God, some journalists are insanely stupid. As a baseline, it's always dumb to ask the meta question "why did you want to talk about x topic" because 99/100 the journalists are the ones who prompted the topic of discussion in an interview.
Faulkner's question also has, baked in, this appeal to tradition (the supposed norm of presidents not talking about their successors) for a tradition that has not existed for decades. It would be one thing to say Trump shouldn't talk about his successors if he was termed out, but he's not termed out, has expressed political plans for the future and he's still very much the active victim of an election theft the likes of which is only just beginning to be understood. It's like asking someone who has had their car stolen if it's appropriate for them to still refer to it as "my car" despite the fact that someone else is now driving around in it.
Lastly, and I hate saying it, I've never been impressed by Faulkner's journalism. She's a massively underqualified diversity hire. Fox in general is crap, but she's a notable laggard even among that dismal network.
Most "journalists" go to school for something called "Communications." Most schools, particularly state-run institutions, offer this major and it's wildly popular. It's kind of a catch-all for people who want to go to college but don't really know what they want to study. Kind of like psychology.
Anyways, these are the dumbest college students on the planet, outside of the social justice retards.
Communications degrees are often broken into advertising, public relations and journalism itself. I went to school with an actual journalism program (called news media at the school). It was an okay course load. The problem is a lot of the students and quite a few of the professors take the journalism 101 ethics course (which teaches you about bias in news reporting and how to behave objectively) and then they promptly ignore it and decide to act like political activists instead. Not all the students are stupid, but you are right that most of them are. The large majority of the remaining portion or just dishonest political hacks. There are a few good journalists out there but they sure as shit don't work for Fox News.
They are. I shared a computer lab and sat through a few of the journalism and communication classes. These are a collection of some of the dumbest adults I’ve ever met. This was 10 years ago now I can’t imagine how much worse it must be.
