Media outlets should send health, medical, science experts to WH press briefings - they may be sending questions behind-the-scenes, but experts should be in the room who can pivot on the spot, ask follow-up questions & require responses from WH experts instead of Trump winging it
Cable news has this same problem, so much coverage is general news hosts / pundits weighing in on the pandemic, with a few, but not enough spots given to real experts, and interviews with experts are mostly too short and don't allow in-depth discussion or analysis
Imagine the balancing act Dr. Fauci and other experts in the WH need to navigate now to do their jobs and be informative without offending Trump's ego and risk being sidelined, which I'm sure is a real risk (to them and the country)

When Trump sycophants defend him reporters should go off topic, draw attention to his authoritarian behavior & ask:

Trump got things wrong, it's on tape, why won't you acknowledge it?

Are you afraid to publicly disagree with him? Or admit a mistake was made? Provide an example
News hosts should push back harder to call out the cowardly behavior of guests who lie on behalf of Trump (better yet, don't have them as guests)

And in press conferences, reporters should back each other up and keep re-asking unanswered questions

3+ years into this presidency and so many in the media continue to fail at covering Trump - there are so many similar suggestions from 2016 (I probably made a few of them then myself). Sigh.

Here's @wired story on how

Erik Prince helped recruit former American and British spies for secretive intelligence-gathering operations that included infiltrating Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda. nyti.ms/39zJeAn
"Using a different alias the next year, the same undercover operative infiltrated the congressional campaign of Abigail Spanberger, then a former C.I.A. officer who went on to win an important House seat in VA as a Democrat. The campaign discovered the operative and fired her."
.@rweingarten:
"Let’s be clear who the wrongdoer is here: Project Veritas used a fake intern to lie her way into our Michigan office, to steal documents and to spy — and they got caught. We’re just trying to hold them accountable for this industrial espionage.”

"the heart of a great conservative movement that helped to make America strong and prosperous in the 20th century – now helping to ensure she remains free and secure in the 21st century,"
Some CNP members - Mike Pence comes quickly to mind - in the context of bolstering their conservative credentials, have proudly revealed their CNP membership, even though CNP's policy is to keep membership a secret. Here is it's 2014 Membership, the latest splcenter.org/sites/default/…
#CNP's tentacles include well-connected activists who advocate for the imposition of fundamentalist Christian ideology in public life and have succeeded in forcing their agenda in republican administrations. A list of organizations working with CNP web.archive.org/web/2012020417…

The @fbi confirmed that they still maintain a relationship with the @splcenter. Outrageous. They are a money-making apparatus for far-left progressives and their socialist ideology. It bears little resemblance to the benign #watchdog group it portrays itself as in PR releases.
I am speaking with @CBNNews about the @splcenter today. We’ll talk about their so-called #hatemap and how they have used it to amass a war chest of several hundred million dollars. @FBI @TuckerCarlson #SPLCexposed
I wonder. Why does a benign #watchdog group like the @splcenter need to stash $90+ million dollars in off-shore accounts? #SPLCexposed @TuckerCarlson @FBI @CBNNews

There are eight more DeVos yatchs to liberate
Sorry, bad math. There are NINE more DeVos yachts to liberate. Idk how many yachts her brother, Erik Prince of Blackwater and Seychelles meeting fame has. Probs some oligarch worthy vessels though.
God I hope once these terrible people are out of power and hopefully in jail we learn a deck hand/marina employee did this.
