During Sunday's edition of Reliable Sources, the panel engaged in quite a bit of hyperbole when reacting to the latest developments in the Mueller investigation. Baltimore Sun Media Critic David Zurawik likened the "Trump v. Mueller" narrative, which he described as "a man of rectitude who believes in the rule of law versus a man who will say anything, who scorns law," to a "battle for our national souls." Never-Trumper David Frum, a staff writer for The Atlantic, pushed back on the idea that journalists cover President Trump too much, claiming that the President "has the potential to organized human life on this planet in seven minutes" and describing him as "one of three human beings on Earth who has the power to end life on this planet," referring to the United States' possession of nuclear weapons. Frum continued: "if there's evidence that this person is mentally unstable or a criminal, that's really newsworthy."
