I’m inclined to agree with Trump that the media is a joke. I’ve seen these patterns repeated quite a lot in the past week:
Intereviewer: Thank you for joining us, Important Person Joining The Trump Administration. Did you mean that outrageous thing you said or did in the past that nobody would ever in a million years acknowledge on television?
Important Person: Of course not, that’s silly.
Interviewer: Do you think that other guy joining the administration meant it when he said or did that outrageous thing in the past that nobody would ever in a million years acknowledge on television?
Important Person: Of course not, that’s silly.
Interviewer: There you have it. Our job is done. You’re welcome, America.
Later that night…
Trump: Tee hee, now I’ll tweet something!
Media: OH MY GOD TRUMP TWEETED SOMETHING WE’VE GOT OUR HEADLINES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!
