100s of people have asked this today. Answer: Conway is a key W.H. aide. She speaks to POTUS. She reps the POV of many Trump voters. So, I strive for thought-provoking Q's. I think her answers AND non-answers are revealing. Judge the transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1805/20/rs.01.html … https://twitter.com/drvox/status/998320116017258497 …

In this particular segment, you complimented her out loud (sarcastically, I'm hoping) on her excellent pivoting! That's why your fans (among whom I most certainly count myself) are all comparing this to pro wrestling: we've all seen you dismantle other guests who try to do that.
-
once. pointing out the pivoting is occasionally useful IMHO. i get it if you disagree.
-
What possible use is there in one of the country's best newspeople pointing out a pivot but not pouncing on it? You don't see this near-universal reaction from your viewers about any other WH aide - because with her, YOU seem different.
-
We are smart enough to know what a pivot is. Stop her. Make her answer the question. Don't be a snowflake. I was embarrassed for you. Sad.

I stopped watching
@CNN because of its hypocrisy. While airing commercials of apples, bananas and facts first, every time I switch to that channel, there’s@KellyannePolls lying, twisting the facts and CNN’s hosts engaging in reality show dialogue with her. It’s just pathetic! -
Yeah,
#CNN needs to stop giving#kellyanneconway airtime. She brings absolutely nothing to the table. It’s just a waste of time that could be going towards something that isn’t complete & utter#BS. -
Exactly, they don’t need her to debunk her lies. They’re vying for the very Trump supporter viewers who considers
@CNN fake news & have absolutely no interest in facts first. This is how we got Trump in the first place...they gave a platform to Trump’s lies. Nothing has changed!

It’s amazing how Conway manipulates you in these interviews. You ask a question, she pivots without answering, you call her out on the pivot and you never stay with the original question until she answers. She is playing all of you that don’t work at
#FoxNews. -
The next time you have her on and she pivots, keep asking the same question until you get an answer. A 20 minute interview with you asking Conway one question is better than what we are getting now. Expose the stupidity and stop asking multiple questions that get no answers.
-
While the "one-question-until-you-answer-it" approach sounds logical, it is poor TV and likely will not produce an answer. The choice is clear: edit for actual answers or don't let Conway on the air. She's a pro at the evil lies she spews.
-
I think in Stelter’s position the “one question until you answer”approach will work. Just for one interview tho. She’s manipulated him to no end. He needs to get the upper hand back since throwing facts at her has no affect.

Here's the famous way a Canadian journalist handled a government minister who was giving her BS. This went viral in Canada and the minister was turfed in the election.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uERtSxpfo0c …

Awesome clip. Unfortunately, fact checking Trump & his admin doesn’t work well in America.
@FoxNews will run the opposite of fact checking & it works. The difference between a good/great journalist is being able to sink to or rise to the level of the person being interviewed. -
True. As a journalist, I watched top-notch cross-examiners try to break down the lies of expert (sociopathic) liars. It can take hours in court and who knows how many days of preparation before trial. TV doesn't have time or the audience patience.

She’s horrible and a liar. That would be all you need to never have her on again.

Could you please sift out the chaff and tell us if she said anything worthwhile?

Brian— Gotta say I had that strong impression, too. No hit on you as a reporter, as she is so off the wall, slippery and smarmy that no usual reporting techniques work. Just follow
@morning_joe lead: give her no oxygen!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think you do a good job. But what if she had to answer to the panel when they had clear facts that challenged her lies? Do you have to agree to her “rules” in order for her to be on the show?
