Could not watch this morning as I knew the whole thing would be another snow job by the mainstream media. I will answer my own question which is: "Who do they think they're fooling?" by saying, "Too many people." This whole thing reminds me of when Trump first came onto the political stage and Les Moonves, I think it was, a mainstream media person was rubbing his hands in glee over all the money he and his network stood to make by focusing on everything Trump did or said, without any analysis or criticism of course. So the media haven't advanced much in 7 years. Thank you once again, Dr. Lee, for your commentary. It is literally helping to keep us sane!

It has been reported that prior to Trump's interview there was a dinner meeting with Meet the Press staff and Trump staff. Over a very expensive meal they discussed the interviews so Meet the Press is getting paid by Trump. For more details check out Medias Touch videos. So Meet the Press is as corrupt as Fox. Can't watch either of them. They only lie to the public.

Recently it was reported by Keith Olberman that at the recent GOP debate, a large group of prominent folks in the press, including Krien Walker and other very prominent tv journalists and some of their bosses from CNN, CBS, and NBC, all went out to dine in a big group with Jason Miller and another Trump staffer(he's Korean American, I forget his name). Access journalism and unethical. Everything you are saying is true. Much of the press is contributing to the problem. Not all of them, but too many.

Thank you Dr. Lee. I appreciate your writings so much. There is something I learned in a Jury Trial class that I would like to pass along: The average juror speaks and compehends on a fifth-grade level. I think Mr. Trump does the same and thus he is effective. I hope you will comment. Thank you.

This all confirms disorganized thinking. A consistent thought process of our former former leader.

Trump's Quote that summarizes everything about Trump - "I am allowed to do whatever i want"

Slightly off topic - Many writers (Brad DeLong, Claudia Sahm, Paul Krugman, Eric Boehlert (RIP) ) sometimes end their blog posting with humor, music & pun. You should try it.
