Well, I am surprised by Katy Tur's coverage of the Bondi hearings and not in a bad way! [View all]

And since I do try to be fair and I have done my share of criticizing Ms. Tur, I want to recognize that she
is calling out that Bondi is performing for an audience of one and using her time from R questioners to blame Ds for crime in their districts instead of answering questions.

Now if you don't think that sounds particularly impressive, compare it with CNN which is running some kind of text chain between talking heads on the left side of the screen during the hearings. In the chain, there is a lot of bemoaning of the yelling and insults with a complete lack of acknowledgement that it is Bondi that is causing all of it by not following Senate rules. Typical sanewashing and bother siderism.

For whatever reason, I have noticed that since Tony (her husband) took over as CBS anchor under Bari Weiss, Katy has become more focused and a better journalist.
