48. And Haberman (NYT) continues to be a normalization vehicle.

Wed Jul 19, 2017, 09:09 PM

Jul 2017

The president has identified Haberman as a journalist he can trust to repeat his words unchallenged. That's why he gives all his big interviews to Haberman at the NYT.

Haberman is more responsible for normalizing Trump than any other single journalist. So much for a 'liberal' press.

Haberman's stories should say (lie) and (Russia spy and moneylaunderer met with Jr) and (sanctions) and (Sessions' recusal after lying to Congress is entirely normal).
The stories should say those things after every lie the president tells.

At this point I can't tell if Haberman wants to retain access to 45 (i.e. venality) or whether she's not smart enough to realize how he's using her. (Using her to destroy American democracy, I might add).
