I honestly have no theories. I'm just curious what we all think.

(2,322 posts)It seems to me it is an embarrassingly small fraction of the increasingly-rare actual "reporters" with talent, resources, and that "Edward R. Murrow" persistence and spine who are even willing to submit to his crap in the first place. And then there is the problem that when he can control the circs, he excludes anyone who's ever done him wrong - like, say, telling the truth or failing to fawn properly.
For me, it is such a small set that the answer to your original query is meaningless.

I have been practicing to the silencing eyes of my wife hoping I don't have an opportunity.

The male reporters - especially Jake "Tapper" - are all spineless lapdogs.

(3,223 posts)if that ever happened. But as one poster has already mentioned, it would happen only once, because Trump would then start excluding everyone who wasnt a servile toady. It would also require a reporter with the attitude of Bill Hicks.
Post a clip of Bill Hicks to support your statement.
I'm still mad at Bill Hicks for dying.
He was up there with Carlin in his observations.
