Armchair Journalists

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."
The last interviewer to try this was Jonathan Swan, and he quickly went to the Grey Lady and was never heard from again. (He shared bylines with Maggie Haberman for a bit, but the high profile he had soon vanished.)

How many TeeVee journalists want Swan’s  career, v. Wolf Blitzer’s?

I love it when people give other people career advice they are themselves at no risk of being held to.
