1. Ah, they're beginning to come around. This is a change in strategy.

This thread explains why most journalists tasked with questioning Trump fail.

2. Reporters are not stenographers, nor are they campaign aides.

And they sure as hell aren't babysitters for the Toddler-in-Chief.

Let him hurl his bowl of num-nums onto the floor and waddle off screaming that everyone's mean to him, until he won't let anyone in but the scumbag from OAN. Hold his feet to the fire.

4. Thank you. Journalists are not supposed to simply fawn over politicians.

Sadly, it's not just Republican politicians who expect them to.

3. She did a great job, considering who she was grilling

I wish someone would put Trump in his place.. THE EMPEROR HAS NO FUCKING CLOTHES ON!
I can't wait till he is out of office... people will TELL HIM to his face what they thought of his
"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" term..

I just hope when he goes to leave the White House, the FBI and the STATE of NY are there with
warrarents for his Arrest.

5. I hope the people here who dismiss CNN as "just corporate propaganda" watch this.

8. Maybe CNN and MSNBC have learned a lesson?

They both helped get Trump elected by endlessly covering him and his rallies. Trump didn't have to spend campaign money he got free 24/7 press coverage. CNN was the leader in not showing the start of Trump's virus rallies, and MSNBC is catching on. They need to expand on that and just show clips after the rally is over. These coronavirus rallies just take the place of campaign rallies. Democrats need to get more air time to offset what Trump is doing once again.

14. Especially MSNBC

Joe and Mika in particular. Interesting how they changed their tune soon after IT was elected. Oh I forgot Matt Laure from Today Show also helped him.

Very courageous line of questioning

7. Paula Reid. And yes she is very admirable for her line of question.

Hopefully, the rest of the reporters in the room will follow her lead.
