I think it is reasonable to ask if there were follow-up questions at points because y’all published only a partial transcript, but, generally, I do think that people are criticizing the interview (and not the story) unfairly.https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/946588634064580608 …

Ultimately, I think Schmidt could have pushed back a little harder, but he was in a very tough situation: no-notice interview of uncertain length. Also: NYT is right to provide transcripts ASAP for all to use, but Dale is right they should quickly highlight all the lies within.

Those are my thoughts, and I appreciate all who have chatted with me about them! (See? Civility!)

OK, I’m really going to bed now. Thanks to everyone who cares so much about this. That’s a good thing! And it is fine that people disagree. That happens! Everyone can do, and be, better. But, it’s best to get some sleep first, then we can take on another day.

So pretty much this is what most ppl have been saying. Exactly this. It’s really not this complicated.

Naw. Look at the first tweet in my thread! I have said consistently that I would have preferred more pushback that what we see in the partial transcript. I think there is a failure to balance that with getting information about what he is thinking ...

... which then can be used in that and other journalists’ reporting.

I mostly appreciate the transcripts of his ramblings because it makes it harder for ppl to pushback w/claims of bias or fake news. He lies, though. At what point does simply publishing a transcript become blatant propaganda & not news?

There have been presidents that have been utterly uninteresting for reasons of their, normalcy (a term coined by Harding who was not utterly uninteresting.) Trump has become uninteresting by virtue of his being a dolt. His mind is predictable.
