We Have to Save Ourselves from Trump, Because Ambitious Careerists Won’t

—No More Mister Nice Blog

This is an energetic and thoroughly deserved take-down of the self-absorbed hacks who acted as fluffers for Donald Trump so that they could write their, "First 100 Days," story.

………

Here's what's most striking about this story: Its authors are remarkably eager to to tell us how they were jerked around by Trump, and how they responded by writing exactly the story he asked them to write. Admitting that doesn't fill them with shame. Hey, they're ambitious careerists, A-list journalists who had to produce a big story for a "Trump's first hundred days" deadline. Wouldn't you have allowed Trump to manipulate you to get that story?

Seriously, with a little bit of effort, they could have gotten Trump to say all kinds of destructive stupoid sh%$, and Trump would have been happy, because Trump is f%$#ing stupid.

Just push the buttons, and you get journalistic gold.

Of course, it means that your sources might go elsewhere, and shoe leather journalism is hard.

The pampered princelings who come out of journalism school are a disgrace, and I wish that A. J. Liebling was alive to tear them a new asshole.

Needless to say, I have added No More Mister Nice Blog to my blogroll.
