CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil goes full MAGA complete w/talking points as he "reported" U.S. didn't start this war,

but will finish it. I believe he was authoritatively and enthusiastically quoting the tRump administration - but he sure sounded like he was trying to convince his audience. His show was playing in the background, but this caught my attention.

Germany merely responded to the Poles' violent attack on a radio station.
