Good news. After a national manhunt conducted by many deeply concerned right-wingers, CNN's "extremism reporter" has been located. 

Donie O'Sullivan had not been seen since he took valiant action to confront the My Pillow guy in early June, asking him if he ever gets tired. It was a heroic piece of journalism, focusing on the pinnacle of political extremism in the United States. Sure, left-wingers recently murdered two Israeli embassy workers and set elderly Jewish women on fire, with violent anti-ICE riots breaking out in Los Angeles after that.

Still, there was simply nothing else to cover. Mike Lindell's energy levels were the only story out there.

But with O'Sullivan's return, we can expect his doggedly unbiased reporting on political extremism to once again take center stage, and as left-wingers are pelting CHP and LAPD officers with chunks of concrete, the CNN star has his eye on the ball: He's covering right-wing "misinformation."

.@Donie has (maybe) sobered up and is now on CNN not talking about riots and violence from the left, but about misinformation and AI.

There is a reason why he looks dead inside. pic.twitter.com/pnON4swByG

You can not parody these people. You can try, but you will fail. The universe of bias that mainstream press reporters exist in is simply unfathomable. Attempts to mock them never measure up to the reality of their sheer hackishness.

With the riots in Los Angeles spilling over to Chicago, New York, Seattle, and elsewhere, you'd think an "extremism reporter" would, you know, report on that extremism. Instead, O'Sullivan's first appearance on CNN since the violence began is to claim that conservatives are spreading "misinformation" because some of the videos of cars burning might be a few days old. Did I mention you can't parody these people? 

Imagine believing that because a video might be 24 hours old, that somehow means the riots in Los Angeles aren't happening or don't matter. It's also not "misinformation" to share what has happened. Those videos were real. The cars were set on fire. Officers were assaulted. Rocks were thrown from overpasses. Stores were looted. None of that is "misinformation." 

Ironically, just hours after O'Sullivan reposted Stelter's article about most of Los Angeles being peaceful as a way to excuse the riots, Mayor Karen Bass imposed a curfew. I'm sure she just did it randomly, for no reason at all, though. Everything is fine. There are no riots. It's all just right-wing "misinformation."

Breaking: DEI Mayor, Karen Bass has announced an 8pm curfew. Warning that anyone that is not exempt will be arrested by LAPD.

Opinion: If you ask me, it doesn’t sound like LAPD has things under control like Newsom and Bass insisted Friday night. pic.twitter.com/Gr5vV6vOrQ

CNN is awful, but there is one positive in all this. We get to make fun of people like O'Sullivan, and that's something. Politics is serious business, and having sideshows to laugh at is a welcome change of pace from time to time.
