13. He basically did what I did, though...

...I am a stickler for adhering to the "4 paragraphs of copyrighted material" rule, although I DO cheat a little sometimes, because of the number of "one sentence paragraphs" (which I think are deliberate for that very reason).

The actual title of his article was "Trump Goon Melts Down After Latest Kennedy Center Boycott."

I think his characterization of Grenell as a goon melting down qualifies as commentary.

No one here's giving Grenell a pass, an open forum. It's DU, not CNN or Bari Weiss' CBS Evening News. No right wingers are given a pass to mouth off, unchallenged, but as I said above, DU knows who Grenell is, and I didn't thing a lengthy condemnation from me and a disclaimer of what he said was required. I've logged 21,731 posts here...I think most of the regulars know where I'm coming from on most subjects.
