Tapper just interviewed Haberman and Swan about their book Regime Change

[senseandsensibility]

He covered many topics from the book but mostly stuck to how trump was overreaching his authority and how sycophantic his staff is. I wondered if he would even broach trump's health since he was so extremely concerned about Biden's. After all, even if trump's health was not a main focus of the book, hi bizarre behavior most certainly is. So how then do the authors explain such behavior?

Finally, at the end he did ask about trump's hearing problems, falling asleep, bruised hands, etc. But it was significant to me that he only asked about trump's physical health. His extremely and increasingly strange behavior would not be caused by those problems. Haberman said the administration is not transparent so she doesn't know about his health.

And Tapper seemed willing to leave it there. Nothing to see here, I guess.

3. Nichole Wallace...

Spent her first hour talking to them today.

I missed most of it due to a phone call.

5. Lawrence was actually the first to interview them a couple of nights ago

and it was a great as one would expect. Even Jon Stewart got them to admit that everything trump says is a lie and to KEEP ASKING. That was their advice to other journalists.

8. Saw that too...

Glad they are making the rounds and in some cases, much time is well used in talking to them.

4. So great that they didn't report

any of this in real time but waited until they had a book to sell.

6. Good way to ensure that I won't buy it...

Although I probably wouldn't have anyway with those authors.

12. Well

It's easier to get gain the confidence of people if you play a long game rather than a short one. Doubtful they would have gotten anywhere near as much information/interviews if they were writing articles at the same time because by the second or third one their info pipeline would have been cut off by the Administration.

7. I didn't say their book was great

I described Tapper's interview and how he did not seem to be interested in Biden's mental health.

9. Surprised Tapper

didn't bring it up lol

[PCIntern]

10. Ask Tapper if he even got to first base with Monica Lewinsky

That’ll wake him right up.

11. Three so-called journalists

who chose to write books instead of telling us what was going on as they learned about it.

All three of them can go to hell.

[senseandsensibility]

13. You have a point

It's access journalism. The fact that he agreed to talk to Maggie and Jonathan is suspicious in itself. I thought the same about Woodward. But I withhold my most scathing critique for the WH press corps who let him get away with lying every day.

[choie]

14. Agree. But that press corp

is now full of Trump sycophants.
