MUIR read the first paragraph of the indictment and pitched to KARL, whose eyes looked like brimming with tears, and who said (paraphrase: ), witnesses testified he knew he lost and it HURT him.
Poor hurt baby Drumpf!
*** My oft repeated context about KARL: In ancient of days, Brit HUME worked at ABC, where he "reported" with a constant sneer on all topics Democratic, and who projected himself as a consigliere for the BUSH Family Evil Empire, to the extent of participating in intimate gatherings of the BFEE. So HUME came clean and went to the Faux Propaganda Network, leaving behind his wingnut Chair, which I submit has been filled by KARL, who years later when sub-hosting on This Week on a Father's Day, ran a video of Poppy BUSH and closed with calling him "the father of the nation." Hence, I contend he fills the HUME Chair at ABC.

EXCERPT...
Of course, whether the country being attacked has a democratic or dictatorial government doesnt make a war any less wrong or criminal, given that the costs to innocent people are the same. And the many Iraqis who suffered under the bombardment of US shock and awe will be surprised to learn about the supposed virtue of US cruise missiles.
But this attitude isnt limited to McFaul. Interviewing Democratic primary challenger Marianne Williamson earlier this month, ABCs Jonathan Karl pushed back on the idea that Iraq could be compared to Ukraine. But this is entirely different than a war of conquest, isnt it? he said. (Given post-war US meddling in Iraqi politics, its long-running and ongoing military occupation of the country against its will, and the profiteering bonanza for US corporations off of Iraqi resources, this may not be as clear-cut a distinction as Karl hopes).
Its really not complicated. An illegal war is an illegal war and should be clearly condemned. Left-wing antiwar critics have done so repeatedly when it comes to Russias invasion of Ukraine. Its only US politicians, intellectuals, and establishment media figures who still feel the need to whitewash and even justify Bushs twenty-year-old war.

Weaponized disinformation is called propaganda. Cough. Jonathan Karl. Cough.
And when money trumps peace, UTUSN, it's all about the price of crude oil.
