People sometimes ask me why call it "the cool kids table" of media and I can't think of a single recent example better than this. A person fired for lying to her editors at Washington Post (amongst other things) and a CNN dude trying to fit in while ignoring her assassination fantasies. O'Sullivan isn't interested in journalism or extremism. All he wants to do is fit in. And getting on camera with Taylor Lorenz and giggling along with her like a Bumble date over commies murdering people in public is how he does it. All he wants is to belong.
That's it. It's not complicated. He wants to look funny and cool to all the other people around him in journalism. He doesn't challenge her psychotic statements about worshipping a murderer and calling him a moral stand up guy. He laughed and made an online dating joke. He's terrified of challenging her, because he's terrified what might happen to his career if he does. That's it.
