Why don't you go back in time and ask FoxNews why much less than this was was cause for absolutely losing their **** from 2009 to 2016 and will be again a day after the next Dem becomes president? (assuming our Democracy survives this ****show intact)
This stuff matters because half the country is completely frothing at the mouth about it, until a Republican becomes president and does 100x worse, then crickets. And there is no liberal equivalent of that. It maybe gets mentioned once in passing. MSNBC might do one snarky bit then move on to real issues. FoxNews would spend a solid week on much less than this. And that's not to mention all the much worse right-wing radio and online outlets.
It matters because there's an asymmetric information/propaganda war going on right now that's brainwashing a big chunk of the populace and slowly destroying this country.
