Speaking of putting politics ahead of facts and reality, we now turn to CNN.

If you are one of the few people who still watches CNN (their ratings are in the dumpster), you may know that their senior data analyst Harry Enten often confounds his network colleagues by reporting a reality that doesn’t square with their preconceived notions of news. The resulting on-air exchanges can be quite funny.

Over the weekend, he appeared with news anchor Kate Bolduan and cited polls that found Donald Trump has a higher approval rating now than he has ever had before:

Enten: This is a very different Donald Trump.

Bolduan: Well, I would say correction. This is not a very different Donald Trump.

Enten: Trump is the first guy ever whose net approval rating in the first month of his second term is higher than any rating that he had (in his) entire first term.

Bolduan: I have a really hard time believing this.

Enten: This is true. I don’t make stuff up. The numbers are the numbers.
