"As I’ve argued before, when Trump says something bogus, you stop him right there. I’ve been arguing since at least 2017 that anyone with a chance to interview Trump owes it to the public to confront him with the facts he so routinely denies. …

The obligation for our major news organizations is not just to transmit Trump’s messages, but to explain what’s so toxic about them."

~ Dan Froomkin

"My personal theory for why [journalists] hold on to this ridiculous notion [that Trump will 'pivot'] is that Trump secretly being a normal human being beneath his bluster will justify the votes that the parents and grandparents of many national reporters have made in Trump’s favor.

If Trump isn’t really a bigot, then Mee-maw is absolved."

~ Oliver Willis

P.S. I think Oliver Willis is absolutely right about this.

Statement from the Harris campaign re: Trump's performance at NABJ:

"Today's tirade is simply a taste of the chaos and division that has been a hallmark of Trump's MAGA rallies this entire campaign. It's also exactly what the American people will see from across the debate stage as Vice President Harris offers a vision of opportunity and freedom for all Americans. All Donald Trump needs to do is stop playing games and actually show up to the debate on September 10."
