"Does this guest warrant further appearances in our programming, given the outrageous and unsupported claims made in the past?"

Slam dunk.

4. This stupidity will backfire

From what I've seen, the media is starting to catch on to what Barr did.

I think this was a Hail Mary. Upon further review, the play may well be ruled out of bounds.
The evidence we knew was strong and not refuted.

This is looking more like a poorly played shell game that is not going to fool as many folks as they hoped.

“Freedom of the press may be guaranteed in the Constitution. But a plurality of Republicans want to give President Trump the authority to close down certain news outlets, according to a new public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos and provided exclusively to The Daily Beast.”

So that 43% of republicans would approve a democrat shutting down Fox news?
