To the White House press corps: this doesn't take superior intelligence or

[Atticus]

talent, but it DOES take a spine and it does take caring. When any reporter (male or female but lately, it seems more likely to be a female) asks Trump a tough question which he does not answer---either by attacking the questioner or just going down some totally unrelated dark alley--- the NEXT REPORTER CALLED UPON NEEDS TO ASK THE SAME--- DAMN---QUESTION!

Write that on your wrist with a Sharpie if necessary, but stop letting this bloated bully off the hook!

1. K and R!

2. Exactly, Sir

Dutch reporters did this to some shit-heel the cheap thug appointed ambassador to the Netherlands. He tried to evade one, the next repeated it, and it ended with the journalist shouting he was there to answer their questions and if he wouln't he could get out.

4. Any video of that? Would love to see it

[The Magistrate]

5. Not My Patch, Sir

Read the account when it was current. Wouldn't know how to begin looking for video in it.

But it did occur.

This is the one you mentioned, and I’ll find the other where reporter played Hoekstra’s comments back to him.

3. This is

getting rather old calling the news fake, I would say you're a fake. And what's this about ratings??? People are dead, we are Puerto Rico now. He needs to be taken down by a slew of heavy questions. I would keep hitting him with questions don't give him the chance to spill lies.

6. I agree

I was just reading that when people tell lies, they tend to break down with a lot of questioning.

8. My analogy of the Press Corps/MSM in the U.S. is that they're very much like the eunuchs

who were in charge of the harem ladies in fabled mideastern world courts. The eunuchs had their jobs since they were incapable of sampling their wares and inconveniencing their masters, much like the
Press Corps is incapable...

9. No kidding. Grow a goddamn spine.
