At a Hollywood Radio & TV Society luncheon, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell says of media coverage of Trump: "In some sense, it's been the easiest administration theyve ever had to cover, because the outrages have been so extraordinary and endless and multiplying on top of each other"
Lawrence O'Donnell says that journalists who cover Trump haven't had to have a mastery of policy or anything like that because they can just ask Trump "who are you going to pardon today?" or "why aren't you taking hyroxychloroquine?"
After four years of covering the Trump admin, Lawrence O'Donnell says that "the Washington press is deeply out of shape. It's like a baseball player who hasn't played in 4 years."
"When history looks back at this period of journalism," Lawrence O'Donnell says, people will ask: "Why didn't they ever stop and think of some new approaches to handle that?"
Lawrence O'Donnell on NBC Townhallgate: "There was accurate reporting that some of us, maybe a lot of us, inside the company disagreed with that."
"Don't put it on head to head against the Joe Biden town hall ... We absolutely could have just done it the next night."
"Don't put it on head to head against the Joe Biden town hall ... We absolutely could have just done it the next night."
Lawrence O'Donnell on what a President Joe Biden's social media would be like: "He'll be tweeting the most boring stuff. There won't be any capital letters, quotation marks. He will not sentence anyone to jail via tweet. He wont threaten to sue me via Twitter, which [Trump] did."
