he jury. But there wasn't going to be a fair trial anyway. So I think Biden might have been maybe exactly the right person because he took all the energy out of it. If there's one thing that Biden can do, it sucks the energy out of a topic. And what did you need? This topic to have less energy, right? When I talk about Trump being an energy monster it's usually in a positive sense. He can take en…

The whole country was watching and really in a way the whole world because where America goes affects everybody. I think they did a tremendous job. And if they didn't follow the letter of the law I respect it because I think they may have been looking at a higher law and that would be okay with me.
Now we may find out later that my interpretation of the jurors is way too nice. And if we find that out later I will modify my opinion. But I'm not going to make the assumption that this group of patriotic Americans was anything but well-meaning, well-intentioned, and did a good job in the face of the impossible. That's my current position. Happy to modify it if we find out later that something's different.
All right, let's see what else we got going on. As I say once or twice a week, if you're not following Glenn Greenwald on Twitter you really have to just stop what you're doing and just give him a follow because watching him spank CNN and MSNBC and the other media for being essentially propaganda organs is just really good entertainment and useful. Like you really need to see how often it happens to fully feel what's going on and nobody does a better job than Greenwald in spanking them.
So today's example was the Officer Sicknick story. He's the officer who was killed, well I'm sorry, back up, back up, back up, erase everything I just said. He's the officer who died soon after the Capitol insurrection or riots or protests, whatever you want to call it. And CNN had been reporting that he'd been killed with a fire extinguisher, you know, hit in the head with it. And then they reported that the bear spray might have killed him somehow. And now we know that he died of natural causes. It was just sadly linked to that date.
And how did CNN handle the fact that they had been misreporting, I mean it was seriously misreporting this story for a long time? They kind of just glossed over it a little bit and Greenwald is busting their balls on it. So that's fun to see.
All right, you want some real fun? Here's some fun. Rasmussen is going to be reporting in a little bit. It's not out yet for the rest of you but I got a sneak preview. And they were asking a question about the opinions about Coca-Cola. You know, Coca-Cola weighed in and complained about G

eorgia's voting law changes and got involved in politics. And as you might imagine, liberals and Democrats went different directions on their feelings about Coca-Cola. But here's the funniest you've ever seen in your life. All right, here's the poll results to this question. Does the Georgia voting laws and Coca-Cola's response make you more likely or less likely to drink Coca-Cola products? The…
