Fox News has re-signed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as an opinion contributor, and CNN’s media reporter and “Reliable Sources” host connected the dots:

Fox News’ most loyal viewer has done it again:
You mean the governor? Seems like a relevant qualification.
You literally don't even pretend anymore do you CNN Brian?

Is there any self-awareness inside the mainstream media bubble?

And the Dem/media revolving door has been spinning for a long time, but it’s nice of Stelter to finally take notice when it concerns the former governor of Arkansas who is also the father of Trump’s press secretary:

But sure, back to Mike Huckabee, Sarah Sanders and Fox News.
You took Avenatti seriously.

And then some:
Flashback: CNN's @brianstelter touts Michael Avenatti as a "serious" contender for 2020.
"And looking ahead to 2020, one reason I’m taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.” pic.twitter.com/c5JEdVrLiJ
