My favorite part of the 60 Minutes interview is when Trump doesn't want to answer a question about masks so he tells Lesley Stahl "next question, go ahead" and she says "OK" and asks another question. Some real Meet the Press energy
Oh cool Stahl asking Trump about Hunter Biden's laptop. Let's see if he has anything substantive to say about this issue. He's the President, he might have good information
The go-off-king reaction to Swan's interview was a little obnoxious because he simply countered Trump's lies with facts, the baseline of what any journalist should do in an interview with a liar. But it's a gold standard compared with asking Trump "do you think..." on everything

One day I’ll be wrong for the first time ever but today is not that day
A weird truth about modern American journalism is that headline writers just really suck. There’s no explanation for it. You can write a great story and it gets summarily fucked by a bored and grumpy headline writer who stopped trying their hardest in 2004
I also don’t understand how the producers who write chyrons are so bad but they also just are bad for some reason

The news media has been painfully sluggish to adapt to Trump. 20 days before an election that he has promised to overturn and disrupt with white supremacist militia “poll watchers,” an autocrat who only lies as he gasses his own people is given a network town hall at his request
Covering Trump the right way is not hard intellectually—it’s only difficult with the artificial shackles journalists place on themselves. They believe their job is to ask the leader of a white supremacist cult who has killed 220,000 people what he thinks about the news of the day Image
The goal of the interview is “get him to make news”—a crazy quote that belongs in a headline and is covered elsewhere. The goal is not to prove he doesn’t read his intelligence briefings or doesn’t know basic facts about covid. It’s to get Trump to want to come back for another

Today is a sobering day: the four-year anniversary of the Access Hollywood “pussy" tape. As I do every year, I will be live-tweeting the events of that day as they occurred.
It was a pristine, crisp autumn day. Not a cloud in the sky, the trees slowly shedding their summer green coats. It was a month before the 2016 presidential election, and we all wanted it to be over.

As usual, I was with POTUS. He was visiting a DC-area elementary school.
As we entered the school, POTUS was greeted by admiring teachers and students. He shook their hands and talked about the baseball playoffs.

At that very same moment, unbeknownst to us, David Fahrenthold entered the Washington Post building a few miles away and opened his email.

This morning @MeetThePress gave Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller a platform for 10 minutes

NO DEMOCRAT was allowed on the show afterward to counter him

I’m told a senior Democrat was booked—but Meet the Press canceled them AT THE LAST MINUTE

This is open Republican bias
On @ThisWeekABC , Miller was also booked — but they allowed a Biden spokeswoman, Kate Bedingfield, to respond. Note the bottom of the screen where it says "BIDEN CAMPAIGN RESPONDS."

@chucktodd offered the Biden campaign no such opportunity.
This is just the latest example of Meet the Press's open right-wing bias. They have been stacking their "panel of journalists" with Republican governors like Scott Walker and Pat McCrory and not allowing Democrats to appear on them to offer a balanced view
