      "Hanger-on" is false. Nunberg key part in steering Trump's political career from 2011-2015. Fact that Mueller subpoena has unhinged Nunberg is news. Axios prefers insider dope to actual journalism.https://twitter.com/axios/status/970991391118684160 …

      This is one of the reasons America hates the media. Our entire industry lit itself on fire because a troubled Trump hanger-on made an ass of himself — live. https://www.axios.com/sam-nunberg-metldown-msnbc-cnn-cable-news-mueller-51798471-2535-4d1f-86ba-d3f1417a9e36.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic …

      "Troubled" & drunk was Nixon administration line about Martha Mitchell ("poor Martha" as Nixon said). Interesting to see Trump administration & Axios resurrecting it here. Purpose is to get people to avoid thinking about why Mitchell & Nunberg "troubled"

      In 1972 and 1973 Martha Mitchell was drinking & calling up journalists telling them Watergate was a big deal. By the logic of Axios, they should've ignored her story.

          I literally just learned about her from the excellent Watergate podcast Slow Burn. The parallels are uncanny.

          But there is a difference between reporting the story and putting someone drunk on live TV who is about to run their own life.

          And @axios essentially live tweeted the whole Nunberg saga as it is. This is but one example:https://twitter.com/axios/status/970772966366699526 …

          It's amazing the amount of empathy the media has for white racists.

          I mostly agree. There’s something unique about the 24 hr cable news aspect, though. What did we learn from Melber that we didn’t get from Tur, or from Tapper that we didn’t get from Burnett? They just kept having him on & it some point it seemed more voyeuristic than journalistic
