‘What Else Should a Reporter BE’ But a Liberal?
You see, according to Thomas, one cannot be a conservative and be a thinking or caring person. It is clear in her reply to the interviewer.

More than anything else, the pattern I put forth and what Jeff is arguing against, is proof of that Left bad faith. A decent human being’s first response to someone upset at them is to try to ameliorate the situation (”whoops…what did I do?”).
