If anything, Trump has duped millions into discounting any criticism of him as fake news.

To be honest, it's hard for me to believe in this day and age of social media usage that her coworkers didn't have a clue as to her opinions. It's not she was hiding behind a fake name or a pseudonym. And lawyers are pretty assertive/aggressive by nature and love sharing their opinions so no one knowing just doesn't ring true. Add to that,  there are employers who can and will check social media accounts before they hire someone. Too many things to point in the opposite direction of your statement.

And yet, she was fired. Again, she doesn't work in the CBS news division, how is the perceived bias of CBS news any indication of co-worker acceptance of what she said? If they knew of her opinions, does that imply automatic agreement? Did her bosses know? Anyway, even if they did, show me a recent display of media bias at CBS so egregious it leads one to believe the corporate atmosphere encourages statements like what she made. Referring to all MSM as purveyors of fake news is easy, right?

Given Malabar's "logic", there were no "fine people" marching in protest against the removal of Confederate era statues in Charlottsville, because those chanting racist slogans felt comfortable their co-marchers were of like mind.

Wait a minute...maybe he's on to something.
