I believe in good writing and good story-telling—and some trade-offs are inevitable—but have to stay close to the complexity of reality.https://twitter.com/DavidAstinWalsh/status/1036995433619447813 …

It is also why we saw so damn much Trump on TV. Everyone thought they'd found the Turning Point, the "have you no decency" moment.
