@RunRichRun well, sadly it's not so much loyalty to Trump but rather loyalty to this alternative reality that conservative commentators spent months building up around the trial.

If you believed all of the false claims they've made about the trial then you'd say the same, that it's ridiculous to respect the outcome.

They're wrong, and that's a shame. But yet again, it's a call for us to find some way to restore faith in legit reporting instead of letting this nonsense fill the vacuum.
