so you can be sure that things are upside down.

 To be fair I think Chris is trying to get on the right side of history.  Not an apologist for him and I think he's pretty culpable.  Just impressed to see his mental shifts the past year or so.  Don Lemon will be coming around next.

 Perhaps now that he realizes what he was complicit in, if he's even figured it out. He still doesn't seem like he's being honest by passing the blame, especially the way he framed it here. I'm not singling him out, all people in the media were complicit.

As long as corporations don't allow journalists to have journalistic freedom to cover ANY topic, there will never be many, if any, actual journalists in the MSM.
