except every poll taken in last month shows clear majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of crisis...this while Gov and leaders around the world see their approval of crisis numbers skyrocket
idea that Americans can’t see how Trump utterly failed to protect us might help GOP sleep at night, but it ain’t reality
gee, 15% unemployment just happened.

good look in Nov

1. access journalism has been a problem for years.

it's become a crisis under Trump bc the stakes are so high; pressrun.media/p/access-journ…
2. Trump finally emerged from his Fox News bunker for a pandemic interview w/ ABC. but he had nothing to fear, and he probably knew that in advance.

the WH and the networks understand how this game is played. they land the "get" he gets softball interview.

even w/ 75K dead
3. Three years into Trump's presidency, and journalists who have access to him for one-on-one Q&A's are not up to the challenge of interviewing a nonstop liar.

they seem willing to simply play along w/ the game

my latest—Access Journalism is Killing Us. pressrun.media/p/access-journ…
"Muir did what so many TV journalists before him have done over the last five years — he let Trump get away with it. And Muir did it at a time when America is so desperate for answers and accountability."
"Afraid of curtailing future access, and afraid of offending red state viewers, the TV questioners are content to let Trump spout nonsense. That's not journalism."
