Are Dems openly asking the media to question its handling of the Mueller testimony?

I've heard "move the needle" a few too many times the last couple of days. If the media needs a good discussion topic (and they always do), ask them to question themselves about their handling of the Mueller testimony. Were they too focused on the "electricity" level of the "performance" and not the serious heft of the news that was actually made? Did they toss the steak because they didn't like the sizzle?

The legitimate media love to question themselves. It's both responsible and can be a very efficient, interesting use of their analytical talent and footage resources. I.e., it's great journalistic karma, is cheap, and fills air time with quality content. Someone should ask them to question themselves.

for the testimony the day after it was announced. CNN was showing ads like it was a celebrity sports event. That was my initial reaction and believe my gut was correct. No one could live up to that fanfare and especially Mueller. The M$M gave us the Racist Rapist and they are getting him reelected. This is a re-do of the 2015-16 campaign.
