How can a story spin making dozens of policy experts and other officials being made available for interviews into a criticism? By casting the presidency as a television drama.

There may be legitimate reasons why it is important for the American people to hear from the president rather than other executive officials. And the sit down interview may provide something that other formats don’t.
If that’s so, then @politico should make that case on the merits rather than merely insinuating there’s a problem.

If the last 4 years taught us nothing else, I hope they taught us not to measure public officials by whether they supply us with gripping narratives and exciting TV.
Personally, I think there’s a negative correlation between exciting TV and good governance.
