Is the media being manipulated by Trump over this transcript?
"It was honorable", he says.
"It was perfect... It was a perfect ten".
No doubt, give him a few days to doctor it up and give his redacted transcript and it will probably look pretty harmless.
But, the media needs to keep their eye on the ball. There is more than just a transcript.
Reportedly, there are several incidents that raised concerns with the whistleblower.
By the way, the whistleblower was not an official of the DNC and he was not a member of the "fake news". He took his concerns to the IG of the Intelligence Departments, a Trump appointee. Need we repeat that? A Trump appointee.
The IG deemed it an "urgent" complaint. It was a threat to our national security. Let's keep our eye on the ball and not follow the shell game of Mr Trump.
The next step in the process was to take it to the DNI, the Director of National Intelligence, another Trump appointee. He was required by the Whistleblower's Statute to refer it to the Intel Committees of the House and Senate. He did not do what he was required to do. Instead, he sent it to the DOJ. Only a moron would believe that Mr Barr, the Attorney General, did not inform the White House of the name and contents of the "complaint".
But, the media should be concerned about the obstruction of justice by the DNI and what information was in the complaint by the whistleblower?
All else is frivolous nonsense from the Propagandist in Chief.

so, I would guess the answer is "yes, unequivocally."
