So…about that interview….
Hint: if Trump gets up and walks away from an interview when facing the exact same kind of pressure that, say, Obama faced when interviewed, that may be more telling than him repeating the shit he spews on Twitter anyhow. #JustSaying

Ppl look to journalists to report things, and that isn’t just repeating things you “hear” verbatim, but providing context for it to create a factual view. Too many have fallen into the #FoxNews trap of thinking “he said she said” is not only good reporting, but the only reporting

Listening is what good journalists do, this is true. But they also have to, you know, report. And simply transcribing what someone said without further context or elucidation is not journalism; it’s stenography. We want you guys to commit to journalism over stenography.

Not to mention Haberman, being…Haberman, once more.
Hslf of Twitter thinks the Schmidt interview was revealing about the POTUS because it was his unfiltered thoughts. The other half is angry that @nytmike did not audition as an extra for the courtroom remake of “A Few Good Men” and interrupt him constantly.

Very respectfully, I don’t think it’s a choice between “let Trump say anything he wants” and “play prosecutor and interrupt constantly.” Interviewers can - and do all the time - politely challenge wildly false claims without derailing the whole interview. https://t.co/RGSvohQbRd

Said with equal respect, your public persona has become based in part on the very real idea that this president is quite different than others. That goes for almost all manner of interaction https://t.co/rcKd1ybEJs

Haberman’s response and followuo here show just how empty she is re:Trump. The utter dismissal of all of Dale’s points is just…wow: https://t.co/zARPUx5Gdx
