re: #108 Backwoods_Sleuth

For the past four years and change, journalists and GOP insiders have been publishing books where they make all kinds of documented claims about the corruption, criminality, and misconduct by Trump and his cronies.

These didn’t get reported until the books were on their way to the shelves, not at the moment when they were occurring despite all the evidence of criminality and misconduct that was being reported.

The corroboration by named persons should have been done contemporaneously and it should be page A1 above the fold in 30 point font.

Instead, we learn about this in books where the Trump insiders are trying to rehab their images, or journalists held back bits of their reporting in order to publish books with “new” information.

Journalists should do better. Insiders should be hauled before Congress and courtrooms to testify under oath - that’s the only place where I want to hear from them.
