If you’ve never heard of a person named “Windsor Mann,” don’t worry. You’re not alone.
So influential and important a figure is he that MSNBC literally had to identify him Friday on Morning Joe as “conservative writer Windsor Mann.”
Naturally, as with any guest who CNN and MSNBC need to stress is “conservative” or “Republican,” Mann’s sole purpose for being on the show was to hate on Republicans, and on President Trump in particular.
The misfits of Morning Joe couldn’t stress enough how much of an expert conservative writer Mann is, referring to him as “a student of the president, obviously,” who’s certainly qualified to “explain the psychology of a president” such as Trump.
This is the biographical equivalent of damnation by faint praise. “Student of the president” is a great, meaningless way to identify someone who has no relevance, has never interviewed the president, and lacks qualification in “psychology.” Mann apparently writes opinion articles for USA Today, wherein he says mind-numbingly predictable things such as, “Our current president is not smart.”
But credibility and substance are secondary to the national media when evaluating Trump. What matters is that they can book someone for television, deem him credible, then set him loose to spew whatever nonsense, so long as it’s negative.
If Mann’s opinion had anything behind it, MSNBC wouldn’t have to hammer his alleged credibility into their viewers’ brains with so many blunt instruments.
Never heard of this person but he’s a “conservative writer” who will criticize the president so why not?! pic.twitter.com/6rTod7hb2v

It’s the same thing on CNN every time the worthless Republican consultant Rick Wilson is invited on to, for the 6 billionth time, say how much he hates Trump. The interviewer, without fail, will set him up to go nuts with something like, “Rick, as a Republican, do you think Trump was right?!”
Wilson will then go on to call Trump an idiot, a racist, and a bigot and then further impugn the half of the country that voted for him as ignorant hicks. (It’s worth noting that Trump’s approval among small business owners, otherwise known as ignorant hicks, sits at around 65%.)
But Wilson is a Republican! Mann is a conservative writer! See?! Even they say it!
It’s so tiresome, but they never tire of it.
