This really is comical. Talk about doing a 180!
The man went from being Trump's worst nightmare & then on to the next President of the USA.
Now they are downplaying it, lying about it & some just ignoring it like it never happened. :laugh::laugh:
This was the MSM while Avenatti was the next hottest thing. Someone they adored and put on a pedestal - because they thought he was going to help them get rid of the bad orange man.

And now, he doesn't exist or they downplay their own words.
Lying CBS: ‘We’ Didn’t Misjudge Avenatti (Fact Check: They Called Him a ‘Rock Star’)
The journalistic lying and distancing from disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti went into hyper drive on Thursday and Friday. The anti-Trump lawyer was sentenced to prison for his effort to extort Nike of up to $25 million. But while ABC and NBC continued to bury the story, CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil falsely tried to claim CBS had nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to the porn lawyer.
Talking about what led up to Avenatti’s attempt to extort Nike, Dokoupil explained, “He had some very big financial problems. He had a big win in a lawsuit that then was reversed, and so maybe needed some money and went about getting it the wrong way.” Reporter Jamie Wax made things awkward by telling the co-host: “Maybe we went about covering him the wrong way.”
Dokoupil indignantly (and falsely) pushed back: “I wouldn't say we. I wouldn't say we.” Oh, so CBS covered him carefully and in a reserved tone? Well, no. From March of 2018 to March of 2019, CBS This Morning interviewed Avenatti six times.
And if that’s not enough to prompt shame, on the June 14, 2018 CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King discussed the possibility of Avenatti getting a TV show: “I would love to see Michael Avenatti. He’s going to do something. I just don’t know what it is.... He's a rock star.”
What was that about “we,” Tony? Of course, after Dokoupil chastised him, Wax backed down, suggesting he meant “the press collectively.” Well, that’s embarrassing too. According to a Media Research Center study, the network and cable channels interviewed Avenatti 254 times over a one year period, from spring of 2018 to spring of 2019.
