6. She's not in any way "starstruck" . . .

She's just running a business, and she understands how the money gets made.

People apply the word "journalism" to the news business and think it's some sort of "public service" or something. Please. Maggie Haberman is in the business of producing a product for sale. That's all any so-called "journalist" is ever doing. Journalists will get into the business of producing "the truth" only at such time as they think there's a market for it. Seems to me that sales are pretty thin at the moment.
