ONLY A SURPRISE FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T REALIZED THE MSM IS LARGELY FICTIONAL:  The October Surprise.

DAN MCLAUGHLIN: The Unseemly Urge to Excuse Jeffrey Toobin. “What should shock us is that Toobin has yet to be fired, when nearly anyone else would be — any ordinary person, and almost any prominent person whose politics were different from Toobin’s.
