The farthest Trump’s own Treasury Secretary will go is “I think those commitments are real.”

"things happen"
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I keep wondering, what would Trump have to say to a White House reporter for one of their colleagues to push back?
I *think* an overt racial slur would tip the balance — but I wouldn’t bet on it.

For the life of me I don't understand why the White House press corps continues to debase itself. (Congress too, for that matter.)

The ethically correct response to access-related threats is to report them as part of the story, along with non-responses. Write (justifiably) with a critical eye toward those who make the threats and deny the access.
Problem is, you need most *everyone* to do this and propaganda organs will not.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.
