This is exactly the fundamental endemic problem,

Journalists think of themselves as prosecutors or cross-examining lawyers.

And the line betwen Journalism-Media-Infotainment blurred/destroyed also means much of he media is in the same problem.

Same for congress (most members) think of themselves as (or were) prosecutors or cross-examining lawyers.

Journalism is NOT a courtroom.

Media-Infotainment is NOT a courtroom.

Legislation/Capital HIll Committees NOT a courtroom.

Let me fix the WH Press Corps. Our Great Press Secretaries don't deserve to work in such an abusive environment. I'll have it cleaned up and through bootcamp in weeks. Make the WH Press Corps the best in the world again!

MAGA On!

PS A Debate is a debate. POTUS debates aren't "real debates" so don't use a broken "debate" format as a yardstick. It's like calling football and soccer both the same football, it is not--different rules, different refs, different balls.

PS Journalism is: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, & HOW.

PS Congress is legislation, the Article 1 of the Constitution. They are not the judiciary or the executive. They don't get to put people under the "penalty of perjury" as perjury is a judicial branch function, LITERALLY written into the word per jury; because it's a crime which requires a court, a judge, a jury, a lawful matter, intent, material facts, etc.

Infotainment doesn't require any of the above, but often tries to, see TMZ or CNN.

It’s seriously feels like the news folks are just lawyers who are trying to act like they are in a mini court to throw traps for trump to step in later.

Fuck our media. They will be in hell with most of the lawyers as well.
