This was my approach when trying to get oral interviews with segregationists for my first book.
“I’m writing about you and I’d love to get your input, but I’m writing about you either way.”
“I’m writing about you and I’d love to get your input, but I’m writing about you either way.”
You do everything in your power to get every relevant voice in a story. But as one of my former colleagues told a local official who thought his silence would kill a piece: “I’d like to have you. But the story is being written with or without you.”
Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus.
Weiss; What did the driver say.
Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times.

JD Vance’s insistence that the U.S. is a “Christian nation” was ahistorical nonsense.
But just as notable is the sentiment behind the rhetoric: He wants non-Christians to know they might be tolerated under his vision, but they’ll still be relegated to second-class status. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump's idiotic saber-rattling on Greenland is...well, idiotic. But I wouldn't start hardening the defense of Nuuk just yet. This looks like TACO territory. Remember, Trump's foreign policy menu is TACO, TACO, TACO. Threatens to get tough on Russia, doesn't. Threatens to get tough on China, doesn't.
