Amorality vs. immorality. Immorality is considered the much greater failing.
From what I see, his lying is so bizarre and so obviously proven false, he clearly doesn’t understand the importance of saying what is rather than what he’d like things to be.
If you wish to make him a Machiavellian villain, which I see CNN doing, you assume intent. Makes a half fool half villain a full villain.
And Lemon and Tapper have it out for him. That is unquestionable. They’ve seen the advantage of taking him on in terms of status elevation. Cuomo also, but to a lesser extent.
