Someone, years ago, suggested the image of Lucy holding out the football for Charlie Brown to kick, only for her to pull the ball away at the last second, as a metaphor for the media and conservatism.
Conservatism continually holds out the football of normalcy and then yanks it away from credulous media figures at the last second.
Basically that happened last night. Trump tried to be normal, but in the end he pulled the football away, retreated into his lies and most of all came across as false and insincere.
And every network covered it.
