Totally agree with your analysis. Raskin is terrific, but he was far too mild. Bash's question was insulting and juvenile. He should have called her on it.
It's not about balance, whatever that means. It is a profound aversion to asking difficult questions. The politicians, who are schooled, will evade and give non-answers. The tactic is to ask the question again in a slightly different way, get the same answer and move on. This way the evasion is public, for all who choose to listen. It is also a reflection of profound intellectual cowardice (my opinion).

And recall that they are now in the shadow of the Ellisons… it’s more business than bias.
