My disdain for the media is well known and this is just another example of why. This methane breathing lowlife cannot fathom a reason in our society why Mick Mulvaney would ever be allowed to work again much less work for a "news" agency like CBS.

What journalistic purpose could this possibly serve?
It was hard to understand until my colleague Jeremy Barr got hold of a recording of a CBS staff meeting that answered the question (https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/03/30/cbs-mulvaney-backlash/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5).
