Earlier this morning, National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar pointed out that Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill doesn’t seem to be mincing her words anymore now that she’s lost her race:

But CNBC’s John Harwood just isn’t seeing it:
describing something in plain sight is not “liberal” https://t.co/tRkcFBGgP9

OK, John.
So why didn’t she say that during the campaign, John?

*raises hand*
OOOH! I know! https://t.co/jB5Oac2Km2

Anyone know why John Harwood would leap at the chance to spin on McCaskill’s behalf?
Unbiased "journalist" folks

This is what John tells himself to justify him consistently repeating Dem talking points while pretending to be a neutral journalist. https://t.co/eQ5uFgUWkk

Seriously. It's the "I do it, so it's not liberal, it's normal" justification
