The media is just terrible

I say this all the time, but it’s worth repeating the media sucks at follow-up questions. Just watching Jake Tapper and CNN, he had a Trump health official on. At first he is doing going well with asking relevant follow up questions, then he had this official cornered about Trump’s health care plan....the official says you haven’t seen our plan and then rambles nonsense, Tapper is smirking, but instead of Tapper asking him to go into details about his plan he thanks him and says that he is looking forward in seeing the plan.....SMH

He stopped the puke from spewing his talking points many times. Pukes never answer the question they are asked is more the problem for me anyway.

We learned a lot of negative lessons from Nixon but the bullshit of "secret plans" should have been near the top.
