CNN's Council of Geniuses Tut-Tuts at Justice Gorsuch Appearing for an Interview on Fox, Not Bothering to Do Any Research (Which Would Have Revealed that Gorsuch Appeared on CNN Three Months Earlier, With No Complaints from CNN)

Your Intellectual Betters, it turns out, are f***ing morons.

Justice Gorsuch gave an interview to Ainsley Earhardt on Fox & Friends this morning. The Justice was clearly doing the interview to promote his book which was published in September. But his decision to appear on Fox & Friends raised concern among some, including CNN’s Brian Stelter:

Justice Neil Gorsuch is on "Fox & Friends" right now. The Q: How is it appropriate for a Supreme Court justice to try to goose sales of his three-month-old book by chatting on one of the most partisan shows on TV?

Stelter’s concern about partisanship is misplaced for a couple of reasons. First, the interview with Earhardt was a pretty straight affair asking the judge about his perspective on the law. There is even a segment of the interview in which Gorsuch emphasizes that he and his fellow justices rise above partisanship in their personal relationships with one another. Secondly, Gorsuch previously appeared on CNN for the same purpose, to promote his book. You can see his interview here.

Tater wasn't the only Clownshow Nonsense Network charity hire confused about the facts: Asha Rangappa, supposedly a national security "expert" despite only having worked at the FBI for four years, and widely known as one of CNN's most incompetent "experts," also had to step in to draw embarrassing attention to herself.

Yes, Asha, Supreme Court justices frequently give interviews on TV.

Surprised a legal expert didn't know that.
