I am working the issue.
Alexa, why is my wife mad at me? Did you forget to send her those flowers I scheduled? No Alexa, I did not ask you to play "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. Alexa, did you feed the cat? Wait... No, Alexa stop... Alexa, did you feed our cat to the Roomba?! NOOOO!!!

And just for fun, here are all the Democrat leaders working hand in hand with the Republicans to build Trump’s inaugural stage for his second term.

All in the family folks.

How big do you think the bribe will be? Will Don Jr. or Ivanka get to sit on the Board of Directors? And how quickly will John Oliver be cancelled?

What are you talking about? Do you think this is Canada or something? Ha, good care for all?! People in the United States continue to vote for poor health care. Well, this is what we get. All of those Republicans that were worried about Obama death panels should look inward.

15/ Today we’ve published a deeply reported 5-part series. It’s about Albany, Georgia.

It’s about getting sick in America.

And it’s about what happens when the most powerful institution in town is a hospital.
As Phoebe Memorial Grew, the Health of Albany, Georgia, Declined
The five-part series, “Sick in a Hospital Town,” pursues one question: Why are people in Albany so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?

I think he comes from a traditional journalist background where historically, you weren't dealing with the leader of the United States being a narcissistic psychopath that lies pathologically. Traditional media just doesn't know how to handle it. Neither does Chuck Schumer and most of the Dems.

And have someone on standby you can immediately go to. Do that a couple times and they’ll get the message real quick.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

Listen to the clip. Instead of immediately shutting him down when he lies that he hadn’t heard about the pardon of the Honduran president who was convicted of a conspiracy to smuggle 400 TONS OF COCAINE, Stephanopolous lets him spew insanities about how this one boat was the existential threat.

THIS. Stephanopoulos needed to press harder or pull this Schmitt's microphone. This is how both-sidesing allows lies to be platformed and perpetuated. THIS is why I pay for independent media that calls a lie a lie.

That provides some interesting context for this scene
"Rickover gave me my command, a checklist, a target and a button to push ... They seem to want you to know why.

At the Naval War College it was metallurgy and nuclear reactors, not 19th century philosophy."
