I am not convinced that CNN’s Brooke Baldwin is all that bright: for example, her insistence that female athletes should be guaranteed the same compensation as male athletes is feminist cant and bias-based nonsense. At least she tries to be balanced, though, or what qualifies as balanced in the hyper-biased news environment in which she works.
This is an admirable example. Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) was hilariously unprepared to be grilled on the Democratic and progressive—not to mention the news media—hypocrisy in suddenly deciding that detaining children of illegal immigrants in “cages” is unconscionable now, under Trump, when the critics remained silent under President Obama. Everyone knows CNN is “Get Trump!” 24/7. Either Senator Baldwin was supremely confident that only softballs would waft her way, or she is an idiot, because this is a question any ethical journalist should ask.
To be fair to the Senator, though, this is CNN, Trump has been denied fair coverage since 2016, and her interviewer even shares her gender and last name! Why would the Senator expect to have to account for her party’s double standard in such a friendly forum?
Listen to the Senator’s complete descent into classic“humina humina,” incoherent, deflecting gibberish when Baldwin asks her if she objected to similar treatment of detained kids at the border under Obama. It’s wonderful. Even Jackie Gleason would have to applaud.
Good for Brooke.
(Incidentally, it is “humina,” not “homina.”)
Ethics Alarms 
When all else fails, just keep babbling talking points.
Baldwin said at 1:08 in the video, “I remember a constituent that was in detention at the border…”
What the heck is she talking about? Illegal immigrants are not her constituents or the constituent of any other member of the United States Congress. Was she saying that a citizen of the United States was detained as an illegal immigrant and put in detention?
She was talking about an “undocumented” constituent, I’d bet!
They want to illegal alien vote… I mean, more than they already get.
They want it out in the open.
I think Baldwin was engaging in Communication Malpractice.
Thomas Di Lorenzo made a goid point.

That is a good point. And I made it first:
