DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

because intelligent, interrogative interviewing can get you shut out of access, most U.S. media - especially TV news - actively *discourages* it in political reporting. Contrast the UK, where the unavoidable status of the BBC paradoxically meant it could be much bolder, setting the norm for others.
like i'm not trying to be mean to op here but Isaac is literally a good interviewer who can use subtext and knows what he's trying to get at. This is the baseline competency I'd expect most access reporters to be at in a normal universe. But we don't live in that.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

basically, why care about this at all if the “community” of interest doesn’t give a shit about something they claimed for years was an all-important matter of national security?

The GPU export-controls being undone to crickets is also incredibly rage-inducing. At this rate I'm not even sure if they'll pretend to give two hoots about the fall of Taiwain
