Jeffrey Goldberg just now on Jen Psaki: "He's just trying to get thru the next ten minutes."

[Amaryllis]

"Journalists have a bias toward coherence. They want to make the world make sense. But you can't do that because he's just trying to get thru the next ten minutes."

1. That line stuck with me.

A bias toward coherence.

[Ilsa]

2. The first four minutes are riffing about pens.

He can't concentrate on the message his advisors are trying to explain to him. Any decisions he makes about the war he just pulls from his arse.

[UTUSN]

3. Lost track of him & his (deceased? ) mother after the CLINTON years. In this incarnation is he

a never-KRASNOV?

[struggle4progress]

4. Are you thinking of Jonah Goldberg?

[UTUSN]

7. Oh, yes. Will do teh Google on this one. Thanks.

[Wiz Imp]

8. Jeffrey Goldberg is the journalist who was "accidentally" invited into the Signal Chat last year.

[UTUSN]

10. Ah, excellent, thanks. It was an incompetent screw up, not a leak, no? (reacting to the quote marks)

[Wiz Imp]

12. Yeah. Pretty sure it was incompetence and not intentional.

[Pinback]

13. Editor in Chief of The Atlantic magazine.

This is not the droid you are looking for.

5. That was an excellent interview...

"Journalists have a bias toward coherence. They want to make the world make sense"

That really does explain why the journalists seem to 'normalize' trump's bizarre behavior, they are trying to make it coherent when that is impossible.

9. I think it's just a smarmy way of trying to excuse themselves...

for caving to Republican interests.

The only sense to be made out of Trump's and other Republicans'
nonsense is to say it is incorherent and a sign of insanity
and sociopathy.

[MadameButterfly]

14. They should be smart enought to know he doesn't make sense

and stop making excuses for him before it's too late.

[BurnDoubt]

6. What a hole we're in...

[BarbD]

11. More like a crater....
