Earlier today, CNN sent heads careening into desks with their scorching-hot take on Martin Luther King Jr:
– He's an environmental hero
– He was a socialist before it was cool
– He never let a political disagreement turn nasty
Many Americans have turned MLK into a safe holiday mascot, but some say King still speaks in ways that go beyond civil rights https://t.co/zMBtSBfPIm pic.twitter.com/Y8gl4Kx7lP

We checked Chris Cillizza’s timeline, and, shockingly enough, he hasn’t mentioned being appalled by CNN’s blatant — not to mention shameless — agenda forwarding. Now, why is that? A good journalist knows how to admit when he or she is wrong. And he owes Sarah Sanders an apology, dontcha think? It’s the least he can do!
