      That's a lot of a thread, but it describes many, many interviews with a hostile witness, in media or law. The diff here is it's POTUS.

      They pushed back at points, but as you acknowledge, pushing back on every Trump lie kills an interview, makes it pointless.

          Pushing back assumes threshold over which the interviewer can push. With 45 there is no threshold, no moment of shame, no fear, no awareness

          Correct. Trump is delusional.

          Agreed. It would make the interview way too choppy. @maggieNYT does push back when needed at the right level (IMHO).

          I would suggest that any interview of DJT starts off as pointless. All this does is give cover to the GOP to enact highly unpopular law.

          I think the press needs to start covering him as they would, say, a foreign conflict, or perhaps a crime scene.

          Except that they should STOP interview 4ward prog. until Trump answers comments. ie "greatest speech, foreign soil" #reallyMSM ? #PERSIST

          . One can hardly "push back" at anything T says anyway, for him the "truth" of anything he said even moments before is infinitely elastic

          Not pushing back means Dear Leader interprets the silence as agreement and adds one (or more) voices to his imagined approval.

          If you confront someone's delusions head on, they only become more delusional. Trump is what he is. What you see is what you get.
