Quote of the Day:
“…There are great Americans deeply concerned about a changing nation. God forbid one buys Trump’s mad rant and takes action…is just plain wrong. I worked w/ reporters like Daniel Pearl who died a gruesome death seeking truth; scores die yearly exposing facts…”
— Jim VandeHei, CEO, co-founder, Axios, reacts to President Trump‘s speech in Phoenix.
Kurt Eichenwald gets outraged about something: Part IIVXI
“Jesus, they’re even inhuman 2 their own. @Ford_Springer of conserv @dailycaller slams Barron Trump 4 his clothes. FORD! Kids are OFF LIMITS!” — Kurt Eichenwald, contributing editor, Vanity Fair.
The story Eichenwald was so enraged about involved Barron Trump‘s attire. It was a tweak on the boy’s wardrobe and not the all out vicious attack various journalists like Eichenwald and Chelsea Clinton are making it out to be. Trump is a no rules president. There is no real reason why reporters must follow the antiquated rule of not covering the first children. This story was hardly paparazzi-style coverage of a child.

Reporter develops creative method to delay deadline
“Sometimes on deadline I’ll initiate a conversation with an editor to discuss the story to make it seem like I’m closer to filing than I am. It’s mostly a form of self deception. Anyway, this speech was sort of like that.” — Olivia Nuzzi, New York Mag.
Reporter dispels notion that the Secret Service hates Trump
“1. Seeing tweets that Trump’s Secret Service detail hates him because he’s rude. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s just not true. 2. Trump’s detail finds him to be very respectful/kind and they’re very happy serving on his shift. I know people don’t want to believe that.” — Yashar Ali, freelancer for HuffPost and New York Mag.
So here’s Piers Morgan dancing on vacation. See here.
