I just finished UNBELIEVABLE by Katy Tur. [View all]

[madaboutharry]

There are several things I learned from this book. Here are just a few: First, Katy Tur seems like a very down to earth and charming woman who is very honest about her weaknesses and vulnerabilities. She also wrote wistfully that she gained so much weight during the campaign that she stopped looking at herself naked.

Second, the relationship between journalists on television is not always one of camaraderie, there is a darker side to it. The competition for air time is fierce and there is a lot of backbiting that no one feels good about.

Third, Donald Trump is a pig. A truly awful pig. He is a lazy ignoramus who told the world well in advance that he was going to be a horrible president. (Tur, of course, said this in a slightly more diplomatic way.) Pity those who didn't listen.

Fourth, Donald Trump is responsible for having made Katy Tur, along with other journalists, legitimately and genuinely fear for their safety and their lives.

Katy Tur's book is well worth your time.
