26. I think there are two reasons they're doing this

First is that if we ever get a Democratic-led government again such an investigation will give that government's FCC license to go after Fox News and One America News Network - two outlets that specialize in news distortion.

The other, which may be more important, is this investigation screams of "sore winnerdom." I mean, come on: TRUMP WON THE FUCKING ELECTION! If Harris had won, and it could be proven that the CNN interview (which probably no conservatives at all watched in the first place) was the tipping point, then...yeah, they might have a point. But Donald Trump is sitting in the White House...well, part of the time anyway...trashing the government like the china-shop bull that he is. Beating up on CNN because...what, Trump didn't sweep 50 states, which he wasn't gonna do anyway; Trump wouldn't have won California, New York or Washington if he was the only candidate on the ballot...looks like the sour grapes that it is.
