2. Trump will threaten her bosses. They'll sit her down and explain the facts of life. Welker will bend the knee.

How do you know she will kiss his ass? And do you really think there will be a “next time” after this?

12. Right. But what does that have to do with Welker and the way she does her job?

The OP attacked Welker, not dipshit Carr, Trump or the network.

13. I DO think she will.

She is certainly not the worst, but she has not been 'fair & balanced' IMHO.

While it is important to recognize who the villain is here, DJT, I still feel very sore towards the Washington Press Corps especially. Am I overreacting? Perhaps. But I honestly don't feel we would be in the position we are in had the press done it's job.

And as for Welker, sure, I appreciate her holding him responsiible. But at the end of her interview, she seemed to back pedal & state, "I have come all the way to Wisconsin." According to the article, they have already spoken about another meeting. There is no way he would agree to another meeting without reassurances that it would not be a difficult interview. We all have his number here on DU.

If I turn out to be wrong, I will freely admit it. I am simply speculating. I didn't necessarily want to single Welker out specifically, and maybe I did, but I really want to point fingers at the corporate media in general.

many in her field. She did so still respecting the presidency.
Hopefully her rebuttal will open some doors of fresh air.

be feeling. We now expect this kind of behavior from this POS, and we are right to do so. He never fails to 'disappoint', as he just exceeds his prior outrageous behavior with something worse every time he opens his mouth.

And at this point, I am not even sure he is the worst one. HIs administration is so full of fools and criminals, it is impossible to say. I was out of the country when he was elected, and I promised myself at that point that I would ration the news and not let this upend my mood, but this second term has been much worse even taking the Covid disaster into consideration. Watching the news is like watching a slow motion car wreck occur every day.
