Teach them everything or nothing

In the immediate aftermath of the election, some of the shell-shocked and disheartened MSM actually seemed like they were beginning to break out of their liberal bubble and learn a bit about reality. "Maybe we shouldn't call every Republican Hitler."

Then Steve Bannon was appointed as one of Trump's key advisors (honestly, how insane would it be to ditch the guy who helped you win the election?) and their immediate response was, "Bannon is Hitler!!!!"

A lot of my friends were irritated by the MSM's refusal to learn from their mistakes. But here's the thing: WE DON'T WANT THEM TO LEARN. Seriously. What football team wants the opposing football team to learn and improve? What army wants the opposing army to learn and improve? Do you think any police are irritated that criminals aren't getting smarter?

Unless the MSM has a complete epiphany and rejects all their liberal obsessions, we don't want them to learn. We want them to double-down on the ignorant hubris that cost them this election.
