My message to Kristin Welker and the rest of the corporate media [View all]

Take a page from the old song by the Staples Singers (one of mr. senseandsensibility's favorite songs) and RESPECT YOURSELF.

Do not put up with demeaning name calling, lies, and personal insults. Do not beg trump to complete the interview if he is insulting you and not answering questions or providing your viewers with useful information. Respect yourself and the solemn obligation you have been given by our nation's founders and the constitution. Your job is too important to succumb to a fear of losing access or a desire to complete the conveted interview at all costs.

You have legal and constitutional power, as well as a moral obligation to demand answers. But unless you also demand respect, you will get lies and insults. Neither of these is of any use to your viewers. By allowing them, you are failing.
