Winners and Losers
The media likes to list winners and losers from every confrontation between the two main-stream political parties. The media’s views of these events often lean towards their own particular political ideologies.
Without a doubt the Republicans were the winners and the Democrats were the losers from the Mueller hearings on Wednesday. Even far left media outlets like CNN agreed. Chris Cillizza at CNN noted,
If Democrats hoped that Mueller would easily bat away Republican attacks — on him and on his report — they were sorely disappointed in the opening moments of his testimony. Mueller seemingly contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing.
