She spent decades concealing the depth of her political opinions and leanings so as to always come across as a “respectable” or “credible” author, journalist or opinion originator. Like so many others, 2016 ripped that band aid right off.

There was a time when she (and most others) could keep a rein on their biases when presenting.

That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

That band aid was off long before. Cokie and her husband presented every news report through their liberal lens like most of the media of their era. There was never any balance to their reports.
