way todd tried to get kac to answer his question.. the horror of it

kac did threaten with .. "I may have to rethink our relationship"

"The traditional way of reporting on a president is dead. And Trumps press secretary killed it"

As Jessica Huseman of ProPublica put it: “Journalists aren’t going to get answers from Spicer. We are going to get answers by digging. By getting our hands dirty. So let’s all do that.

No more stenographers.. spicer killed that at his own peril.

Journalists should respond by doing their jobs responsibly, fairly and fearlessly, in service of the public good.

Somebody has to be the grown-up in the room. We’ve just been reminded of who it won’t be
.

That's what we were always asking for.. it was President Obama who was the adult in the room.

Poooor cnn.. all they did was publish the report about Russia.. they didn't even show spicer's idiot presser as a show of good faith.
