I'm waiting for one brave host

[malaise]

to tell Don the Con - Teflon Don - live on air that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

[Downwinder]

1. Probably have to find a host who knows what he is talking about.

[malaise]

2. Hehehehhee

Great point

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. The fear that Trump will cut of access keeps the media in line.

Few will call him on anything.

[yallerdawg]

4. Chris Cuomo on CNN gets into it with Trump!

Cuomo, as in Mario and Andrew from New York?

I think he's gonna go off on Trump soon, and good thing it's cable!

[malaise]

5. He twists everything to suit his agenda

and never answers the question. He tells them how he expects them to interview him. I can't bear to watch anymore.

I just want someone - anyone - to snap and go after him using his approach.

[yallerdawg]

8. Well, keep an eye on the "Clinton Network" CNN!

I get the feeling some of them like, Chris and Wolf and others, are remembering their journalism roots - and know Trump is essentially a fringy huckster crackpot!

Cuomo has been saying no more calls - face to face - but his "bosses" backed the "news department" down, I do believe.

[malaise]

9. He sure is a fringy huckster crackpot

a despicable human being.

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. He is allowed to dominate the conversation when he phones it in.

Stupid media.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. they're NOT $tupid. It's all dollars and $en$e.

media overlod$ could care le$$ what hor$e badortey the talking head$ $pew, a$ long a$ it follow$ the money making narrative. they don't hear the word$.....they just regurgitate the po$t-interview talking point$, and $how the pretty picture$ of Drumpf bloviating non$en$ically.

read "On Bended Knee" to $ee how the media completely caved to the Entertainment Tonight ver$ion of the new$, and how forthright Hertg$aard'$ big name "journali$t" interviewee$ were about admitting their role in $hoving the myth of Reagan the demigod v$ Reagan the demagogue down the throat$ of the completely uninformed "new$"
consumer'$ gullet.

$ome $ay that'$ where it all $tarted. other$ in the know believe it was with "The $elling of the Pre$ident"

who care$? it'$ here to $tay, and so i$ "Idiocracy," but 500 year$ early, and the impending reality may be a not very amu$ing ver$ion of Mike Judge'$ dystopic vi$ion.

21. Sorry, my disgust got ahead of me

I was reading your post and when you got to:

I just want someone - anyone - to snap and go after him using his approach.

My mind skipped ahead a bit and I read it as:

I just want someone - anyone - to snap and go after him using pencils.

Your version is much nicer...mine would make some great reality TV. I wonder how fast the donald can run?

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

6. Don't hold your breath

Those "journalists" are as bought and paid for, as the Pols they pander to.

[malaise]

7. And therein lies the problem

Most of them are mannequins - male and female taking orders from producers and management.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. On air personalities always took their news from producers...

Good producers are hard to find. These are the people who previously sought both sides a real news stories.

[malaise]

15. Good producers are hard to find

That's it right there - now they're corporate hacks

[Gabi Hayes]

24. sort of.....the good ones that stay good end up like mary mapes. and...

check your PM/email, or whatever they're calling it.....there IS a solution

[Jeffersons Ghost]

10. You can't say "fuck" on the air...

Maybe someone will suggest that he needs mental help. EVERY world leader realizes Trump suffers from mental illnesses, which are a danger to the commerce of their nation. As usual, some world leaders want the worldwide economy to collapse, because they are so wealthy.

[AntiBank]

22. you sure as fuck can say fuck here on the telly (Sweden)

[Warpy]

11. You can tell he's picking up his stuff from drunks

on the Republican fundraiser cocktail circuit. That's why all the blathering about Broaddrick and Foster, neither of whom he'd recognize if he tripped over them. Drunken Republicans think both are somehow relevant.

[rurallib]

13. It's time to let comedians like Stewart, Samantha Bee, Maher, Colbert

I am sure you could name others - to do the interviews. Fuck the M$M.

Or maybe a real journalist like Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez etc

[malaise]

14. He wouldn't buy in to an interview with any of them

They'd eat him alive

[rurallib]

17. they could wear Brett Baer(?) masks

Donny says he's not stupid, but I think that's a lie like everything else he says.

[malaise]

18. Love it

[LiberalElite]

16. Caucasian Boomer here, posting a well-known quote from the '60s:

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." Eldridge Cleaver

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Yes, but pls don't call him teflon. Don't try to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. nt

[Jesus Malverde]

25. Keep in mind the hosts are in the business of collecting eyeballs for advertisers

Why would they alienate a car wreck people like to gawk at? Trump is bringing in millions of advertising revenue for the dinosaur media. Millions of lovers or haters, they don't care. it's the attention and wallet of the media consumers they are after.

[Logical]

26. I think they're afraid he will not come back on their show. Which should not matter. Nt

[TDale313]

27. It shouldn't, but yeah, you know it does.

[imari362]

28. This entire thread had me...

Thanks...OP and all those making comments
