I guess it depends on what "Everything" means?

CNN commented that the Republican Memo was a nothing burger because....

"...everything..." meant "everything but..."

This was swallowed by CNN viewers and readers because the alternative was too horrible for them to contemplate.

So "sex" is not sex.  "Is" is not is.  And "everything" is not everything.

Is that clear?
