CNN analyst and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said "most people" in President-elect Donald Trump's circle believe his nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense is done for.
She's a NYT star reporter. Trump has helped her career immensely since 2015. She's been on an insane number of article bylines and she's a regular on CNN. She's interviewed him I don't know how many times. She's a vile access journalist but she's got fantastic sources, she's highly insightful and she does actual journalism too. Her mom, Nancy Haberman, was a PR person who worked for Fred Trump, Donald Trump, and Charles Kushner. I suppose Maggie has made a few million bucks (more?) via all her Trump shit.

You're probably bored already but one more thing. When I've seen her on tv - I think she's extremely careful to appeal to an audience of one: Trump himself. A couple months ago she claimed that she didn't see any change in Trump's speech patterns over the years which of course is a ginormous lie. The man's brain is rancid grease and rotting hamburgers. Trump must consider reporters being honest about the sorry state of his brain a redline. And access journos gotta access.
All this time I've been thinking about her comment she didn't notice a change. It's stupid to get mad and stay mad somebody in the news or somebody involved in the news. That verges on parasocial shit. There's an entire class of people in the media, in PR, and in government who are awful and who say whatever is necessary that benefits their paymasters. It's what they do. It might as well be part of their job description.
Yet that sort of ridiculous bald-faced lie that's easily contradicted by simple reality gets my goat.
Thanks, wasn't boring at all!
Then you're gonna get more. Another access journo I hate is Peter Baker. Just look at this shit.
As reporters, our job is to observe, not participate, and so to that end, I don’t belong to any political party, I don’t belong to any non-journalism organization, I don’t support any candidate, I don’t give money to interest groups and I don’t vote.
I try hard not to take strong positions on public issues even in private, much to the frustration of friends and family. For me, it’s easier to stay out of the fray if I never make up my mind, even in the privacy of the kitchen or the voting booth, that one candidate is better than another, that one side is right and the other wrong.
His wife is another notable clown pundit - Susan Glasser. Not only to they actually have plenty of opinions - shocker I know - he and his wife constantly stream from their house on CNN, MSNBC, and PBS. I'm not sure if they literally stream from their kitchen but they probably do.
And they have plenty opinions on topics like Israel. And they have all the wrong ones. Because of course they do.
