I think we do disagree. If a president makes a threat, or says things that suggest he is ready to take actions outside the law, reporters need to determine whether he intends to do so. Can also challenge his premise. But failing to do the 1st is not doing the job.
Well, let's look at what happened. Everyone reported this 1) as if he came up with the idea of prosecuting it (he didn't) 2) as if it was reasonable. There's a reason Trump gets away with telling lies. Apparently part of the problem is no one is ever questioning his premise.
Add into the fact his known behavior: he says something outlandish. Sycophants don't challenge it. So he acts on that outlandish behavior, and is given ... more press for it. Rinse and repeat. No wonder his threats are getting worse. He's being rewarded for it.
careful marcy, don't want to cross a "red line"
Oh, I cross red lines all the time. It's why I'm not in the WH press corps.
and you do it without the press interviewing you at a golf club having to suggest what a "red line" could be!
Don’t agree, I think ignoring such threats by a president isn’t responsible journalism and that it’s ridiculous to assume that the REPORTER is assuming the premise as true. The reporter is asking how he’s planning on executing threat. Do we think the reporter AGREES with premise?
Where did I say ignore a threat? The way this question was posed enhanced the threat though, in a number of different ways.
Agreed. And this happens many times with the WH press corps and Trump. They accommodate the lies.
thereby giving continuous air time to the lies.
asking if action should be taken is a ridiculous question...because Trump's treason claim has zero basis in law. instead, a reporter could ask, why is this a national security issue..what is your legal basis for calling this treason. Ask why..not do you think..
Appreciate being able to read dialogue and both perspectives.
