SHOCKING! CNN Actually DEFENDS Joe Rogan & Bernie Sanders!

CNN host Dana Bash typically registers among the sea of corporatist, establishment-fluffing career media hacks populating the cable news shows. So it came as something of a surprise when Bash went off script recently and questioned Democrats’ electoral strategy of shunning an invitation from wildly popular podcaster Joe Rogan — especially because of how well an appearance helped Bernie Sanders in a previous presidential race.

TJDS guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss this unexpected turn from the usually reliable media stenographer Dana Bash.

Plus segments on Nancy Pelosi shoving Kamala Harris and Joe Biden under the bus, Bernie pushing back at criticisms from Pelosi, and Trump tapping a longtime swamp creature as his new Chief of Staff.
